Any new partners can expect to receive all of the following, guaranteed:
Understanding your business using facts
Before we can truly support a business with the level of attentiveness we desire we must first take the time to understand how your IT currently works. The purpose of a systems audit is to inform us of the hardware you have in place, how secure it is, and how efficiently it is used.
If we spot any major issues when we carry out the audit, we will inform you upfront and make recommendations for how they can be improved. However, rest assured we are not looking for issues and if we feel there are some we will show you evidence to justify our reasoning.
24/7 Remote Support
If you are looking for complete peace of mind our engineers are available 24/7 to support your staff. Wherever they are in the world, your staff can call in and gain access to a friendly UK-based of qualified engineers. Using state-of-the-art remote monitoring and access tools, we can connect to your computers remotely and diagnose and resolve issues over the phone.
Two Personal Account Managers
Another unique side to our support contracts is that we would provide you with two account managers. your Account manager is the direct connection between you and us. They handle billing queries, and operational questions and help you to plan for the future. Your technical Account Manager is your key contract for technical issues. They keep on top of your technical issues and ensure that they are resolved hastily.
State-of-the-art system monitoring
We've invested heavily in our remote monitoring software. connects automate is one of the most advanced RMM platforms on the market that allows our engineers to see at a glance issue with your infrastructure that must be resolved. Automate allows our engineers to schedule software updates out of hours to ensure that you are never interrupted by the dreaded update screen during your working day.
Transparency and Accountability
We will always ensure that we are accountable to you, and can justify every decision we make and every decision we make and every change we implement. We provide regular reports that describe the work we have done for your IT environment and how beneficial that has been.
A long-term plan
We are not in this for the short haul. Our focus has always been (and will always be) about maintaining long-term relationships. Many of our customers have been with us for over 10 years, and we have adapted and grown a lot together in that time. We are privately owned and managed and do not have to answer to investors. This long-term outlook allows us to plan with you for the next five years or more, providing a roadmap that will help you to succeed long into the future, rather than just in the first year of working with us.
Working with Hundreds of different businesses each year gives us a unique insight into the current trends, needs, and concerns that business owners have regarding their IT.
