Managed Services

Ideal IT from the ideal IT service provider

It used to be the case that IT users would wait until something went wrong, then call up the support company and get the engineers out to fix it. And that could be very costly – both in terms of pricing and damage. There are countless things that can go wrong with a network that aren't immediately obvious, but that left unattended, could cause irreparable damage.

In an ideal world IT management would be as simple as possible and would work straight out of the box. But infrastructures have become more and more complex, and maintaining them has become much more complicated, as well as costly and time-consuming. These days many businesses find themselves running to keep up when it comes to IT, instead of benefiting from their infrastructure. For most business owner or manager, the IT is something of a necessary evil. You've got to have it, someone else deals with it, and it doesn't have any real impact on the business... until it goes wrong.

Thanks to Computrad's managed services, that's avoidable.

Avoid the critical issues

Ultimately, the people on the front line – the banker, the sales assistant, the doctor, the soldier – don't know if the network needs a patch update. They only notice when it's not working. They don't know how to add new team members to the roster or add a new virtual desktop. And nor should they. Even if they are interested in IT, there are other more immediate, higher-priority things they should be doing... and if you've got IT staff, chances are they're working to tight deadlines on multiple projects, rather than maintaing your firewall's integrity and adding the odd patch update.

And this is where we come in. No matter what size your business, these problems can quickly become critical issues, costing you both time and money. No business wants extra overheads, but the evidence speaks for itself: it's cheaper to budget for managed services and let someone else look after everything than to pay for something you'll only use once in a while with internal overheads.

Computrad’s managed services mean you maximise the benefits of your IT service solutions while reducing your expenditure. You can select the services you want, whether it’s a managed dedicated server, managed hosting or temporary contract staff, we can provide it.

Our customers are secure in the knowledge that they’re getting the best and most cost-effective service thanks to:

  • Our tailored services – we adapt our services to fit your needs. Whether your needs are big or small we can manage them for you, and if they change – even it’s just for a few weeks – just choose a different level of service.
  • Our expert IT engineers – our staff are dedicated, knowledgable and qualified

With managed services you're less likely to encounter the problem to begin with. Our IT professionals spot potential problems on the horizon and prevent them from happening, ensuring your network provides the smoothest service possible.

How will managed services benefit my business?

Managed services mean you no longer to spend time on routine IT maintenance tasks – and, with dedicated networking professionals running your network, it'll run more reliably and more efficiently.

Sadly, many companies charge non-IT staff with everyday IT tasks – a risk that can result in lost data, poorly-maintained hardware, staff installing their own software on company computers, and countless other problems.

At its most basic, managed services encompass monitoring and patch deployment, but with Computrad, you can tailor your managed services contract to your specifications, whether it's just the basics, a fully-outsourced IT department or something in between.

What does 'fully-managed service' actually mean?

With fully managed services, you pay a fixed, per-month fee. In return, Computrad will oversee every facet of your IT, ensuring your network runs at its smoothest and dealing with any issues, whether hardware or software. Taking out a fully managed service relieves you of the burden of running your network; and you'll know that no matter what happens, you won't have to spend any more if anything does go wrong.

Our fully managed service covers:

  • Monitoring and auditing
  • Patch deployment and maintenance
  • Helpdesk ticketing and fault reporting system
  • Service Level Agreements
  • Access portal
  • Monthly health and activity reports
  • Temporary replacement equipment while your current machines are being repaired
  • Managed in house backups
  • Unlimited help desk support
  • Unlimited remote
  • Unlimited on-site support for problems that can't be resolved remotely
  • 25% discount on standard-rate projects
  • Quick recovery from PC and server failures
  • Reduced time getting users back online after server incidents, and
  • Regular management and advice meetings.

What don't we cover?

We can tailor our service packages to suit your needs – whether they're large or small. If, however, you choose a fully managed network, almost any problems will be covered. The following areas incur an extra cost (25% less than the standard rate, thanks to your fully managed service agreement).

  • Installations of new equipment and software
  • Hardware and software upgrades
  • Hardware damage caused by misuse
  • Malicious hardware damage
  • Equipment replacement following loss or theft
  • Replacement parts following general wear and tear
  • Replacement parts following damage
  • Consumables, such as backup tapes and toner for printers

Free pre-agreement IT survey

For the majority of customers we'll need to carry out a free IT survey before we can offer contracted services. Once we've completed our survey, we'll provide you with a report detailing our findings and any work needed to get the system to a suitable level, along with a quote for the work needed.

How much does it cost?

There are two managed service packages, standard and premium. The standard service provides all of the benefits of the fully managed service with unlimited remote support, while the premium service also includes unlimited on-site support.
