Managed IT and support contracts
Monthly network and server support with response times written into the contract.

01
IT Support Contract
Small IT problems grow when nobody owns them. A network support contract puts that ownership in writing: which systems we look after, how quickly we respond at each priority level, and when an engineer comes on site. We agree those terms with you before anything is signed.
- We never know who to call when something breaks.
- Our IT person left and the network was never documented.
-
02
Helpdesk & User Support
An employee locked out of email since the morning, or the second-floor printer failing again, is rarely a big technical problem. It still eats working hours. Our helpdesk services log, prioritize and follow every user request until it is closed, mostly over remote sessions, with an engineer on site when the job needs one.
- Staff ask the most tech-savvy colleague for every small fix.
- Requests get lost between phone calls and chat messages.
-
03
Network & Server Monitoring
A disk that fills a few percent every week, or an internet link that drops at night, usually shows warning signs long before the outage. Network monitoring means those signs are recorded and the right person hears about them. We deploy Zabbix on your infrastructure, tune thresholds to how your systems really behave, and act on the alerts.
- Users tell us the server is down before we know it.
- The server disk filled up and nobody noticed.

IT Consulting
Buying servers, choosing between virtualization and cloud, or deciding whether to hire in-house IT are expensive calls that are hard to undo. Our IT consulting compares where your systems are today with what the business needs, and puts each option on paper with its cost and risk. The final decision stays with you, made with the full picture in front of you.
- We need a new server and do not know what specification to buy.
- We have two quotes and cannot compare them.
-
05
IT Support Pricing
Almost every enquiry starts with the same question: what does IT support cost? No figure means much before someone has seen how many servers and users you have, which hours need covering and what you expect when something breaks. This page sets out the cost factors, the contract models and the items usually billed separately, so you can read any proposal, ours included, with clear eyes.
- We cannot tell why every company quotes a different figure.
- We have three proposals and none of them cover the same things.
Choosing managed IT services and support contracts
Managed IT services put the upkeep of your network and servers under a written agreement. The contract spells out which systems are covered, the response tiers for urgent and routine issues, what is handled remotely and what needs an on-site visit, and what goes into the monthly report. Cost depends on that scope, so it is estimated after we have seen your infrastructure.
Choose an IT Support Contract when one party should be accountable for the network, servers and backups as a whole; it is usually the base the other services in this category sit on. If everyday staff issues such as email logins, printers, slow Windows machines or software installs are eating into someone's day, add Helpdesk & User Support. If you have in-house IT but nobody watches disk space, services and internet links at night or over the weekend, Network & Server Monitoring with Zabbix sends alerts before work stops. And if you want an independent view before buying servers, choosing between virtualization and cloud, or hiring IT staff, ask for IT Consulting.
Typical situations: a company without a full-time IT person, an office whose previous admin left without documentation, or a business with several branches that are each maintained differently. We often start with a support contract plus monitoring and size the helpdesk part by the number of users.
Before signing, the free Infrastructure Review helps define the contract scope around what you actually have. Projects that come up during the contract, such as Server Virtualization, Server Hardening or Hardware Supply & Upgrades, may fall within its scope or be scoped as separate projects, depending on the agreement. For major incidents like ransomware, the Emergency and Security services take over.
