How to Choose the Right IT Support Company

Most IT support companies sound similar on the surface. The differences show up in the detail — what's actually included, who holds the keys to your systems, and what happens if things go wrong. Here are 20 questions worth asking any IT company you're considering, REONEX included.

1–5

Support & contract

Who you'll actually deal with, and what you're really paying for.

Who will actually support our staff?
Is onsite support available?
What response arrangements are provided?
What's included in the monthly price?
What's charged separately?
6–13

Microsoft 365 & security

This is where the biggest gaps between providers tend to hide.

Who manages Microsoft 365?
Who holds Global Administrator access?
Is Microsoft 365 independently backed up?
How are laptops monitored?
How are updates managed?
What endpoint security is used?
How is MFA configured?
How are starters and leavers handled?
14–17

Connectivity & telecoms

Often managed by separate suppliers — worth knowing who's actually responsible.

Who manages broadband?
What happens if broadband fails?
Who manages the telephone system?
Who deals with third-party suppliers?
18–20

Ownership & documentation

The questions that matter most if you ever decide to leave.

Who owns the domain?
Where is IT documentation kept?
What happens if we decide to leave?
