IT Support London 24/7/365
Many small and medium size businesses rely on information technology to run their day-to-day operations. When the time comes for such firms to make and implement decisions on the best IT strategies, they may not be able to dedicate a member of their team to the IT task – provided that him/her does have the required expertise – as this would be a distraction from his/her main functions. Even for larger firms, financial considerations may prevent them from hiring a team of IT specialists and retaining them on their payroll.
That’s how IT consultancy comes in handy. IT consultancy aims to help a small, medium or large enterprise choose the best information technology strategies that align to your way of doing your business. By evaluating the capacity and efficiency of your current IT environment, the IT consultant will be able to identify your IT needs and come up with proposals and recommendations as well as an implementation plan. The next major part of IT consultancy is advising on the deployment, supervising the implementation and testing of the newly implemented IT solutions. Furthermore, hiring an IT consultant allows your company to access the needed manpower on a temporary basis to fulfil your IT needs, while still able to focus on your main area of expertise without committing to a permanent overhead cost.

We Have Great Answers
Ask Us Anything
This is a question a lot of business owners ask themselves, especially those that are new in their business. Now, basically, an IT consultant is an external analyst who, either remotely or physically, evaluates a business’ IT systems in order to help them meet their business goals and objectives. The primary duties of the consultant include analysing as well as diagnosing your IT infrastructure, understanding your specific IT needs, and lastly, designing and implementing an IT solution that aligns with your objectives and plans.
Cloud services are increasingly getting smarter and reliable in managing IT and other sensitive business information. One of the utmost benefits of cloud computing is the fact that you can access the data at any time, and it’s quite easy. What’s more, cloud computing does offer rapid innovation and flexibility in the resources as well as economies of scale. Cloud computing offers you the ‘pay per use’ feature, where you only pay for the services you use, which not only helps you reduce your operating cost but also makes running your IT infrastructure more effective and efficient. Our IT consultants will tell you more in our appointment.
What you need is managed IT support services. This means that an IT support team gets to monitor and manage your desktops and IT systems. If there are any issues detected, the team takes proactive and corrective actions to resolve them before they escalate. Managed IT support services allow you to leave the tech stuff to professionals and focus more on your core business. When compared to having an internal IT team, outsourcing the IT support services is way cheaper and less stressful.
Moreover, as a business owner, of course, you want to fully maximise the potential of everyone working for you. Well, having to divide attention between critical business functions and IT-related problems limits this potential. So, you need to allow the employees time to focus on what they are good at, and what they are paid to do. The only way to achieve this, as affordably as possible, is by outsourcing IT services.
Well, there are so many reasons why your computer is slowing down, but in most cases, the problem boils down to it being used inefficiently. Now, here are some of the most common problems:
- Too many background programs
- Running out of RAM
- Running out of hard-disk
- Too many startup programs
- Out-of-date updates or windows update
- Malware or viruses
This problem can be solved though, but in so doing, you will have to diagnose the exact reason why it’s slowing down. Because you can only be able to solve the problem once and for all if you know what’s bugging it in the first place. If, for instance, it’s because of crowded programs, just quit the programs and your computer should be fine. If your memory has maxed out, trying clearing everything you don’t need, or moving the larger files to the cloud. If the Windows is out of date, update it. And lastly, for malware and viruses, you will need to come up with an antivirus or anti-spam solution. Now, you can always seek the assistance of a trusted IT consultant, who will help you navigate all these problems safely and effectively.
Now, there are so many reasons why you need to maintain your network, the most important one being to prevent network failure, which in all cases has proven to be quite costly for the business. When you combine regular and comprehensive preventative maintenance with real-time monitoring from a qualified IT technician, you will certainly ensure the reliability and stability of your IT assets. What’s more, maintaining your network regularly means fewer failures, which in turn leads to increased productivity as well as saving up on costs. Equally as important, maintaining your network reduces your exposure to security risks as well as frustrations from unstable systems. Talk to our IT consultants and they will give many more reasons why network maintenance is so important.
Not always! It depends on the problem that you are experiencing. If after evaluating the problem we conclude that it is something that we can solve online and remotely, there won’t be any need to have our technician visit your premises. But if it’s a serious problem, such as system failure, we will have to come and fix it on premise. Basically, the problem that would require us to come to your premises are mostly the technical ones and requires an engineer on site. Our consultants will evaluate the problem and will see what you need – onsite or offsite if your business is in London.
Yes, it is very possible! In fact, with the right equipment and software, it is fairly easy to do. There are a number of options for you, including:
VPN connection – VPN stands for ‘virtual private network” and it describes an opportunity where you can establish a protected network connection through public networks. With a VPN, you will be able to disguise your online identity and thereby making it difficult for third parties to steal your data. Once you are connected, you will be able to access all the shared network drives as well as other systems safely, from wherever you may be.
Remote desktop connection – if you have a remote desktop server, you can open a connection, where you can connect with a different computer and be able to access a personalised desktop that’s based at your office.
Third-party software – you can also use one of the many third-party software such as Team Viewer and Anydesk to have access to your system remotely.
You can give us a call if you have any questions and we will find solutions that fit your goals.
