Our Methods
Our Assessments provide a deliverable
This is designed be used as a
roadmap to deploying the solutions required for your issue.
Furthermore, a professional diagnostic provides faster and more professional results by revealing issues beyond the scope of the users symptoms and any technical limitations of a on site technical associate or consultant. This protects you as a user and us as an independent technical
resource by minimizing surprises as a solution progresses. If we find other items that are interwoven and unforeseen, we will advise you at that point and require your authorization and a change order should it fallbeyond our original scope of services in any earlier agreement. This deemed change order will need authorization and a revised budget prior and possible payment prior to proceeding. At the end of the day, we endeavor to build a relationship not just an invoice. However, both are integral parts of a business relationship, especially in the service arena.

Our partners are the foundation of our success that supports us!
Support rates (first???)are hourly, daily or grouped by quantity of incidents over a span of time.
A small portion of the applicable rate is held as a deposit against the work to limit both the exposure of the client and ourselves. We perform, as a routine, a tracking of our work. Should we find that during the exposure that the job seems to be larger that than what is indicated, we advise the client before going further. In some cases, one job may have a multiplicity of factors that require clearance before the main reason for the call is addressed. This is the reason for our approach. It is also why, client trust if is absolutely important. There are many times that what a clients thinks is the problem, is not really aligned with their statement of the perceived issue at hand. As we navigate our day, often we have to work with software that is intertwined with the target application. Below are just a few of the manufacturers that we represent and take training from and have the status of authorized resellers or certified consultants. Also know that we sell desktops, laptops and servers along with other items that might be required to make an application "Work" for you.
It is the same for your business as it is the same for your business. Strong relationships breed successful collaborations and thus having someone to trust in your business is a brings peace of mind and great solutions.
Onsite Services
Our first responsibility to the client is define the issue that is brought before us. Many times due to the breathe of experience what is suggest as the source of the problem is not actually the problem at hand but a symptom. We take measures to ensure we are on the right path then, list a hard quote for the job. This Budgetary estimate is fixed against what we agree the service request actually is at hand. Things such as, faulty desktop operating systems, faulty network components, virus and worms, corrupted data and unusually large data files, unstable systems is what is usually present when lack of maintenance and other associated events related to machine care have not been a priority. Once the issue is locked down and agreed upon, then the vehicle for repair is selected. That vehicle is either a web managed services or a physical call to the clients trouble site.
The Physical call has a minimum of 2 hours with 1/2 hour travel time attached one way. The hourly rate is typically fixed to the difficulty of the job at hand. During the first 1hour of the fix and assessment is taking place. Should the repair seem much longer than anticipated we would advise you at that time.
- Typical Rates are the mimimums as follows:
- 2 Hour within 15 mile radius with 1/2 hour travel time
- 3 Hour within 16-40 mile radius 3/4 hour travel time
- Travel exceeding 40 miles to 75 $100 flat rate in excess call!!
Hourly, 1/2 Day and Full Day Rates are available

At the end of the sessions, a comprehensive view is noted in a white paper.
It is designed to provide the previous user with an understanding of where he or she is after the engagement was completed. These protocols are in line with Best Practices for groups of similar kind.
Service is available on a as per needed basis, by the incident, which is scaled on an hourly rate based on the complexity of the job. For example, when a system has crashed occurs, as a server with 50 workstations, remote access and middleware, a site call will never be the same amount as a company with two desktop clients sharing data.
First time users fees are due at the end of the session with a small portion paid in advance. We stand behind our work. Generall, if the system works directly after the fix. I twill continue to work ecluding alteration or any adjustment by the user. If there is an adjustment that is required by a user and we were unaware at the initial call, we will be happy to make the adjustment, but this serves now at a change order and in billable time. as it should be. If this is not the case and it is a component interaction issued we reserve the right to adjust the billing accordingly. (e.g.manufacturer patch switch setting malfuction, depending on the issue we may not bill and all or we may adjust the account based on a mutual agreement, where you the client is satisfied and we the consultancy are not abused)
Sometimes, files just simply don't work well together.This is way there are service packs and patches for programs. Technology changes every three months and thus files not "playing well" with eachother, is not a rulst of our "mistakes" These issues demand a correction on the manufacturer level and may need to be addressed with an update. We could do that however, that is a change order and thus a billable sequence. Our connections with the manufacturer gives us access to service packs and technical updates that would help in these scenarios so commonly found in our day to day progress.
When an existing client refers another business to the
helpsolveit team and it results in a sale, we will do something
to demonstrate appreciation.
