Free Guide: Why You’re Better In A Contract With Your IT Company

Waiting for IT problems to happen is like waiting for a breakdown on a quiet road. This short guide explains how ongoing support keeps you moving, and what it means for your costs.

What's inside

Written for business owners and managers, not IT specialists. It compares both approaches fairly, so you can decide what suits your business.

  1. The problem with call-us-when-it-breaks IT

    Downtime, unpredictable bills, data loss, a provider who does not know your setup and security that slips behind: five pitfalls of waiting for things to go wrong.

  2. What a contracted partnership gives you

    Problems spotted early and fixed quickly, often before your team notices, with a provider who learns how your business works and plans ahead with you.

  3. More than a transaction

    Direct access to people who know you, instead of phone menus and long waits, and a trusted adviser on technology decisions as you grow.

  4. Staying one step ahead

    Regular check-ups, updates and patches, monitoring, staff awareness, incident response and help meeting your data protection duties.

  5. The bottom line on cost

    Why a fixed monthly fee is easier to budget for, and how prevention, less downtime and longer-lasting equipment can make it better value over time.

Prevention is easier than recovery

The right choice depends on the size of your business, how much you rely on technology and how you like to budget. The guide helps you weigh it up without pressure.
