Q: What constitutes a critical emergency under a 15-minute IT SLA?
Critical emergencies include total server outages, office-wide internet loss, active ransomware threats, firewall failure, or business-wide email service interruptions.
Q: What is the difference between response time and resolution time?
Response time is how quickly an engineer acknowledges and begins actively troubleshooting your ticket. Resolution time is how long it takes to fully resolve the issue.
Q: Why do automated phone queues delay IT emergency resolution?
Automated IVR queues and non-technical call takers force users to explain issues twice, wasting critical minutes while servers or networks remain down.

Yes. Business PC Support offers 24/7/365 emergency hotline response for mission-critical client outages across Sacramento.
