FAQ
Questions we hear
We only call someone when something breaks.
Break-fix pays a provider when things break. A fixed fee pays LRJ to stop them breaking.
Isn't this expensive?
Compare it with a full-time IT hire once salary, benefits, tools and holiday cover are counted, and with the cost of a day without systems.
We already have an IT person.
