The practical answer
Look for a provider that understands the actual platform, states what is monitored and updated, protects domain and data ownership, explains response limits and can demonstrate a controlled remote support process.

Tools and platforms should follow the requirement. They should not become the requirement.
01
Local relevance is not an address claim
The useful question is whether the provider understands the customer, service market and communication needs. PixelarIQ works online and does not claim a Yorkshire office or visit customers.
