Managed IT, the core of what we do

We don't do break-fix

Break-fix support waits for something to fail, then bills you to come and fix it. A managed service checks everything, every month, so things break far less often, and IT becomes a predictable cost instead of a surprise one.

Break-fix support Call someone when it breaks
  • Nobody is watching, problems are found when they stop your team
  • Downtime while you wait for a call-out, often at the worst time
  • Patches, backups and security checked only when someone remembers
  • No plan for next year, hardware dies and you panic-buy at retail

This month: R0. Next month: who knows.

Managed IT with bluecoat Looked after before it breaks
  • Monitoring catches issues early, many are fixed before you notice
  • Most problems sorted remotely, fast, by people who know your setup
  • Patches, backups and security updates handled on a schedule
  • A clear roadmap and budget for the year ahead, no panic buying

One fixed monthly fee. No surprises.

Three levels of cover

Every plan starts with a conversation about how you work.
Safe AI adoption

Adopt AI with guardrails, not guesswork

Tools like Microsoft Copilot and Claude can save your team real time. The risk is switching them on without rules or boundaries. We take you through four practical steps.

Security comes first

Before any AI tool goes live, we make sure it can only see the data it is meant to.

01

Assess

We look at how your team works, where AI can genuinely help and what data needs protecting.

02

Set the rules

A plain-English AI usage policy so everyone knows what is allowed and what stays confidential.

03

Deploy properly

Copilot and AI tools set up with the right licences, permissions and data boundaries from the start.

04

Keep it safe

Ongoing monitoring, and policy and settings updates as the tools and the rules change.
