Managed IT Support
1st line IT support services, built around your business
If you work for a mid-market company (50-5000 employees), you’ll know that keeping end-users happy is a critical component of your IT model, it takes a team of experienced professionals… and a modicum of patience.
Businesses used to have two choices – insource or outsource. However, the rigidity of these service offerings doesn’t always suit the fast-paced, ever-changing world in which mid-market companies exist.
With technology and applications playing an integral part in a mid-market businesses success, having the right IT support model in place is fundamental. You need to be able to provide a consistent service to end-users, whilst being able to flex and scale in order to compete – often resulting in a more complex IT support model.
Services to suit all your requirements
Our first line support services are designed for companies just like yours, with flexibility around how, when and where you need us. We can add capacity to your existing service desk or manage the whole lot for you. It entirely depends on your requirements.
