However, you now know that if the rare occasion pop -ups where do miss your expectations, there's an easy way for you to let us know so we can fix it ASAP! If we ever do make a mistake, you can count on us to l00% own up to it. HOW DO I ORDER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE? Whenever you need any new equipment or software, we've got you covered. We have a dedicated Procurement and Ordering system designed to take the hassle and pain out of the process whenever you need to order anything.

If our distributors tell us that it's going to be out of stock for a while, we'll work with you to find some alternatives (especially if it's something you need quickly). CREDIT ACCOUNTS Currently, we don't offer Credit Terms or Credit Accounts because quite frankly, we're not very good at being a bank. We're far better off at helping you with Technology and we choose to focus on that instead. If you are looking for credit, we're more than happy to work alongside your financial supplier to help you obtain credit on a project. If you don't have a financial broker, we put you in touch with one that several of our clients use. Just give your Sales Account Manager. SOME MORE IMPORTANT BITS Here's a few more important bits of information to help you better understand and navigate the crazy Technology world and some of the terminology we may use when we're talking to you! SECURITY VS USABILITY In the Technology world, there's an ongoing battle between Security vs Usability. Every day, there are millions of hackers around the world, trying to break into networks like yours. There're literally high-rise buildings full of these hackers in countries like Russia. The problem with Technology though is that typically, the more Secure your systems, the harder they become to use! On a graph, it looks a little like this: So, please know that we do our very best to make your business as secure as we can. And, at the same time we also try to make things as easy to use as possible, while keeping security as high as we can. You might notice this in things like that every single user uses 2 -Factor Authentication. We know it can be painful to use because we protect l00% of our systems with it. However, it can help block LOTS of the most common hacking attempts that are happening on your network to help keep your data safe. We error on the side of high security, but we also aim for easy usability. IN SCOPE VS OUT -OF -SCOPE If you've ever been to an All -You -Can -Eat Buffet, you'll know that you're able to eat as much of anything that's out on the buffet's as possible. However, if you'd like something that's NOT on the menu — then you must pay for it separately. 4, *MA L% Our Fixed Fee IT Agreements and Fixed Fee Projects work in the exact same way. That means, that you can have as MUCH as you like of anything that we cover in your MSA Agreement. And, when you need something that's not on the list, we will simply quote you a separate Fixed Fee Quote so you can work out whether you want to go ahead with it or not. We call this whole conversation IN -SCOPE and OUT -OF -SCOPE. 4 OWL(& ATTACHMENT 1 Insert the City's Agreement for Contract Services or any other agreement that is to be used In our proposal, we hereby affirm our commitment, if selected, to meet the minimum insurance coverage and indemnification requirements as outlined in Exhibits E and F, respectively, of the City's Agreement for Contract Services.
