First and foremost, you never want to go without security protection on your computer. Most operating systems now come with their own antivirus software, the built-in security system does a reasonable job at keeping malware at bay, but you should still consider beefing up protection by installing antivirus software.
Free Anti-Virus has very low detection rates, as their signature DB’s are not updated as often as their commercial counterparts .

Cloud backup also known as Online Backup is the process where your onsite backups are transferred to an offsite server every night. The server is located in a secure data centre. Cloud Backup replaces the need for someone to take a backup home each night. It is more secure, reliable and easier to manage and monitor.
We work with each client to establish specific expectations. Our measurable service levels specify clear consequences for not living up to our agreed-upon expectations. This will largely depend on the support agreement level, as they all have their own response times, and the agreement that has been made with the client and the contract terms.
The table below list the basic response times, these will change depending on contract and/or Service Support agreement.
| Category | Support Level & Initial Response Targets |
| Critical | Silver = 2 Hour Gold = 1 Hour Platinum = 30 Minutes |
| Medium | Silver = 1 Business Day Gold = 4 Business Hours Platinum = 2 Business Hours |
| Low | Silver = 2 Business Days Gold = 1 Business Day Platinum = 4 Business Hours |
Managed IT Services Contracts vary by provider. Some providers offer month-to-month programs, while others require a multi-year contract. Some have a very high start-up cost and lower monthly, while others offer a middle of the road monthly cost and spread the cost of start-up over the term of the agreement/contract.
We pride ourselves on being “ecosystem agnostic”: whether you use Google Apps or Office365, Windows or Mac, Android or iOS, we will support your team. Need to install a server onsite or host one virtually on Amazon or Azure? We will support you. Need to transition from one ecosystem to another? We’ll be there for you.
Just to name a few like Civica, Oracle, Salesforce, SailPoint, MuleSoft, MS Azure and a host of other applications and systems.
When possible, write down any information about error messages and take screen shots your issue. Next, attempt to recreate the issue. Often times, it helps to close the program and restart the computer to reset the system, and possibly resolve the problem.
Our service model uses a fixed monthly fee, which is based on the size and complexity of your particular infrastructure. Once contracted, your Managed IT Services will cover maintenance and support for every component of your infrastructure, providing you with peace of mind and the ability to accurately forecast your IT maintenance costs. Additional activities outside the scope of the contract are treated as T&M and charged at the contracted rate card fee as agreed. Any service fee that is not listed on the rate card will be charged at standard commercial rates or depending on the size and length of the task rates can be negotiated.

This has been a discussion point for quiet some time, and often asked. Why is a fixed-price quote/proposal more expensive?
The answer to the question is quite simple, as IDT Solutions takes all the  risk associated with the work that has been proposed, even if the tasks take longer than estimate, and of course this mean that the client needs to provide a fully detailed specification, anything outside of the specification will then be re-quoted as additional work.
T&M – Time and Material quotes/proposals are generally quite cheaper as the risk of the work is taken up by the client and any changes to the specification or delays are charged as required, if the consultants/developers are  required to remain onsite or continue to work with the client to makes changes. This type of proposal allows for quite some flexibility to the work that is being requested, as the client will only be charged for the time our staff are working on the activity/project as requested.
The client needs to keep in mind that not all organisations will provide fix-price quotes/proposals, at IDT Solutions we can, BUT a fully details specification will need to be provided, and only after review of the specification to make sure that no ambiguity exist, and in consultation with the proposed team that will be working on the project/activity.
All our proposals are T&M, unless otherwise requested.
