Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What is managed IT?

It means a provider looks after your technology for a regular fee, instead of you calling someone when something breaks. It often covers a help desk, monitoring, updates, backups, security and advice. What is included varies, so ask for a list.

How is managed IT priced?

Common methods are a fee per user, a fee per device, a flat monthly amount, or a tiered plan. Some providers charge by the hour when something breaks. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask what is covered by the monthly fee and what is charged on top.

What is a service level agreement?

It is a written commitment about how fast the provider responds and how fast they aim to fix different kinds of problems. Ask for it in writing, and what happens if it isn't met.

Will they work on-site or remotely?

Many problems can be fixed remotely, and some need someone on site. Ask how the provider handles each, and whether on-site visits are included or charged separately.

Who owns my data and passwords?

You should. Ask who holds the administrator accounts and the records of your systems, and how you would get them if you left. Be cautious of a provider who won't tell you.

What about backups and security?

Ask how data is backed up, how often, how a restore is tested, and how the provider protects your accounts and devices, for example with multi-factor sign-in. If your industry has rules about data, such as health or card payments, ask whether they have experience with them.

What is usually not included?

Projects such as moving offices, big upgrades and new hardware are often quoted separately. Ask what counts as a project and how it would be priced.

What should I look for in the contract?

The length, how to end it and what that costs, how prices can change, what is excluded, and how the provider helps you move to someone else. Be wary of long contracts with heavy penalties for leaving.

What should I have ready?

How many people use computers in your business, what systems and software you use, what problems you have, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye an IT company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't provide IT support. Any proposal or quote comes from the company that contacts you.

Will several providers call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified provider contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
