Questions Received with Applicant Answers ( Ask Questions? )

Regarding the request for "onsite technical support services", is this support just for the initial installation and turn up of the service or is the school asking for an additional onsite support services contract? If the schools is asking for an onsite support services contract please provide what level of support service they are looking for.

Answer:
We are requesting on-site technical support from the ISP if the district’s internet goes down and the problem cannot be identified or resolved from the service provider’s side. We are a small school district, understaffed in our IT department and we need a level of support that will provide for on-site technical support from our ISP.
