Welcome to
 
 


[contactfirstname],

We are very excited to welcome you to our Preferred Care family!

Preferred Care allows you to start to worry about YOUR business and not the technology systems as we just became your trusted advisor and internal IT department. Yes, we even work while your on vacation, something hopefully you will be able to take now.

This is the first of many communications that we will bring to you during the course of our on-boarding your company into our Preferred Care system.  If at any time you have a question, please feel free to email or call us.

It takes us approximately two weeks to fully accomplish the on-boarding process.  Here is a sample list of what will be happening during these two weeks.

- Validating company information for our CRM system
- Installing monitoring agents on your technology systems
- Validating time slots for maintenance
- Setup of support portal for you and your staff members
- Education of new help desk procedures to you and your staff
- Installing email spam filtering
(If applicable)
- and more!

One of the first things that changes for you is access to a priority email address for creating help desk requests.  This email address is reserved only for Preferred Care clients.  Please do not share this with anyone outside of your company.

HELP@PREFERREDITGROUP.COM

Don't worry if you forget, as this is part of our education series that we will be presenting to your staff members during the on-boarding process.

Getting the most from our Help Desk:

1. Please resist the temptation to contact our support engineers directly for support. All of our systems and processes are designed to allow our entire team to respond when you need help. If you call or email one of us directly there’s no telling what might happen!  Our staff members are also not allowed to give out cell phone numbers, our phone system is designed to handle this.

2. Use descriptive titles for your request in the summary field (when using the client portal) or in the subject line (when emailing the helpdesk). This helps us better manage and prioritize your support requests. Here are a couple examples of good support request titles:

  · Unable to Print
  · Need assistance installing a QuickBooks update

3.
Avoid creating multiple requests for the same issue.  Each time you send a new message to help@preferreditgroup.com, a request is opened in our support system.  To update or add information for a current trouble ticket, simply reply to the original email that our system sent you.

4.
Take a moment to let us know how we're doing. When a trouble ticket is closed, you will receive a closing email advising of what we did to resolve your help request.  This email will also include a link to a very short survey.  Please take a moment to complete this as your feedback is very helpful to us as we continually look for ways to improve the services we provide you.

We're looking forward to working together!
