What is an IT AMC?
An IT AMC is a fixed-price agreement covering helpdesk, monitoring, on-site visits and preventative maintenance for a year — how Dubai SMEs buy managed IT.
Quick answer
An IT AMC is a yearly (or monthly-billed yearly) contract that bundles remote support, on-site engineers, patching, antivirus and monitoring into one predictable fee. In the UAE this is how most SMEs replace ad-hoc break-fix vendors.

What a good AMC includes
Look for 24/7 monitoring, named engineers, patch windows, backup tests, on-site hours and a written SLA. Avoid contracts that are just “unlimited remote” with no on-site or security.
