Factors to Consider While
Choosing IT Support

most
important
factor to look
for whenever
you want

business.
focused

You need to have someone who understands well
all your business, who have experience in how
your business works and who is willing to meet all
your needs. The company should have the grasp
of what it is happening in your own business.

You have to talk
to your IT
support
company using
business terms.
You have to be
capable to talk
about what you
want and to
explain the
issues.

You can let them know
what you want to
achieve and you can do
that without using
technological terms.
After listening to you
talking about your
problems, the IT
support technician
should be able to come
up with the solution and
to explain the proposal
in the terms that you
are able to understand
well.

• The IT
support
company
you hire
should be
capable to
fit into your
business
culture.
Cultural fit

Keep in mind that the
workers of the IT
support team will be
coming to your home
and they will be
dealing with your
staff, or they may
have to train them on
how to use the new
hardware or
software.

The new IT will
bring change, and
the change is
something that it is
hard for most
people to adapt.
This is why the
technicians you
hire should be able
to deal with the
workers you
already have.

Proposals
• In case you
want to hire an
IT company for
regular
services, then
you will have
to give a
written
proposal that
outlines an
approach they
use.

While reading the
proposal, you have
to consider if the
proposal is
readable, if the
supplier does not
have any problem
in expressing his
idea or if there is
any technical term
used had been
explained.

The prices
quoted
should be
clear and the
reasons
behind the
pricing.
There should
be no hidden
extra in the
price.

If the company will have to deal with a third party
company, they should offer an explanation of why
they use them and why they think they are the
best.
The proposal should also reflect that the
company had understood your needs and the
services have been tailored accordingly.

Value and price
• When it comes
to choosing IT to
support
Pittsburgh
Company, then
the price is
among the
factors that you
will base
yourself on while
making a choice.

If the companies
quoted different
prices, you
should
understand what
it is included in
the price. You
should consider
the value of the
services which
goes beyond the
price itself.

If you base yourself on the price alone,
the services offers may not fit your
business needs or may not be helpful in
the future.
