12 Questions to ask your IT Support Company

At ACR support for your business is our main priority. That’s why we provide all the support you need for your ACR Systems and Hardware. But what happens to all those other areas of your business we don’t know about like email, PCs, printers, internet connection, domain management etc etc?

Having a great local IT support company who understands your business and is available when you need them is essential.

So we have put together a list below of 12 questions to ask potential new contractors – or your current one if you aren’t sure they give you the support you need.
