Is it better to go with a fixed quote or a time and material estimate?

For service and small upgrades, it is typically best to go with a time and material estimate. This allows us to charge only what you use and is necessary to provide top notch service. With service it is difficult to totally predict what issues will be encountered, so the fixed quote is usually a bit higher.

How does the time and material process work?

We provide a conservative estimate on the time and material needed to address the issue or upgrade. Then the customer provides a purchase order for the estimated amount. When the service is completed a service-report is sent to the customer. If there are no questions or concerns, then the customer is only invoiced for the actual time and material used.

Are there discounts for pre-paying for service?

Yes, in the form of an Annual Service Contract. This contract gains our customers many time and money benefits. Your benefits are as follows:

Do we get a copy of any programs that are modified during a service call?

Yes, we provide copies of the program as it was prior to our arrival, and as it was modified prior to our departure.

Will we get a description of what was found and what was done?

Yes, a detailed service report is sent to the customer upon completion of the service. If there are no questions or concerns regarding the report, then the service call is closed, and the work will be invoiced.
