Our Core Service
| What’s Included? | What will my service technician/engineer do? |
|
|
| Critical Support Service | Reserve Hours |
A critical support call-out will consume one of your allocated scheduled visits or will be taken out of your reserve hours pot if available. If an emergency call-out is determined to be caused by a third party system, we will raise the request with them to deal with it at their highest level of urgency, but cannot guarantee their response or resolution times |
Customers can also opt in to purchasing a set of reserve hours which can be used at any point throughout the year except from public holidays and our Christmas shutdown. The reserve hours must be booked in advance with your service technician and hours can be used during school holidays. These reserve hour’s can also be used as part of our critical support service, meaning that you don’t need to worry about extra payments when a critical incident happens. We normally offer 10 reserve hours as standard, but this can be customised depending on your requirements. |
The Financials
At PKAT IT Services we believe in ensuring that all students and teachers have the same equal access to high quality technology and education networks. Our core support packages covers everything you will need to manage and maintain your schools IT infrastructure. Even if we are unable to attend a site visit, we aim to provide a like for like remote service via our central team.
When building your customer support package, your main contract price will be made up from the number of requested visit hours x the hourly rate. If you have selected any additional services to be added to your package, these will be included within the total service cost and a full breakdown of your package will be provided prior to sign off. Our support package is purchased based on a weekly or fortnightly visit, typically either 39 or 19.5 visits per annum depending on requirements.
Should you wish to purchase the reserve hours pot, this is priced based on the standard hourly rate of your package. The purchased hours will then be held until they are required.
Examples of reserve hours usage:
- Critical Support Call-out
- Half term/holiday support hours
- Onsite training sessions
