System Management and User Support Contracts for Workstations

     Windows Workstation: Contract description
     Unix Workstation:  Contract description

This contract covers one user and one machine, running a supported version of Windows, MacOS, or Unix. It includes assistance with purchase, installation (software and hardware), arranging for network connection, and integration into EECS computing infrastructure. Supported PC applications include: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Firefox, Thunderbird, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Exceed, Symantec Endpoint Protection, PuttySSH, Oracle Calendar.

      Charge: $900/year billed yearly when the contract begins.

System Management and User Support Contracts for Servers

This contract covers all of the above, plus support for a variety of network services, such as a web server, mail server, and file sharing. These machines are also monitored more closely using automated monitoring tools which notify us by email and pager when critical services are down or otherwise impacted. Server machines receive the highest priority of service.

      Charge: $2700/year billed yearly when the contract begins.

System Management Contracts for Network Printers

This contract covers installation and setup of a printer on the network (rather than attached directly to a PC); network protocols are tuned to comply with campus policy; a central printspool is made available on print.eecs; and the printer is monitored to ensure it remains online.

      Charge: $150/year billed yearly when the contract begins.

Time and Materials Service

Both hardware and software support are available on a "time and materials" basis. This means you will be charged an hourly rate plus any materials fees. To request help, please fill out our job-request form.

Note that our emphasis is on contract services. Jobs submitted on a time-and-materials basis have the lowest priority and will only be serviced when there are no outstanding requests for contract services. No guarantees are made about response time for T&M requests.

      Charge: $95.00/hr for normal requests (billed in 30 minute increments, 30 minutes minimum), plus cost of materials, billed monthly.
