9 Communication and Policies Users will be able to submit issues to or call our Help Desk at (608) All support will be provided remotely through Envision IT s monitoring software or other Envision IT provided solution unless it must be addressed onsite. In the event that onsite support is necessary, standard trip charge fees apply but all services will be covered as defined in this agreement. If the Client opts to ship any hardware to Envision IT for service rather than incurring a trip charge, the Client will be responsible for shipping charges. Envision IT Consultants are available at all times between 7am-5pm Monday-Friday, excluding Envision IT holidays. As part of the Agreement, if a call comes in during business hours for a business-critical function and the engineer cannot finish the project before 5pm, the engineer will continue working until the issue is resolved or until additional parts or information are needed. Issues will be addressed within 8 business hours for requests covered under this agreement. Any requests that come in after hours will be addressed the next business day. Envision IT offers after hours support for evenings, weekends and holidays for an additional charge. Emergency support is available upon request. Emergency requests will be subject to $300 for the first hour, and applicable off-hours rates thereafter. Hardware and Software Requirements Devices to-be-covered must be 5 years old or less from date of manufacture and in working order to be put under managed services. All workstations must have approved anti-virus software installed and enabled on them. The servers must be on a properly sized, working UPS. The UPS must power the server for at least 15 minutes. Hardware and Software Warranty Policy Any hardware/software products which are purchased by the Client will be charged separately from this contract. Envision IT is not responsible for any hardware failure. Any hardware warranties are between the Client and the Manufacturer. If the hardware is under warranty and fails, Envision IT will call the manufacturer to acquire the replacement part and provide the necessary service for replacement of part, as well as re-installation of operating system and software applications. Replacing hardware parts such as hard drives, power supplies and processors before they fail, results in less user down time, little or no loss of data and fewer service hours. If Envision IT s monitoring software detects that a piece of hardware is close to failure and not under warranty, the Client will be notified that a component or entire server needs to be replaced. The Client will have 7 days from the date of that notification to order the required hardware. If the Client does not place the order within 7 days and the hardware fails, the service time to replace the hardware, re-install the operating system and software applications will not be covered under the managed services agreement and will be billed at time and materials. 9

10 Reporting and Documentation All Help Desk calls will be processed through ConnectWise, ENVISION IT s ticket management software. This will enable Envision IT to manage and fulfill all requests.
