Outsourcing Information

Pops · Guest

A couple of years ago I went to work for a large company that has a network
with over 1100 pc's and 400 network printers. I didn't have much
experience at the time but had my A+ and Network+. I didn't know a lot but
I knew a little and I was shocked to see how badly things were being run and
maintained.

That was a few years ago. A few months ago I was promoted over the PC
Techs and Cable Pullers. The guys pulling cable waste a lot of time, and
don't keep things labeled properly and don't respond well to supervision. I
would like to contract out the cable pulling and get rid of our cable guys.

Before I go to my Boss with with this I would like to know what kind of
expense would be involved if we contracted out some our services like the
cable pulling. What are the going rates? I don't think we would sign a
contract but would probably agree to a Time and Materials arrangement.

What I would like is someone who would keep all their tools and materials on
a truck and just show up when we needed them. If anybody has a sample
agreement or something you already have in place I would appreciate the
information.

I would also like to hear your experiences of outsourcing printer repair.

Thanks
