During tough times, companies are becoming ever more vigilant looking at every item of expenditure and, often without too much deliberation, looking at cutting back items that are not deemed essential such as third party support for hardware and software in favour of so-called free support from software vendors. However, these services often fall short of what is actually required due to the very low service level agreements or the “reasonable endeavour” nature of the support offered.

But can a business really afford to wait up to five days to solve what could potentially be a simple problem?

Excitech has two support options available aimed at helping at ensuring your design teams remain effective and efficient.
