Simple Engagement Model	DCI's easy hourly engagement model is based on no complex contracts, retainers or hidden charges. Many competitors have minimum charges or other extra charges that deceptively drive up support expenses. For remote support services, you pay only for the actual time spent working on your solution. If it only takes ten minutes to solve your problem, then you are only charged for ten minutes. For regularly scheduled on-site support work booked more than twenty-four hours in advance, you pay only for the time when our expert is actually on-site solving your problems. There is a modest $35 on-site service charge with no other travel fees or expenses billed. Just our value priced hourly fee billed to the actual time spent. For urgent same-day on-site service calls, you may have to pay for our consultant's travel time, but never an increased emergency or after-hours rate. Because DCI has a large pool of expert consultants located throughout the entire Arizona, Southern Nevada, Southern California and Colorado Area on-site service territory, an available expert is usually close by to help.
