We’re a Microsoft Cloud Solution Specialist providing IT services and licensing to businesses principally within the UK. Over the course of the last 20 or so years we’ve built a small business from scratch, having literally knocked doors to acquire early customers and working on referral ever since, to become what is today approximately 8 employees, with a solid recurring revenue and a modest profit, derived from around 150 customers. These customers are largely across multiple industries, however, we are particularly strong with the Accounting, Finance and Charitable sectors, but typically share one thing in common; being owner-managed. Those owner-managers benefit in various ways from either some or all of the following services owing to our long term experience and skillsets, in no particular order:
- IT Support under a sensible, working, Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Appropriate Microsoft Office 365 licensing
- IT Security solutions
- Connectivity
- Hosted Voice, Telephony & Mobile
- Professional Services
Each area typically requires a more detailed conversation in order it can be right-sized to suit your working practices and plans. At a glance, it is clear that you should consider reviewing your perimeter security and implementing something a little more appropriate than the existing device, given your shape and size. We're happy to give you some time on the subject to help you gain an understanding and put you in a better position to make a choice, just drop us a line and we can organise something to suit…
