Your IT support should fit your business needs and future growth plans. Service, delivery and what's included in your outsourced IT varies greatly from one IT company to another, so it's important to find a service that will suit your IT needs.

Our managed service includes everything a small or medium-sized business needs to make technology a competitive advantage. This is our business philosophy. Our IT support service package has the tools and services needed for an SME to work smoothly, securely and prosper.
Over the past 20 years, we have worked closely with our SME client base to hone a fixed package. It is balanced; comprehensive yet affordable, and also specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses.
We proactively account manage and you will be allocated a virtual IT manager; to advise on technology, answer your questions and look at ways to improve your IT. Guiding you through the best tools and informing you of technology developments, Superfast’s IT experts are experienced, fully qualified, and undergo ongoing training.
Visit our cybersecurity for SMEs guide to understand the measures a small business should take to be secure. The article covers everything included in our package including anti-malware software, firewalls, keeping systems up to date and removing unnecessary users.
Microsoft 365 data is also covered. If your inbox/cloud files were accidentally deleted, they could be recovered. If an email was purposely deleted, again, it can be easily retrieved.

On top of this, we have an enhanced security option that can be added to provide even higher levels of security for companies with additional security requirements. We would advise having this package if you handle large quantities of sensitive data or if your industry is under high threat.
For example, if you are a well-known brand, if your business supplies to the Ministry of Defence, to protect your intellectual property (IP). The utility and education industries have also been targeted by cybercriminals during the Coronavirus pandemic too. It has also been found that businesses incorporating IoT are also more vulnerable. It also includes certification against the Cyber Essentials standard.
Major upgrades and system improvements are out of scope of our IT support service. We would discuss and quote for these projects separately. A major upgrade could include a new server; installation, data migration and support to get the business’ IT systems up and running. System improvements may include purchasing new PCs, replacing network equipment or installing new networks and will incur an additional cost. Visit our blog what's not included in IT Support for more information about our project work.
We would always consult for anything not included, providing you with a list of options and our recommendation, weighing up cost benefits.
The level of IT support service (and corresponding price) will differ vastly from one IT provider to another. The IT industry offers various solutions, our pricing guide for IT support is helpful to understanding the options found within the wider IT industry; from one-man bands to multi-national corporates.
Whichever IT business you select, we would highly recommend that you get to know 2 or 3 IT businesses really well. Understand their culture and people as well as their service/package. Having the right fit of supplier for your organisation will have the best long-term outcome for both businesses.
