Managed IT

The IT department you'd build if you had time to build one.

Support your people will actually use, an estate that's patched and backed up, and someone holding the plan.

What's included

Monitoring, patching and reporting Network and connectivity Data and backup Identity and access Devices Your people
Every layer depends on the ones inside it, which is why we manage the estate as one thing rather than as a queue of unrelated tickets. The outer band is the part most organisations skip — and the part that stops the others quietly decaying.

Everyday support

Email, phone and portal, for anything from a stuck printer to a failing laptop. Unlimited.

Devices

Purchasing, imaging, enrolment, warranty, replacement planning and secure disposal.

Microsoft 365

Licensing reviewed so you stop paying for unused seats, plus day-to-day administration.

Patching and updates

A documented monthly cycle, with exceptions flagged rather than quietly skipped.

Backup and recovery

Monitored daily, with scheduled restore tests — so you know recovery works.

Network and connectivity

Firewalls, Wi-Fi, VPN and remote access, configured properly and documented.

Joiners, movers, leavers

New starters ready on day one, leavers' access removed the same day.

Supplier management

We chase your connectivity, telephony and software vendors, so your team doesn't.

Reporting and roadmap

A monthly report in plain English, and a quarterly session on what's coming.

Response targets

What we commit to, and what we don't.

Plenty of providers advertise 24/7; few mean it at this size. We'd rather publish targets we hit.

The first month

What changes, and when.

i

Week one

Support goes live. We document what exists — accounts, licences, devices, suppliers — because most estates this size have no current record.

ii

Week two

Quick wins: MFA gaps closed, unpatched machines brought up to date, backups verified with an actual restore, dormant accounts removed.

iii

Weeks three and four

Transition from your previous provider completes. You get the findings report and a prioritised roadmap with costs.

iv

From month two

Steady state: monthly patching and reporting, roadmap items worked through in agreed order, quarterly review in the diary.

Common questions

We already have someone who does our IT. Does this replace them?

Usually it supports them. We take the routine load — patching, monitoring, backups, first-line support — so your internal person can do the work only they can do. An ad-hoc contractor we'd typically replace, and we'll manage the handover.

We're mid-contract with our current provider.

That's normal. Tell us the notice period and we'll plan around it, so the switch happens the week your contract ends rather than three months later.

Do you need to be on site?

Most work is remote. We're on site for onboarding, hardware, office moves and reviews. London and the South East are straightforward; elsewhere we agree visits in advance.

What if we grow past 100 people?

Then you've probably reached the point of hiring internally. We'd help you scope the role and hand over cleanly. Growing out of us is a good outcome, not a problem.
