MasterCare – The “Master Solution” for Your Business.

For years, “Break-Fix” was the only support option that was available to businesses without an in-house IT department. In this scenario, the company was responsible for the health of their computers, printers, and network. In addition to keeping orders filled, product purchased, and customers satisfied, the company’s technology engine also had to be maintained. When technology was running smoothly, it was often left alone with the hope that no catastrophe would occur. But sooner or later, a virus infection occurs, a computer won’t start, or access to critical data is lost. In these cases, efforts are made to resolve the issue using the limited knowledge of internal resources. If the problem can’t be fixed using internal expertise, then the trusted technician is called to help resolve the issue. He schedules time for a visit, looks at the issue, makes a phone call or two, and all is running smoothly again... until next time when the backup system stops working, a hard drive fails, or a computer becomes infected with a debilitating virus. For each call, the technician sends an hourly bill for the time it takes to resolve the issue. The more problems encountered, the more money the technician makes.

There are several problems with maintaining technology in this way. First and foremost, the “Break-Fix” scenario means that the health of the company’s technology environment becomes the obligation of an employee who is not adequately trained, and in many cases is not interested in taking on that additional responsibility. Any time there is a problem, this person needs to decide: Should they try to fix it? Would that exacerbate the problem? Or, should the technician be called again? The time spent taking care of technology is time that should have been spent running the business. The cost is business opportunity lost to the demands of technology.

At its inception, Master Solutions was solely a Break-Fix company. In more recent years, however, we have looked closely at the support that we provide and how we can better care for our clients. The result has been the development of the MasterCare support plan.
