MIT — Managed IT services

Someone is watching it, so you don’t have to.

Monitoring, patching, backup verification and a help desk that answers — for a fixed price per user, per month. The point of managed IT is not that problems stop happening. It is that you stop being the one who notices them first.

Sound familiar?

What you sayWhat it actually is
“We only call IT when something’s already broken.”

That is break-fix, and it bills you most in the weeks you can least afford it. Managed IT moves the work forward of the fault: patch before the exploit, replace before the failure, and catch the disk that is about to die on a Tuesday instead of a Friday afternoon.

“Nobody actually knows what we own.”

No asset register, no licence list, no warranty dates. Every managed client gets a live inventory of hardware, software, licences and warranty expiry — and a three-year replacement budget built from it.

Getting started

What the first month looks like.

Assessment

We look at what you have: devices, licences, backups, security posture and the things nobody has looked at in three years. You get a written summary whether or not you sign.

Transition

Agents deployed, documentation captured, admin access secured and handed over properly. If you are leaving another provider, we manage that conversation.

Stabilise

The first thirty days are about clearing the backlog — the failing backup, the unpatched server, the four people sharing one login. Expect a busy month.

Run and review

Monthly reporting on tickets, patching and backups. Quarterly review on budget, risk and what changes next.

Find out what your IT is actually costing you.

The assessment is free, takes about ninety minutes on site, and ends with a written summary of what we found — yours to keep either way.

No obligation. We will tell you if you do not need us.
