Managed Technology, explained simply

Managed Technology is a possible arrangement for support, maintenance and monitoring across selected networks, devices, cloud systems or security controls. The systems covered and service levels should be defined in the agreement.

Is this for your business?

  • Businesses juggling multiple technology providers
  • Anyone who only deals with IT when something's already broken
  • Growing businesses without the size to justify an in-house IT team
  • Owners who want technology handled, not managed personally

Where it can make a difference

Support can be planned before incidents

A support plan can clarify maintenance and escalation before an issue occurs. Cost and coverage depend on the service selected.

Technology needs defined maintenance

Updates, security patches and monitoring may need recurring attention. The systems and schedule should be documented in the agreement.

What working with us actually looks like

01

We become your single point of contact

A support arrangement may cover selected systems and providers; responsibilities should be clear before work starts.

02

We monitor proactively

Monitoring can be configured for selected systems where the tools and service scope support it. It does not remove all outage risk.

03

We keep everything current

Updates, patches and maintenance can be planned around the business and recorded in the service scope.

04

We're on hand when you need us

Support channels, response targets and escalation arrangements should be confirmed in the service agreement.

Where businesses usually get stuck

"We only call someone when something breaks"

A reactive arrangement may leave the business deciding what to do during an incident. Planned support can set out maintenance and escalation in advance.

"We've outgrown ad-hoc IT help"

As a business grows, it may need a defined support arrangement rather than ad-hoc assistance. The appropriate scope depends on its systems.

What the work can improve

  • A documented support and escalation approach
  • Clearer responsibility for selected systems
  • Pricing and service terms agreed before work begins
  • Maintenance scheduled for the systems in scope
  • Less uncertainty about who to contact

Questions about Managed Technology

An existing provider can remain where it is suitable. Tech Builders can assess the current arrangement and outline options for the agreed scope.

Team size is one factor. Systems, risk, support needs and budget should determine whether a managed arrangement is suitable.
