Effective support audits are important for a small business IT solution. Your IT environment has to be setup right for cloud technologies such as Office 365. There are also different options on Office 365 packages and a law firm will have different requirements to a plumbing business. A monthly amount is proposed based on the information gathered. Background on this: by the time a company is looking at a solution like Office365, their requirements have changed from having IT being a grudge purchase/or a secondary consideration to one of strategic and operational importance. IT must work reliably to help grow their business. Therefore proactive and monitored support is required.
