Our Best Endeavor Support
To give the best possible service we request all hardware and software is vendor supported with a current maintenance or support agreement where available. This allows us to contact the vendor directly avoiding timely delays and potential downtime.
Whilst we pride ourselves on our troubleshooting skills and abilities to solve many different types of technical problems, please bear in mind that for 3rd party products outside our Recommended Technology Platform, it may take us some extra time to familiarise ourselves with managing and supporting these products.
We may still be able to purchase items from other vendors at your request (depending on whether our distributors stock it), however if any unforeseen issues arise in the setup, installation and ongoing use, we may need to invoice you separately for this time.
We will always provide a quote prior to any out of scope work.
