SLA-backed support
Response times as fast as two hours for major incidents on the fastest tier, penalty-backed in the contract — accountability in writing, not in a slogan.
Break-fix support gets to you when it gets to you, priced per incident with no obligation on speed — which is workable until the incident is the one that's actually costing you money by the hour. Our support contracts set response times by severity, down to two hours for major incidents on our fastest tier, and those numbers sit in the contract with financial penalties attached if we miss them, not as marketing copy on a page.
That distinction — response time being penalty-backed rather than aspirational — is what an SLA is actually for: it turns "we'll try to get to it soon" into a commitment you can hold us to and plan your own operations around. You know, before anything goes wrong, what tier you're on, what that tier guarantees, and what happens if we don't deliver it — which is the accountability a slogan can promise but a contract is the only thing that can enforce.
Systems earn their keep long after go-live — if someone keeps them healthy. Our Gaborone support desk runs on contractual SLAs with penalty-backed response times, staffed by consultants who already know your environment because they built it.
Product-routed helpdesk
Requests logged online or by phone route to the right specialists — ERP, payroll, cloud — with critical incidents phone-first.
Remote & on-site
AnyDesk remote sessions for speed; consultants on your site when the issue calls for it — across Botswana.
Proactive care
Patching, monitoring, backup verification and periodic health checks — so most incidents are prevented rather than resolved.
What does SLA-backed IT support cost?
Support is priced per user, per device or per tier, and the honest drivers are coverage hours (business hours versus 24/7), security depth, whether backup is included, and on-site expectations. When you compare providers, compare the contract terms: response times by severity, what is out of scope, and whether the SLA carries penalties. Ours does — in writing.
What is actually included in your SLA?
Contractual response times by severity — as fast as two hours for major incidents on the fastest tier, with a 24/7 option — plus proactive patching, monitoring and backup verification, remote and on-site support across Botswana, and quarterly reporting on every call, response and resolution.
Should we hire in-house IT or outsource support?
One in-house person gives you familiarity and a single point of failure: leave, illness or resignation takes your whole IT capability with it. A support contract gives you a team of specialists across ERP, payroll and cloud for less than most single salaries. Many of our clients run a hybrid — a small internal presence with our desk behind it.
What is the difference between break-fix and managed support?
Break-fix means you pay per incident after something has already failed. Managed support is a fixed monthly contract where patching, monitoring and backup verification happen continuously — so most incidents are prevented rather than repaired, and the ones that do occur hit a team that already knows your environment.
