Who is the independent second opinion for?

Companies who outsource their IT support

You have an IT Provider who looks after your network. The problem is you can’t tell if the service you are receiving is actually any good. 

Here are some common concerns:

Something seems off

You get recurring problems, vague answers, or see a bill that's crept up with no explanation.

Verification

Your provider set everything up, and no one outside that relationship has ever checked their work.

You want clarity

You want a better idea of how your network is configured and confirmation that best practice has been applied.

Where to start

Evaluate your current service

I have created two documents that will help you to evaluate the service you are currently receiving from your IT provider. They are completely free to download and will allow you to to review your current service on your own. 

The IT Provider Self Assessment

A convenient scorecard that will allow you to evaluate your current IT provider's service.

Score your current provider across 6 categories: responsiveness, monitoring, backups, communication, data ownership and accountability and see exactly where the gaps are.

No technical knowledge is assumed or required.

10 Questions To Ask Your IT Provider

This free download will arm you with a set of questions to ask your current IT service provider to see how well they are supporting your business.

Each question provides an example of a good and a bad answer so you'll know how to read their response even without any technical knowledge.
