Frequently Asked Questions about IT Support

001
What are standard IT support hours for a business?

Most standard IT support plans cover typical business hours, for example, 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. For businesses that operate outside these times, reputable providers offer extended or 24/7 support options through tiered Service Level Agreements (SLAs) which clearly define response times for after-hours, weekends, and public holidays.

It’s important to clarify the difference between “helpdesk availability” (when you can log a ticket) and “engineer availability” (when an engineer will actively work on the ticket). For global businesses, some providers offer a “follow-the-sun” support model, where tickets are passed between support teams in different time zones to provide continuous, 24-hour coverage.

002
Is there a limit to how many tickets can be submitted?

This depends entirely on the support model. Pay-as-you-go or hourly support is effectively unlimited, as billing is based on time used. Subscription plans may include a specific number of hours or offer ‘unlimited’ support for a defined scope of common issues. This model is designed to provide cost predictability for day-to-day operational support.

Always best to clarify the terms of any plan. Plans advertised as “unlimited” often include a “fair use policy” in the fine print to prevent abuse. Review the provider’s “scope of work” document. This defines what is covered under the plan versus what is considered a billable “add-on” or “project,” such as setting up a new office or onboarding a large batch of new users.

003
What issues does a typical IT support plan cover?

A good IT support plan is designed to handle day-to-day user-level issues. This typically includes software troubleshooting (e.g., Microsoft 365), user account problems, printer and peripheral setup, and basic network connectivity for end-users and their workstations.

More complex problems, such as server failures or security incidents, are usually addressed under a more comprehensive Managed IT Services agreement. Understanding this distinction is key to managing expectations and ensuring you have the right level of cover for your business needs.

The line between support and a new project is key. For example, fixing a user’s Outlook is support; migrating the entire company to a new email system is a project. A clear scope of work prevents misunderstandings and ensures that billing is transparent and predictable.
