What we do

Managed IT Services

Managed Services is the proactive management and maintenance of your IT systems and services that we support for your business. With a managed services model we will find issues and repair them before they become a problem, ideally with no or very little downtime. Why Managed IT Services? The three main reasons behind Managed IT Services are to
  • Make sure all your systems are working as they should at all times
  • Minimise any costly downtime in your business related to IT problems
  • Enabling you to budget and manage your IT costs better, giving you a much improved cash-flow as a result
Managed IT Services is a proactive approach to managing your IT infrastructure as opposed to the traditional reactive approach with Break-Fix support.  With the proactive approach including such services as preventative maintenance, we as your IT Support provider are able to predict and fix most IT problems before they potentially manifest themselves into much bigger issues.  The traditional reactive Break-Fix approach implies that your business is already experiencing downtime as a result of staff potentially not being able to carry out their work on their IT systems. This is not an ideal situation to be in especially if you work out the business cost when some or all of your staff are unable to work.
