Managed IT Services

IT that stays up, so your people can get on with their work.

Proactive monitoring, a helpdesk that answers, security that's kept current and backups that are actually tested, run by one accountable team.

Downtime and breaches rarely start with something dramatic. They start with a missed patch, an untested backup or an alert nobody saw.

When things break

Restore first. Then make sure it doesn't happen again.

Our service desk follows ITIL 4 practice: restore normal service as quickly as possible, then find and remove the underlying cause.

  1. Detect

    Monitoring raises an alert, or a user contacts the helpdesk.

  2. Prioritise

    Logged and prioritised by business impact and urgency.

  3. Restore

    Fixed, or a workaround applied, to get people working again.

  4. Root cause

    Repeat incidents are investigated and the cause removed.

  5. Report

    Monthly reporting on tickets, trends and improvements.

FAQ

Questions businesses ask before handing over IT.

Can't find what you're looking for? We're happy to talk it through.

Ask us a question
What are managed IT services?

An ongoing service where a specialist team looks after your IT for a predictable monthly fee: user support, devices, networks, servers and cloud, backups and security, with proactive monitoring rather than waiting for things to break.

Do you replace our IT team or work alongside it?

Either. Some clients hand us their IT entirely. Others keep an internal team and use us for the helpdesk, out-of-hours cover, security or cloud operations. A written responsibility matrix makes the split clear.

Which platforms do you support?

Windows and macOS devices, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, on-premises servers, and cloud environments on Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, along with common networking and security equipment.

How quickly do you respond to problems?

Each incident is prioritised by business impact and urgency. Response and resolution targets for each priority level are agreed in your service level agreement, and we report against them every month.

How do you keep us secure?

Through continuous monitoring and threat detection, regular vulnerability scanning, scheduled patching, identity and access controls, and tested backups. We can also align your controls with frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or ISO/IEC 27001.

How do you know our backups work?

We test them. Restores are tested on a regular schedule and documented, so you know data can be recovered and how long it takes.

How does onboarding work?

We start by documenting your environment, fixing urgent risks and setting up monitoring and backups. Once the basics are stable we agree an improvement plan, usually within the first few months.

How is the service priced?

Usually a fixed monthly fee based on the number of users, devices and servers and the level of cover you choose, so costs are predictable. Projects outside the agreed scope are quoted separately.
