Our Premier Service Offer
System downtime, viruses, spyware, degraded system performance, losses of productivity… Are the computer systems you rely upon to run your business not working consistently and as expected? These distractions are unnecessary, time-consuming, and very expensive to all businesses.
The majority of computer downtime or onsite service requirements can be avoided by performing preventative maintenance. Previously these services have required a physical network administrator or tech to sit and perform them manually, requiring a great deal of billable onsite time or usually skipped altogether and commonly the culprits in your major issues. We are able to perform virtually all of these tasks remotely.
Our focus is to keep your IT systems operational, available and secure so that you can focus on the everyday demands of expanding your business, managing costs, and increasing revenues. We’re here to help you realize the productivity gains and return on investment you have been expecting from your computer systems all along.
Our Total Managed Services “TMS” provides affordable proactive IT management and support to growing businesses. Utilizing our unique IT automation framework for providing managed services, Your Way Computer Tech Team provides a range of proactive services to keep your computer systems up and running and your people and business productive.

How Secure is this solution? (All Levels of Service)
TMS Agent
The TMS agent platform architecture is central to providing maximum security. Each computer managed has a small agent installed. The agent initiates all communications back to the server. Since the agent will not accept any inbound connections, it is impossible for a third party application to attack the agent from the network.
Firewalls
TMS agent does not need any input ports opened on client machines. This lets the agent do its job in any network configuration without introducing susceptibility to inbound port probes or new network attacks.
Encryption
TMS agent protects against man in the middle attacks by encrypting all communications between the agent and server with 256-bit RC4 using a key that rolls every time the server tasks the agent, typically at least once per day .Since there are no plain text data packets passing over the network, there is nothing available for an attacker to exploit.
Secure Remote Access
Administrators access the TMS server through a Web interface after a secure logon process. The system never sends passwords over the network and never stores them in the database. Only the administrator knows his or her password. The client side combines the password with a random challenge, issued by the TMS server for each session, and hashes it with SHA-1. The server side tests this result to grant access or not. The unique random challenge protects against a man in the middle attack sniffing the network, capturing the random bits, and using them later to access the TMS server.
Scheduled Maintenance Windows
Your Way Computer Tech Team will regularly install patches and critical updates to your server to help ensure that you are guarded against the latest vulnerability threats. For many of these updates to be installed properly your server must be restarted. Your Way Computer Tech Team will restart your servers, as necessary, between our regular maintenance window of 11PM and 4AM Sunday through Saturday. If the expected downtime is greater than 15 minutes then Your Way Computer Tech Team’s Managed Services staff will contact you to inform you of the outage. You reserve the right to request that Your Way Computer Tech Team reschedule the outage to align with your business needs.
Contract and Billing
All managed services contracts are an annual contract obligation and billed monthly. Our TMS package renews automatically on the contract date anniversary unless canceled in writing. The terms are Net 30. Other requested services incurred or requested during this plan will be billed at their regular rates:

Other Packages & Alternative Services
On-Site Rapid Response / After Hours Service – If you have a support contract with us we always make you a priority and we will always work with you to accomplish work during our normal business hours but if you need us after hours or for Emergency Response (You say you need us NOW!) we only provide these services if you’re one of our Total Managed Services “TMS” clients.
Pre-Paid Blocks of Time – Alternatively if you prefer to not be on our TMS but need to have a company you can count on you may want a prepaid package contract or Block of Service Agreement. So we do offer – Legacy service agreements billed in blocks of 50 hours with a minimum of 5 hours’ time charged against this package per month. This plan does not include our TMS automated services and is billed in advance for each month. This provides a nice discount for companies that prefer a PREPAID BLOCK OF SERVICE, and you will still be part of our team and get the benefits that it includes.
Emergency Response Retainer – For those of you that almost never need technical assistance but Peace of Mind is something you have learned has extreme value we offer a simple “Retainer Agreement”
For $200 per month, your Emergency will get a same-day response. This means if you need us you will have a Tech at your location the same business day you call us. This is ONLY available to our TMS clients and you will still be responsible for paying our discounted hourly fees but if that disaster ever strikes you will have access to our team without worry. We offer a very limited amount of these packages.
