IMA Care Packages
In addition to our standard support services, we also offer system administration, quality control and education services customized for our clients. These are of particular interest to organizations that do not have their own Information Services Department and to organizations whose Information Services Department is overloaded and needs to outsource some of its work.
These services may be purchased, as needed, at our custom service rates, available both on your site and ours, or by subscribing to one of our IMA Care Packages that entitle a client to two, four or six days of such services per year, on a pre-paid and discounted basis.
Here is a sampling of services that are typically needed and are available from IMA. We can also customize packages for your unique needs.
