The IT basics, done properly
Your business depends on tech every single day: emails, files, devices and cloud systems. When something stops working, productivity drops fast. IT Essentials gives small businesses the core IT support needed to stay productive and avoid downtime. We handle the systems behind the scenes so your team can focus on what matters.
Our platform uses trusted technology from Acronis and Dropsuite to keep everything monitored, backed up and running smoothly.
What’s included
Microsoft 365 licence management
Managing Microsoft 365 licences can get messy. People join, people leave, licences get forgotten. We keep your licences organised and cost-efficient:
- Right licences for every employee
- Fast setup for new starters
- Immediate removal for leavers
- No wasted spend on unused licences
- Ongoing support for changes
Your team always has the tools they need.
Email security
Spam and malicious emails slow you down. Our Acronis-powered email protection blocks threats before they reach your team:
- Less spam and noise
- Malicious attachments and links blocked
- Inbox protection for all staff
Your staff spend less time on junk, more time on work.
Device protection
Every device your team uses, from laptops to desktops and workstations, is a potential entry point for threats. Our security software monitors them all, around the clock:
- 24/7 device monitoring
- Early warning on unusual activity
- Fast response to issues
Your devices stay safe and ready for business.
Backup for Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 doesn’t always have your back if data is deleted. Our Dropsuite and Acronis backup means:
- Deleted emails and files can be restored
- OneDrive and SharePoint protected
- Quick recovery if something goes wrong
- Long-term, secure storage
Your data is always safe.
System monitoring & maintenance
Small issues can turn into big problems unless you spot them early. We watch your systems around the clock and fix issues remotely before they cause disruption:
- Device health monitoring
- Automatic updates
- Issues fixed before disruption
- Less downtime
Your systems stay reliable, without the hassle. Your data is stored securely in the UK, in line with GDPR requirements.
