SHORT ANSWER
List covered assets and systems, support hours, request channels, incident priorities and response targets. Clarify scheduled visits, updates, backup responsibilities, reporting, spare parts and excluded work. Response time does not necessarily mean resolution time.
Start with an asset list
Replace broad wording with a list of networks, servers, PBX systems, cameras and other covered systems, including location, model, condition and warranty.
Identify branches, permissions and available documentation before agreeing to coverage.
Separate prevention from incidents
Preventive maintenance is scheduled inspection intended to reduce avoidable issues. Incident support begins with a request that needs diagnosis and action.
State visit frequency, checks, reporting and when an item becomes a separate upgrade or replacement.
Understand response time
Response time describes when handling begins. Resolution can depend on diagnosis, parts, third parties and required access.
Agree severity definitions and working-hour calculations before an incident occurs.
Define boundaries and exclusions
State support hours, channels, escalation, remote and on-site conditions, and approval for out-of-scope work.
- Included or excluded equipment and parts
- Licence renewals and third-party services
- New cabling, moves and project work
- Backup and recovery responsibilities
- Change approval and required access
Request useful reports
Reports should identify requests, completed work, assets needing attention and recommendations. This record supports better renewal and upgrade decisions.
