Support tiers
Choose your cover
Two core service levels cover most business requirements.

Two core tiers: Remote (office hours helpdesk, proactive monitoring, patch management, anti-virus, contracted SLAs) and 24/7 Remote (all of the above plus around-the-clock cover including out-of-hours and bank holidays). On-site attendance is not included in either tier — it is available as an add-on, priced per incident. Requirements are assessed at the point of need and a date agreed directly with Akbar.
