As such, we provide support via email and 100% of the time we respond in 24 hours or less (typically much less). We have received many, many complements over the years about how much people are pleasantly surprised that we actually follow through on our support promises. “Alongside this, we also know how important it is that our services are up and running when our customers need them. We make our uptime publicly available on our website, and it is currently 99.9%. Unlike other companies, we do not use tricks, such as excluding scheduled maintenance, to make our numbers look better, and this transparency and exceptional service both impresses and benefits our clients.” Moving forward, Wayne believes that devZing will continue to flourish thanks to its focus on adapting around the latest market developments to provide clients with cutting-edge support, as he is proud to conclude. “Ultimately, continuous learning is the only approach to keeping up in the technology field.
