Frequently Asked Questions about MITS
(Managed IT Services)

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal contract between your business and a Managed Service Provider (MSP). This contract specifies the quality and scope of services that the MSP will provide. By having an SLA in place, your business can rest assured that we will adhere to the agreed-upon terms, offering you preferential treatment compared to sporadic or on-demand services.

Our cost-effective Managed IT Services (MITS) alleviates the burden of overseeing your IT systems. We offer:

  • Network Management
  • Systems Management
  • IT Security
  • Data Protection
  • IT Help Desk
  • Application Management

 

These services are designed to provide you with efficient and worry-free IT management.

Opting for a Fixed Fee Managed IT Services Agreement is the most suitable choice. As a business owner, you’re well aware of the expenses associated with maintaining an in-house IT department. Bringing in a proficient Managed Service Provider (MSP) can significantly enhance your business’s overall performance. Fixed Fee agreements also offer the advantage of predictable budgeting and customisation to match your specific needs right from the outset.

Before finalising any agreements, we’ll arrange a meeting with you to gain a comprehensive understanding of your requirements and to ensure that the most appropriate agreement is established from the very beginning. Our aim is to grasp the nature of your business, your budgetary constraints, as well as any auditing and compliance prerequisites. We’ll also delve into your prior experiences, identifying what has been effective for your business and what hasn’t. Through this in-depth understanding of your needs, we can create a tailored agreement that addresses all your specific requirements.

No. Our cancellation policy is 3 months without any hidden tricks.

Certainly. When collaborating closely with a Managed Service Provider (MSP), your IT Manager enjoys the advantages of a symbiotic relationship. They maintain a deep understanding of the company’s objectives and retain control over its strategic direction, while we contribute our specialised expertise to transform these goals into reality. Our partnership is particularly beneficial for IT managers seeking to optimise their operations without the burden of managing an in-house department.

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) serves as a comprehensive record detailing the duties and obligations of both the Managed Service Provider (MSP) and your company. Within this SLA, we place significant emphasis on defining processes and response times, determining the hours of coverage, specifying inclusions and exclusions, and establishing a fee schedule. This ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the agreement’s scope and its associated monthly value.

Certainly! Our MITS is a fixed fee agreement, encompassing our IT Protection and Recovery toolkit, as well as all Business as Usual (BAU) labour, all for a predetermined monthly fee. To clarify, BAU labour revolves around the principle of ensuring that if something was functioning properly yesterday, it should continue to work seamlessly today. We avoid complex charging models that involve specifying a particular number of additions, movements, or changes because such approaches often lead to confusion and hinder mutual accountability. Through a thorough understanding of your operational environment during the discovery phase, we can offer you a fixed fee that is customised to perfectly suit your business needs.

Our MITS encompasses the following services and features:

  • Proactive monitoring
  • Automated alerting and ticketing
  • Predictive failure detection
  • Self-healing automation
  • Patch management
  • Asset tracking
  • Endpoint detection and response
  • Mail protection and document backup

 

These tools and services have been developed and continually refined over the past 20 years to guarantee the ongoing protection and recoverability of our clients’ systems. We regularly update our technologies to keep pace with the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, ensuring that our clients remain as well-protected as possible.

We work to spot and resolve roadblocks before proceeding to the transition stage. With our extensive experience in migrating IT systems, we’ve established a streamlined process for seamless transitions at agreed-upon dates. We ensure your systems remain operational, secure, and recoverable throughout the transition.

No. Every business is exposed to identical risks. When you enter into MITS, you are enlisting the services of an experienced Managed Service Provider (MSP) who comprehends the daily cyber threats confronting businesses. This guarantees that you have visibility, recoverability, and safeguarding for your site against both internal and external disasters and threats.

Engaging a professional Managed Service Provider (MSP) is unequivocally more cost-effective than building an in-house IT team. To staff an IT department adequately, you’d typically need to hire a minimum of 4-6 professionals, including roles such as:

  • IT Management
  • Project Manager/Lead (Level 3)
  • Technical Manager/Lead (Level 3)
  • Helpdesk/Triage (Levels 1 and 2)
