    WHY MANAGED IT SERVICES

    Simply put we operate in a fixed-fee support program, so every support call and every service visit is covered. No more unexpected bills for hourly IT service. That is, if you sign up for an SLA (Service Level Agreement). Otherwise it’s back to the old break-fix model.

    Using the “break-fix” model, clients fix only when something breaks, this is great for the IT support companies as the billing is by the hour, and this costs the client a small fortune getting the systems and staff back to full productivity.  (a crashed PC takes between 2 and 6 hours to be fully re-installed along with all it’s applications and what ever data was on it).

    If you fall behind in keeping up with things such as backups, patches and security, the odds are that you’ll face an IT outage or another problem down the road that will negatively impact your business. For instance, if your e-mail server, customer relationship management system, financial application or network goes down unexpectedly, you face substantial productivity and revenue losses as a result. And if you are using the per hour billing model, things could get VERY expensive.

    The Window’s certified engineers immediately respond to all alarms and customer calls with objective decisions and critical analysis in real-time:

    • Tier 1-3 technicians

    Well, pretty much anything to do with maintaining and monitoring a computer network.

    TESTIMONIALS

    The Window provides managed IT services to us. Their technical team is competent and their CEO, Mark Johns, is great to work with – he brings expert knowledge, integrity and an easy to-work-with approach. We collaborated effectively with the Window to setup IT and telephone infrastructure for our new building in Centurion; the Window executed the project extremely well, from analysis to implementation & post-production support. The project involved some complexity and tough time constraints. Overall, I compliment The Window for their accessibility, reliability, quality of work, adherence to contractual & SLA obligations, and a positive contribution to the Attorneys Fidelity Fund since 2011 when I started to work with them. I would confidently recommend the Window to anyone
