Simple and clear
We know you're busy, so we get straight to the point when we send you Trusted Advisor advice emails. The subject field starts with one of the following:
1. Service information
Means a value-creating subject which is not critical to your business
2. Important information
Means an important topic that you should be aware of
3. Security information
Means a security topic that is important for your IT security
In special cases where security threats or manufacturer changes may have consequences for your business, we allow ourselves to send our advisory email with high priority. If it also says 'ACTION NEEDED' at the end of the subject field, it is extra important that you relate to the content.
How our advisory are structured
Our advice emails have a simple and uniform structure, so it is easy to understand from time to time:
- Introduction – describes what is it about briefly and precisely
- Challenge – describes challenges with the subject and if any, what consequences it may have
- Recommendation – describes our and/or the manufacturer's recommendations for the subject
- Do you need help - describes how to order our help for the task and a time estimate for the task
