Preventive Maintenance
IT infrastructure reliability is a critical
aspect of running any business today. On average, IT infrastructures
run 90% or more of all business communication components. Clearly
the reliability of your IT infrastructure is critical to the success
of the organization. However, all too often, companies maintain and
update systems only after system failures have already caused expensive
business disruption and downtime.
Flavor Technology Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs are the solution
to lowering these business risks and increasing your system productivity.
Flavor Technology knows that proper ongoing maintenance of your computing
systems is important to the cost-effective and reliable delivery of
critical business services. Whether an application server, email,
PC, firewall or remote office connection - the dynamic nature of IT
means software and hardware must be maintained and updated to ensure
stability and secure performance.
Flavor Technology Preventive Maintenance programs help our customers
turn reactive technology support plans into proactive ones. Our programs
maintain the ongoing health of your computing systems. Our managed
care approach delivers fixed cost plans that focus on preventing problems
and associated — and too often unmanageable expense.
Flavor Technology performs Preventive
Maintenance through onsite and remote services that benefit your company
with:
- Scheduled software updates to ensure systems have the necessary patches and revisions and users are computing on similar and compatible platforms
- Asset tracking that helps manage technology investments
- 24 x 7 monitoring that uncovers issues before they become problems that effect the performance of your network and systems
