Frequently Asked Questions about IT Business Services

Have a question? We have the answers! Following is a list of questions we frequently get from people before they choose A Better Choice Network Solutions. If you don’t see your question below, please feel free to contact us. Someone will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Do you work on Apple/Mac or Windows?

Yes, within an established network as part of our RMM service. We primarily focus on Window’s based PC’s. However, we are able to support Apple products within an established network as part of our RMM service.

Do you work on Android?

For hardware repairs, we would refer you to your phone provider or a repair service. If you utilize your mobile phones as part of your business, we can monitor it just like your computers.

Can you help me with my tablet or smart phone?

It depends. For business clients on our monthly service that utilize mobile phones in their business, we can install our RMM agent on the device to help protect your network, your data and assist you with any problems. In case of a lost or stolen device, we could locate, remote wipe and/or lock the device to prevent access. This is very important for mobile devices utilized for businesses that are required to be PCI and HIPAA compliant.

I have a small business with only 1 or 2 computers. Can you help me?

Yes, we can. I understand the challenges of running a small business. My parents built a small business and ran it for 30+ years. I also know what it is like to have to wear many hats. Let me take some of your responsibilities and concerns off of your desk. It will let you focus on building your client base and increasing your revenue.

What if I have an employee that does my IT work for me?

That’s great! We can help you evaluate how they are doing by running our comprehensive security assessment on your network. As IT professionals, we are all on the same team. We are happy to work with your employees to give them the tools they need to ensure your network security.

Do you help companies that are not subscribed to your Remote Monitoring and Management service?

On a case by case basis, we are happy to. Conversely, we focus primarily on prevention of problems and highly recommend our RMM service. Plenty of IT providers out there (break/fix model) will fix your immediate problems, but do nothing to prevent future problems. I’ve found that many clients are pleasantly surprised when they can budget for their IT problems monthly knowing that 95% of their problems will be prevented before they occur. Downtime is extremely costly for a business.

What will it cost for you to come on site to fix a problem?

Recognizing no two projects are the same, each quote starts as a consultation. Our team factors in the complexity of your project, the features you need, and the number of devices you have. Start by scheduling a phone call or online meeting. After this getting-to-know you conversation, we’ll provide a custom quote to fit your unique needs.

What areas do you service?

Currently, we have customers in Hillsborough, Polk and Pinellas Counties. We are happy to take your call. Many issues you have with your network can be resolved remotely. We’ll help you assess whether it’d be better to contact a different provider based upon your needs and potential down-time.

What is the difference between break/fix and managed services?

Think of your vehicle. After you purchase your vehicle, do you drive it until it breaks down? Likely, you adhere to a maintenance schedule with oil changes, balancing of tires, and alignment checks, right? It makes the vehicle last longer and run smoother. Your computers and the network that they are attached to need similar attention. When you follow the routine maintenance schedule with your computers and network, they last longer and run smoother. Managed service providers are like mechanics for your network that focus on routine maintenance, prevention and problem resolution. Break/fix technicians often focus only on immediate resolution of the problem.

What services do A Better Choice Network Solutions offer?

We offer remote monitoring and maintenance, help desk, VoIP phone systems, surveillance camera systems, anti-virus, and backup and data recovery. Additionally, we offer hosted exchange (cloud based email), technology consulting, employee training, hardware sales and service, and repair services. We also will provide network security assessments, HIPAA assessments, backup (BDR) assessments and PCI compliance assessments.
