Computer Maintenance - Can You Afford To Offer A Fixed Price?

Computer maintenance contracts are one area of your business where you may want to consider using a price-fixed model. Time and materials pricing is almost always going to be better for you, but many clients respond well to fixed price computer maintenance contracts. So, if you insist on doing a price-fixed computer maintenance agreement, there are some items you must make sure you cover off. You want to protect yourself as much as possible and the only way to do that is to write up a good and tight computer maintenance agreement. If you don t have tight provisions, the well-intentioned and even well-trained internal computer guru the guy you set up as the go-to guy in your absence will make mistakes.

The term cancer actually describes a vast number of different conditions, all resulting from the same basic problem: there is a malfunction with the instructions held within the DNA of a cell. The natural process of life ensures that a large portion of our cells are replaced as they wear out. According to many estimates, ninety-nine percent of our cells are different today than they were last year. Many of these cells are simply duplications of previous cells, which are constantly dividing. This duplication is what allows us to live as long as we do, as damaged and worn out cells are replaced with new and healthy cells.
