Each year companies become more dependant on the technology that drives their businesses. Internet access and email have become as important as dial-tone. Clients and users have come to expect little or no downtime. IT departments are expected to support more technology with fewer employees. These and other factors are causing companies to rely more heavily on their preferred suppliers and consultants for prompt technical support.

Trusted Network Solutions provides guaranteed SLAs (Service Level Agreements) to help companies meet the requirements of their users and management. An SLA offers the comfort of knowing a TNS engineer will be available within a predetermined amount of time to help resolve network outages and other technical problems.

Without an SLA, a TNS engineer is deployed on a “best effort” bases. If all engineering resources are tied-up, there is no guarantee of how long it will take to get an engineer onsite. When a client purchases a TNS SLA, they are guaranteed access to an engineer within a specific time window. TNS offers multiple levels of support to fit the response time and budget requirements of any company.

Please contact your TNS account executive for a needs evaluation and formal proposal.
