Managed IT Support

Your day-to-day IT, handled properly.

We keep every device patched, monitored, and supported, so your team stays productive and you stop firefighting. Our foundational service, and the base every other service builds on.

What's Included

The four pillars of day-to-day support

Everything a business needs to keep running smoothly, covered by one team and one agreement.

Helpdesk & User Support

Fast, friendly support for the everyday stuff: a laptop that won’t connect, a printer that won’t print, an app that won’t open. Real engineers, not a script.

Device Monitoring

Every laptop, desktop, and server watched around the clock, so we catch a failing disk or a stalled backup before it becomes downtime.

Patch Management

Operating systems and applications kept up to date automatically, closing security gaps without your team having to think about it.

Onboarding & Offboarding

New starters ready to work on day one; leavers’ access removed the same day. No loose ends, no orphaned accounts.

Day-To-Day Coverage

What's included, in full

  • Unlimited remote and on-site support for your whole team
  • Proactive monitoring across every device, not just reactive fixes
  • Automated patching for Windows, macOS, and common business apps
  • New starter and leaver processes handled end to end
  • Asset tracking, so you always know what hardware you own and where it is
  • Plain-English monthly reporting, not a wall of jargon

Support Arrangements

Hours, response times, and what "24/7" actually means

No blurring standard helpdesk hours with round-the-clock security monitoring. Here's exactly what you get and when.

Standard support hoursMonday–Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm
How to reach the helpdeskEmail support (primary channel for all requests)
Standard ticket response targetWithin 4 business hours
Critical security incident acknowledgementWithin 5 minutes, 24/7, via on-call engineer
Onsite supportAvailable, charged separately from your support agreement
Outside standard support hoursCritical security monitoring and incident response continue 24/7; non-urgent helpdesk tickets are picked up the next business day
What "24/7" coversContinuous automated monitoring of your systems, backed by a human engineer on call overnight for genuine critical security incidents, not full out-of-hours helpdesk cover

These are our standard service targets. Where a client agreement sets out specific contractual response times, those terms take precedence.

Getting Started

How onboarding works

A structured handover so nothing gets missed before your team goes live on support.

1
Initial discovery
We learn about your business, team size, and current setup before anything else.
2
Infrastructure assessment
A full review of your devices, network, and Microsoft 365 environment.
3
Access and documentation collection
Gathering the logins, licences, and details we need to support you properly.
4
Security review
Checking for immediate risks so nothing urgent is left unresolved before go-live.
5
Device and user onboarding
Every device and user enrolled into our monitoring, patching, and helpdesk.
6
Backup verification
Confirming your backups exist, run on schedule, and can actually be restored.
7
Support launch
Your team can start raising tickets and calling the helpdesk from this point.
8
Monthly reporting and reviews
Ongoing reporting and periodic check-ins once you’re live, not a one-off handover.
