Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked before every engagement. If yours is not here, send it and we will answer it directly.
-
How do engagements work?
Zen IT Technologies works in three models. Fully managed, where we take ownership of the environment and operate as your IT function. Fractional IT architecture, where we work alongside your existing team and bring senior depth to architecture, migrations, integrations and security without adding another full-time senior role. Or a defined project, which we design, implement, document, and train your team to run. Commercial terms are discussed on the first call, once we understand the environment.
-
Do we have to change platforms to work with you?
No. Most engagements start by running what you already have properly. Where we recommend a change, it is because a specific requirement is not being met, and the reasoning is written down before anything moves.
-
Will you sign our NDA and complete our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. NDAs, service agreements, data processing agreements, security addenda, and questionnaires are a normal part of onboarding. If your vendor management process has unusual requirements, raise them on the first call. It is rarely a problem, and it is easier to confirm early than discover late.
-
Do you offer an SLA?
Yes. Ongoing support engagements include an SLA tailored to your business needs and the agreed service model. Issues are prioritized according to business impact, with critical outages and security incidents receiving the highest-priority response. The SLA defines response and communication times, while resolution times may also depend on third-party providers. For project-based work, agreed scope, milestones, and delivery timelines apply instead.
-
What kind of company is this for?
Zen IT Technologies works with companies that know their IT environment needs to improve and are ready to do something about it. You may be dealing with recurring issues, growing complexity, security or compliance requirements, or simply an environment that has not kept pace with the business.
The important part is not company size. It is whether you want someone to take ownership, understand what is not working, build a better environment, and manage it properly going forward.
For very small companies, a defined project is usually a better fit than an ongoing engagement.
-
Are you based in Israel? Do you work with companies elsewhere?
Zen IT Technologies is based in Israel and works with companies internationally. The work is remote by design. Identity, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure are managed the same way regardless of where the office is, and on-site work is arranged where a network or hardware deployment requires it.
-
We already have an IT team. Is there still a fit?
Yes. Fractional IT architecture from Zen IT Technologies can work alongside an existing IT team. It brings senior depth to the work that is expensive to hire for and rarely needed full time: complex migrations, identity architecture, security engineering, and the problems that have stayed open too long. Your team keeps ownership of the environment.
-
Do you replace our IT provider, or work alongside one?
Either. Where a help desk already works well, Zen IT Technologies takes the architecture and security layer and leaves desk-side support in place. Where there is no provider, we cover the whole function. What we do not do is duplicate a working help desk.
-
What happens to our environment if we stop working with you?
There is a defined handover rather than a scramble. Zen IT Technologies transfers administrative access to named owners on your side, licenses and vendor relationships are reassigned rather than canceled, documentation and runbooks are walked through with whoever is taking over rather than emailed, and we stay reachable afterwards for the questions that only surface once someone is actually running it. Nothing is held back if you decide to move on.
Still have a question?
A 30-minute call with Jonny is usually the quickest way to work out whether we're the right fit.
