Managed IT

Your entire IT function, owned by us.

Infrastructure, support, telecoms and the systems your business runs on — taken on completely, with senior IT leadership setting the direction rather than just keeping the lights on.

The problem

Break-fix keeps you running. It doesn't move you forward.

A support contract is measured on tickets closed. That's a useful thing to measure, but it means nobody is accountable for the questions that decide what your IT costs and whether it still fits.

Costs nobody reviews

Licences renewing for tools half the team stopped using. Hosting sized for the business you were three years ago.

Decisions nobody owns

Should we build this or buy it? Do we still need that system? Nobody's job is to ask.

Risk nobody has tested

Backups that run but have never been restored. Leavers whose accounts are still live.

Suppliers nobody manages

IT here, phones there, point of sale somewhere else — and three people blaming each other.

What's included

Everything, not everything except.

  • Day-to-day support for your staff, on the systems they actually use.
  • Infrastructure and networks — servers, hardware, connectivity, the lot.
  • Microsoft 365 and cloud management, including licensing review.
  • Security — the controls that matter, plus Cyber Essentials if you need certification.
  • Telecoms and line-of-business systems, including point of sale where relevant.
  • Supplier management — we deal with your other vendors so you don't.
  • IT strategy and cost review — included, not sold separately.
The difference

One supplier, one number to call, whatever's broken.

Most SMEs run three or four separate IT relationships and spend real time working out whose problem something is. We take the whole estate, which means the answer is always the same: ours.

Switching

Changing IT provider is less painful than staying with the wrong one.

The reason most businesses don't switch isn't loyalty. It's the assumption that the transition will be a nightmare. It's a process we've run before.

1. Review

We look at what you have, what you're paying for, and what's actually working. You get the findings whether or not you go further.

2. Transition

We take over the estate, document what was never documented, and pick up the support desk. Your team keeps working.

3. Stabilise

Fix what's fragile, close the security gaps, retire what you're paying for and not using.

4. Improve

Now the strategic work starts — the things nobody had time to think about before.

Questions

Common questions

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. Some clients start with a single area — Microsoft 365, or security — and expand once they've seen how we work. Others hand over the whole estate from the start. Both are fine.

What size of business do you work with?

Small and medium businesses across the UK. The common factor isn't headcount, it's that IT matters enough to need real ownership but not enough to justify a full-time IT director.

How is this priced?

It depends entirely on what you run and what you need us to own, so we scope it properly rather than quoting a per-user number that turns out not to cover what you assumed. The scoping call is free and there's no obligation.

What if we already have an IT provider?

Most of our clients did. We handle the transition, including getting documentation and access from the outgoing supplier.

Are you tied to particular vendors?

No. We're not reselling anyone's stack, which is why we're able to tell you to stop paying for things.

Is your IT actually working for you?

If nobody in your business owns that question, a half-hour conversation is worth having. No obligation, and no pitch if we're not the right fit.
