Compare another providerWHAT COULD CHANGE YOUR DECISION
Start with your priorities.
Separate maintaining your systems from building a new workflow.
A2Z lists automation and local AI work alongside managed IT. Those projects answer a different question from who helps employees when a computer stops working. Ask for separate scope, acceptance criteria and ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
IT MGMT also builds custom websites, apps and business workflows. For a lead follow-up project, identify what information enters the system, where it is stored and who notices when an integration fails. A demonstration should use your intended process without exposing real customer data unnecessarily.
Include the parts of your environment that are easy to overlook.
If your office mixes Macs and Windows computers, bring the actual applications, peripherals and shared-file arrangements to the meeting. Ask each provider who supports specialist software and how that support changes after an operating-system update.
For AI work, agree on permitted data, access controls and the person who checks outputs. Local hosting is an architectural choice, not a blanket assurance that every privacy or security requirement has been satisfied.
