IT support (on premise or remote)
Somebody who answers when things stop, remotely or on site — with a response time stated honestly rather than reassuringly.
Support exists for one simple reason: when a workstation, a printer or a connection stops, somebody in your business stops working. The real cost of an incident is almost never the repair, it is the waiting.
So we handle remotely everything that can be handled that way, because it is faster, and we come out for the rest. A significant share of incidents resolve without a visit, provided the access is in place — which is one more reason to document before the failure rather than during it.
We state response times we can keep rather than ones that reassure. Support that promises an hour and arrives the next day destroys more trust than support that says half a day and holds to it.
Finally, we document interventions. What was done, why, and what still needs watching. An incident that has happened three times is not an incident, it is an underlying problem — and that is only visible if somebody keeps the record.
What we usually find
- A failure blocks somebody for half a day before anyone reacts.
- You call a different technician each time and they rediscover your setup.
- The same problem returns every month and nobody looks for the cause.
- You have no record of what was done last time.
What changes
Somebody who knows your setup
No re-explaining the context on every call, which removes half the handling time.
Response times stated and kept
You know what to count on and can organise work around it, which a vague estimate does not allow.
Underlying problems identified
An intervention log surfaces what recurs, and what recurs gets corrected rather than repaired.
What you get
Remote assistance
Most incidents handled without a visit, which is faster for you.
On-site intervention
For what cannot be resolved remotely: hardware, network, cabling, replacement.
Intervention log
What was done, when, and by whom — readable by you and by any other technician.
Stated response times
A first-response window agreed in advance, and a real one rather than a comfortable one.
Estate management
Inventory kept current, warranties tracked, and replacement planned rather than forced.
Access prepared
The necessary access in place before the failure, without which a remote fix becomes a site visit.
Is this the right fit for you?
This is for you if
- You have several workstations and a failure costs you working time.
- You have no in-house IT person, or they need support.
- You prefer an honest estimate to a flattering one.
This is not for you if
- You want a contractual recovery guarantee. That is discussed and written separately.
- You want a permanent on-site presence. That is not what we sell.
- You only call when everything has been down for two days. We can help, but the damage is done.
What we commit to
An honest estimate rather than a reassuring one
We state what we can keep. A promised and missed deadline costs more than a longer one honoured.
Every intervention is documented
Readable by you, and by any other technician picking the account up after us.
What recurs is flagged
A repeated incident is treated as a problem to fix, not as an intervention to re-invoice.
What decides the real response time here
Parts availability dominates everything. A repair whose component is in local stock resolves in hours; the same incident with a part to import stops work for weeks. That is why we advise keeping a spare workstation or device rather than relying on a supplier’s speed.
Travel depends heavily on the area. We attend on site in Algiers and the neighbouring wilayas, and work remotely everywhere else. Beyond that we agree travel charges before setting out rather than letting you find them on the invoice.
Finally, a significant share of the failures we handle come from electricity rather than from computing. Outages and voltage variation damage power supplies and corrupt disks, and a properly sized UPS removes an entire category of calls.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a contract?
No. A one-off failure can be handled on request. A contract mainly buys priority and a stated response time, which matters when an interruption costs you money.
Do you handle emergencies?
Yes, with priority for contract clients. For others it depends on current load, and we give you an honest estimate rather than a reassuring one.
Will you work with our IT person?
Yes, and it is often the best arrangement. We simply ask that the split of responsibilities is written down.
What if you cannot repair it?
We tell you quickly, with the options: repair by a specialist, replacement, or a temporary workaround. Losing three days trying costs more than saying so straight away.
Do you handle hardware purchasing?
Yes, at cost plus a stated margin. You stay free to buy elsewhere, and we will install it anyway.
How do we know what was done?
Every intervention is logged. That is what makes a recurring problem visible so it can be corrected instead of repaired every month.
How to start
Tell us how many workstations you have, where, and what fails most often.
We come back with what we can handle remotely, what needs a visit, and the first-response time we can genuinely keep.
What we have written on this subject
IT support: the reported fault is not the fault
Nobody rings to describe a defect. People ring to say what they can no longer do, and all the work starts with that translation.The person everybody asks: the internal relay
In every business somebody who is not in IT absorbs half the problems. What the role costs them, what to give them, and its three limits.Support and maintenance: what you buy when you buy time
It is the only family in the pillar sold by time. Everything turns on a sentence nobody asks for: the moment the clock starts.The quarterly review: holding a provider to what they signed
Between signing and leaving there are two years nobody writes about. Four numbers measured from your side, and a thirty-minute meeting.
