The Complete Guide

Evaluating IT companies requires going beyond the sales pitch. SpaceTown IT recommends a structured evaluation process: Step 1 — Request three industry-relevant references and call them. Step 2 — Ask for a copy of their standard SLA and have your attorney review auto-renewal and exit clauses. Step 3 — Request a list of their 10 most common response time SLA metrics from the past quarter. Step 4 — Ask about their Houston engineer headcount and on-site response capability. Step 5 — Request a sample monthly reporting package to understand what visibility you will receive. Step 6 — Understand their security stack — do they use the tools they recommend to clients? SpaceTown IT welcomes any and all evaluation scrutiny.
