Whatever the size of your company and whatever your role, outsourcing your IT can be of great benefit. Let us manage your IT environment so you can reclaim valuable time.

The Office Manager

If you’re the Office Manager in charge of IT, outsourcing can remove the technical headaches you face on a daily basis.

With a dedicated helpdesk to manage all of your colleagues’ incidents and requests, a skilled technical team to handle your IT procurement and asset management, and experienced engineers to take the pain away from leaver and starter processes, outsourcing your IT will give you more time back to focus on the important tasks.

The Senior Partner

For the Senior Partner in charge of IT, outsourcing to a strong, capable partner will help you and your business succeed. As part of our IT consultancy services, we provide regular roadmap meetings with your dedicated Technical Account Manager, which will help you prioritise what to tackle next and help you stick to your budget.

Outsourcing your IT to a good partner is a quicker and easier way to understand what’s important for your business. We have your best interests at heart, and your success is our success.

The Owner

If you’re the Owner and trying to juggle IT at the same time as your other responsibilities, outsourcing your IT is a smart decision, as it’s a multi-faceted area that needs time and attention. It should not be rushed or tacked on as an afterthought. A full-time IT technician can work for some companies, but it’s hard for them to go it alone – they would be in charge of training, asset management, documentation – and what happens when they go on holiday?

Outsourcing your IT to a strong London-based MSP to act as your fully-fledged IT department, or to help an existing internal IT team, will remove your snares and work as a catalyst for your business growth.

Outsourced IT FAQs

What is IT outsourcing?

IT outsourcing means using an external provider, often known as a Managed Service Provider (MSP), to effectively manage your IT on behalf of you. This often includes processes like managing your cyber security, monitoring your infrastructure, patching your systems to keep them up to date and resolving any issues that occur.

Which IT services should be outsourced?

Businesses without an internal IT department or individual in charge of IT often outsource all or most of their IT to a capable MSP with the experience and expertise to properly manage and improve it. This typically relates to tasks or processes like cyber security, help desk support, cloud services, software support, IT procurement, infrastructure management and more.

What are the advantages of outsourcing IT services?

For small to medium-sized businesses, outsourcing your IT services to an MSP often means a significant cost saving from reduced staffing and infrastructure requirements. Outsourcing your IT also provides access to a swathe of specialised expertise, leading technology, flexibility and scalability. It also means you can focus on your business whilst somebody else takes care of your IT. You also have somebody that holds you to account and is constantly monitoring your environment, leading to improved security and efficiency.

Is it cheaper to outsource IT services?

It tends to be cheaper to outsource IT services for small to medium-sized businesses as well as giving you access to a wider skillset. Larger enterprises may see a cost saving from having an internal dedicated team, focused solely on your business, but may still need support from external experts from time-to-time.

What are the strategic advantages of outsourcing our IT compared to hiring our own internal staff?

Outsourcing your IT gives you access to a broader range of expertise, greater operational resilience and more predictable costs, without the overhead of building and maintaining a large internal team. More specifically:

  • Access to a wider skill set: a managed IT team brings together specialists across infrastructure, security, cloud, compliance and more. Replicating that depth internally would require multiple hires.
  • Cost efficiency: a flat monthly fee is far easier to plan around than the combined cost of salaries, benefits, training and cover for an internal team.
  • Scalability: as your business grows, your IT support scales with it, without the lead time of recruitment.
  • Resilience: if an internal IT person is off sick or leaves, your support does not disappear. With us, there is always someone available.
  • Up-to-date knowledge: staying current with the technology landscape is our job, so you do not have to worry about your team falling behind.
  • Stronger security posture: you benefit from dedicated security expertise and tooling that would be expensive to deploy independently.
  • Freedom to focus: your internal teams can focus on what they do best, with IT handled by people who do it as their core business.
Will we lose control over our data and infrastructure if we hand it over to a third-party provider?

No. Your data and your infrastructure remain yours. We help you structure, secure and manage them well, but control always stays with you. If you want something specific done, it is your call. The one exception is where we have a clear duty of care to flag a security concern: if something you are proposing would leave you exposed, we will tell you. The decision is still yours.

Can you handle major infrastructure projects, such as a full migration to the cloud?

Yes, absolutely. Cloud migrations, whether full transitions or hybrid implementations, are a core part of what we do. If you are planning something significant, we would recommend starting with a conversation so we can understand your current environment, your goals and the best path forward. You can find more detail on our cloud services page.

Are your solutions scalable enough to support high-growth startups?

Yes. We work with a number of high-growth startups and understand what that environment demands: speed, adaptability and an IT foundation that can scale without becoming a constraint. If you view IT as an investment and a catalyst for growth, we are well aligned.

Do you have experience supporting multi-site retail businesses with complex inventory systems?

Yes. A number of our clients operate across multiple sites, including retail businesses with multiple locations and complex point-of-sale requirements. We are experienced in setting up and supporting IT environments across different physical locations and understand the added coordination and consistency that multi-site operations require.
