Managed IT Support Reading

How Can We Help Your Reading Business?

Are you happy with the service offered by your current IT support company in Reading?

Do you have an up-to-date cyber security plan, and are you ready to respond in the event of an attack?

Are your backups properly set up, and do you have complete confidence in their reliability?

Does your network give you frequent trouble or suffer from unexpected outages?

Is your IT support provider too slow in dealing with issues or unable to respond efficiently?

Have you perhaps outgrown your current provider, or are you facing challenges with IT management in-house?

Would co-managed IT support make a difference to your business if you already have in-house IT staff?

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Managed IT Support

Why do you have a minimum starting point?2025-05-09T06:51:39+01:00

We have a minimum starting price of £1,300 per month for our fully managed service and £2,000 per month for our co-managed service.

The reason we have minimum monthly charges for our services is because we want to continue to deliver exceptional, best in class service to our clients.

We believe the best way to do this is to work with fewer clients, providing a more dedicated experience.

Because we work with fewer clients, we have to ensure that we work to a minimum starting price, otherwise we would be forced to take on too many clients which would dilute our attention and service levels.

This enables us to have the correct staff on hand to provide exceptional service.

Why do we need IT Support?2023-10-05T13:14:56+01:00

A lot of businesses are first set up small, doing everything yourself but eventually, after a bit of growth, this just becomes an impossible task.

Add that to the growing complexity of technology, do you want to spend the time training on how to use all the systems and software or do you want to focus on your business?

What type of companies do we work with?2023-10-05T13:22:53+01:00

We work with some great clients based in Yorkshire, across various sectors including:

  • Charities, non-profit, third sector
  • Financial services
  • Manufacturing, engineering, medical device
  • Professional services – creative, finance, insurance, loans, recruitment
  • Property and construction
  • Warehousing and distribution
  • Roofing
What is the Cloud?2023-11-06T09:36:11+00:00

Surprisingly we once were asked, “How do you transfer my data to a Cloud”.

Now I was always brought up that there are no stupid questions, but do you think this one took the biscuit?

In all seriousness, the Cloud is simply data that is stored on someone else’s computer via way of the Internet.

This can be from Azure (Microsoft) AWS (Amazon) Cygnatech Cloud (Ours) or Google Cloud Services.

Wherever you choose to store your data you need it to be safe and compliant to local laws.

What do our price plans include?2024-09-18T16:57:27+01:00

Telephone & Remote Support Mon-Fri 9-5 pm (emergency out of hours available).

Advanced Malware Protection.

Managed Business Anti-Virus.

Microsoft 365 Support.

Microsoft 365 Training & other areas such as Mental Health & Cyber Security.

Optional Proactive Network Care (Firewall/Router/Switches).

Proactive Care (Monitoring & Patch Management – System and Software).

  • 10-500 users (negotiable).

  • Amazon AWS & Microsoft Azure Cloud Infrastructure.

  • Cloud Data Backup & Disaster Recovery.

  • Daily Device checks.

  • Proactive monitoring of Desktops and Server Infrastructure.

  • Support for Mac, Windows, Linux and Smartphones.

  • Support for physical and virtual servers, including Hyper-V and ESXi.

  • Support Cloud Services such as Datto Workplace, Microsoft 365, SharePoint.

  • Unlimited Telephone and Remote Support.

  • VoIP Phone System with our Platinum plan.

 

What additional costs do we need to consider alongside the Managed IT Service?2025-05-09T06:54:00+01:00

The intention of our fully-inclusive Managed IT & Cyber Security service is to ensure that we aren’t trying to sell you add-ons or bolt-ons all the time.

We’ve found from conversations with businesses that their current experience with their IT partner is they feel like they’re constantly being sold to. With new products and services being offered on a regular basis with additional charges.

That said, there are some options that don’t benefit all our clients equally and stay separate to our Managed IT Service.

You will pay additionally for your Microsoft 365 licences as these aren’t included within the package price. We’ve done this to ensure that we provide the most cost-effective licenses for your particular use case.

A lot of our clients choose to use our hosted VoIP telephone solution too. This would be quoted for you based on your requirements.

IT Support is too expensive?2023-11-02T12:12:00+00:00

Although we have heard this in the past, ultimately you have to think more about what you are looking to get and what you value in your business.

Can you afford to be down for multiple days, or longer? By partnering with an IT company that builds you a solution that includes Disaster Recovery, we look out for you.

The goal here is to be a true IT partner, a long-term part of your business, learn your needs and grow with you.

How much does IT support cost?2025-05-17T14:53:06+01:00

Our Harrogate-based Managed IT Support costs from £65 per month for each user, but there is a 10-user minimum. This means your minimum cost would be £650+VAT per month.

This can differ based on how many servers, computers or sites you have. The best thing would be to talk to us about your individual quote.

How easy is it to switch IT provider?2023-11-02T11:48:14+00:00

It is very easy. We can change over any necessary software behind the scenes.

We make sure to document your setup and get all the security and monitoring tools in place, this allows us to react quickly when you need us.

Any information we can get from your existing provider will be helpful.

Have you got different packages for different budgets?2025-05-09T06:56:11+01:00

Our service and pricing is standardised to ensure that every single one of our clients receives the same exceptional service and all the Cyber Security measures we can think of.

Essentially, all we need to know is whether you have an internal IT team that we’re going to be working with or if you’re planning on outsourcing all of your IT requirements to us.

These are the only two pricing differences we have.

Do you support Mac?2023-11-02T11:45:36+00:00

Yes, we are able to provide the same level of service for Apple Macs and PCs. We work with a number of media and creative agencies that have either mostly Mac or 100% Mac setup.

Do I need a Managed Services Provider?2024-02-05T00:26:02+00:00

On our About page, we answered a question asking why to Choose a Managed Service Provider.

There are several reasons. However, the two main reasons that come to mind are:

Business Continuity – Imagine a scenario where your server goes down and all your staff rely on connecting to this server to get any work completed, what now?

How long can your business survive without staff working?

Cost Savings – Everybody has technical issues. Whether an in-house team resolves them, outsourced to an IT Support Company or fixed by a friend, or relative of the owner.

We can save money by setting a set cost for your ongoing support, 9-5 remote support included and the ability to raise tickets.

This saves money and prevents accidents that can be catastrophic to your business.

Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Group to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.

Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.

He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
