Emergency Support

Wizard — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:06:30 +0000

At Sparcz we are fully aware of how important it is to get your business up and running as fast as possible when major outages occur and this is why we charge by the incident and not by the hour. Over the years we have watched our competition, which is supposedly looking out for your best interest, charge for hours and hours of wasted time just to make extra money. This is not a model we abide by because in our opinion we have competing interests at work here. Work longer to get paid more while the customer loses more money in downtime and pays more in billable hours to boot!

Since every case is different we will do a preliminary investigation in to the problem and take such things as documentation, backup procedures, and complexity of network in to consideration. Once we determine the cost of labour that is our final price!

Be certain that with Sparcz Business Solutions you will get the best troubleshooters producing the fastest recovery of your servers in the Lower Mainland GUARANTEED!

Call us now and save yourself time and money!
