Local IT Support On A National Level

Written by Liam Hearne | Jun 29, 2022 8:53:55 AM

After starting entrust IT, Jeff & Matthew Dodd, the founders, quickly learned that when dealing with IT support providers, companies value that ‘local feel’ of a close-by organisation. Whilst we have grown significantly since the companies start in 2006, we have strived to keep that feeling on a national level and always treat our customers as if they're ‘just down the road’. Whilst being ‘down the road’ can’t always be the case, we pride ourselves on consistently delivering a bespoke support service that takes the time to understand your company and looks after it proactively, not reactively. 

What Do We Mean by Local Feel?

Whilst we do have multiple offices along the south coast and being physically close to one of these offices would allow us to get to you faster when implementing or repairing hardware, What we truly mean when talking about ‘local support’, is how your partnership feels and is delivered. We partner with companies far away from our offices yet we continue to deliver a personal, strategic and proactive support service that goes above and beyond the standard. Taking the time to get to know your business, its problems, goals, and plans are all important aspects of delivering a good support service.

Why Do Businesses Need IT support?

IT has ingrained itself as a crucial element to the success of a business, IT is now used for a range of critical functions. This includes everything from customer databases and billing, to sales processes, and security.  Facing this reality, successful businesses know that they need to take IT seriously. Downtime and IT issues slow down all aspects of their business, losing them time and money. That is why IT support needs to be more advanced than ever to keep up.

For many businesses IT is merely an inconvenience and put simply 'they just want it to work', attempting to deal with your IT in-house can be costly, time-consuming and stressful. That's why many businesses put this burden on an MSP like the entrust IT Group

Problems Businesses Have with Other IT Support Providers

Throughout our 15 years of supporting businesses we’ve had the chance to speak to a lot of business owners from a wide range of sectors, from retail, and design, to accountancy and schools. Every business is unique, but many of them face the same problems, which drives them to us. These problems include the following:

  • An IT support provider that does regular reporting and account management discussions. They are unaccountable and make changes without explaining the merit of them
  • An overstretched in-house IT team that cannot keep on top of all the day-to-day issues and require external assistance to ease the burden
  • A feeling that they are not getting value for money from their IT investment, perhaps there has not been a major update in several years and therefore modern technology is not being used.
  • An It support provider that doesn’t understand their business. They have no coherent long-term IT strategy and simply react to problems, rather than being proactive
