WHEN IT SUPPORT STOPS WORKING
Is your current IT support holding the business back?
Most organisations do not start searching for a new IT provider because everything is working well.
They make contact because employees are waiting too long for help, the current provider has stopped communicating, costs are increasing without an obvious improvement or nobody is taking clear responsibility for the company’s technology.
Poor Communication
You receive little advice, limited reporting and no clear explanation of what your provider is doing each month.
No Internal IT Department
Technology responsibilities are being handled informally by directors, office managers or employees whose main role is something else
An Internal IT Employee Has Left
Important knowledge, access and responsibility may have left with them, creating an immediate operational gap.
The Business Has Outgrown Its Current Provider
The service that worked when the business was smaller may no longer provide the structure, security or accountability you need.
ONE TEAM. ONE MONTHLY SERVICE.
Everything your business needs from an IT department
Simtech becomes the team your employees contact when they need help and the partner responsible for the ongoing administration, protection and management of your technology.
We support users, maintain devices, administer Microsoft 365, monitor security tools, protect cloud data and help your leadership team make informed technology decisions.
You gain the capability of an internal IT department without the cost and complexity of recruiting, managing and retaining a complete in-house team.
Unlimited Remote IT Support
Your employees can contact Simtech by telephone or email during normal support hours whenever they need assistance.
Microsoft 365 Administration
We manage users, permissions, licences, starters, leavers and everyday Microsoft 365 administration.
Device Monitoring And Maintenance
Computers are monitored, maintained and patched to reduce avoidable faults and security risks.
Antivirus And Endpoint Protection
Managed antivirus and endpoint detection and response help protect supported devices against modern threats.
Microsoft 365 Backup
Your Microsoft 365 data is backed up using a separate SaaS backup service rather than relying solely on Microsoft’s standard retention controls.
User And Device Support
We assist employees with their accounts, applications, computers and other supported business technology.
Network And Wi-Fi Support
We help maintain and troubleshoot the networks and wireless services your employees rely on.
Supplier Liaison
We deal with relevant technology suppliers so your team does not have to coordinate multiple providers whenever something goes wrong.
IT And Cybersecurity Planning
Every managed customer receives a formal review with practical recommendations for the next stage of the business.
MANAGED IT PLANS

Behind the support desk, we monitor devices, administer Microsoft 365, maintain security tooling, oversee backups and manage agreed technology responsibilities.
We help you plan ahead
Formal reviews identify risks, upcoming investments and practical improvements before they become urgent problems.
UNHAPPY WITH YOUR CURRENT IT COMPANY?
Switching IT provider does not need to be disruptive
Many businesses remain with an unsuitable IT provider because they are concerned that changing supplier will create downtime, lost information or conflict with the incumbent company.
Simtech manages the transition through a structured onboarding and handover process.
We establish what needs to be transferred, obtain the required administrative access, deploy our management and security tools and document the environment before taking responsibility for ongoing support.
Switching reasons
Businesses commonly approach Simtech because:
You do not need to notify your current provider before having an initial confidential conversation with Simtech.

SECURITY BUILT INTO MANAGED IT
IT support and cybersecurity should not be separate conversations
Every supported device and user creates potential risk.
