Managed IT Support & Consultancy In London

IT Support Services for Decision Makers

IT support services and consultancy  is the backbone and largest part of our business. Because of this, our senior staff and directors are able to draw on years of experience to provide the highest-level strategic advice. This hands-on knowledge, gained working at small and large companies across the capital, means we can offer independent, unbiased guidance on where your investment in IT systems will yield the highest return.

As a consequence, are able to help set budgets as well as the medium, and long term direction your IT strategy will take. Additionally, outsourced IT as a managed service,  can remove painful HR issues and provide peace of mind

IT Backup Services

For us, backup is The Most Important Thing – the foundation stone on which IT strategy is built. Our clients sometimes have 12 year data retention clauses from their insurers so being sure they can recover that data is vital. Copying data to USB hard drives is not a viable option.

Dealing with disaster

What would your business do if the worst were to happen? CryptoLocker, fire, flood or theft could leave you unable to work for days. We will work with you to evaluate the risks and formulate an appropriate response. We can deliver solutions from full server and data mirrors to SAN replication.
