Managed IT Services
Managed IT that fits your
team, service done properly.
Managed IT services covering service desk, endpoint, identity and observability as one operation. Modern technology, old-fashioned values: a UK delivery team that knows your estate, named accountability, and reporting your finance team can read.

The managed IT services market has changed. Identity is the perimeter, AI is changing the service desk, and the standards expected of a UK provider have moved on.
Microsoft has shipped Copilot for Service, ServiceNow has introduced autonomous agents into Level 1 incident handling, and identity governance has moved from a hygiene concern to a board-level priority. Endpoint estates have become programmes, with Windows 11, Copilot+ PC and Apple all on the lifecycle plan. The bar for a competent UK managed service provider has moved on.
Our managed IT services are built around that reality. One contract, one accountable team, and a published operating model covering service desk, endpoint, identity and observability. Reporting in plain language. Service-level commitments tied to measurable outcomes. A delivery team you can name.

Contaxt
Two delivery models. One operating standard.
We deliver fully managed IT services for organisations that want a single accountable provider, and
co-managed services for in-house teams that need partnership without losing ownership.
What we deliver
Six capabilities, delivered as one service.
Our managed IT services are designed and operated as a single delivery model, not a stack of separate contracts.
Service desk
First, second and third-line support, with ITIL 4 incident, problem and change processes. AI-augmented triage on ServiceNow or your existing PSA, with measured first-contact resolution and deflection rates.
Identity and access
Microsoft Entra ID Governance, Privileged Identity Management, Conditional Access, Verified ID for password resets, quarterly access reviews and lifecycle workflows.
Endpoint lifecycle
Microsoft Intune with Autopilot, Windows 11 hardening, Defender for Endpoint, Copilot+ PC readiness. Apple estates managed via Jamf or Intune. Refresh planned to a calendar.
Observability and AIOps
Azure Monitor, Datadog or Dynatrace integrated with your ITSM. Detections tuned to your application map, with runbook automation for the highest-volume events.
Co-managed operating model
Written ownership matrix across Microsoft, network, security, identity and endpoint. Role-based access into our ServiceNow, Intune and Sentinel for your team. Joint runbooks for shared responsibility areas.
Service governance
ITIL 4 process maturity, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials aligned, named service delivery manager, monthly scorecard, quarterly business review against measurable targets.
01 · Service Desk
A service desk measured on resolution, not ticket volume.
AI is changing the economics of Level 1 support. ServiceNow's autonomous incident agents, Microsoft Copilot for Service, and PSA-native AI from Atera and Freshservice now handle a meaningful share of routine requests, freeing engineers for the work that needs judgement.
We deploy these tools where they earn their keep, with tuned knowledge bases, role-based prompt design and deflection metrics tracked monthly. The service desk team focuses on the work AI cannot do, with named senior engineers on call rather than anonymous queues. Reporting covers first-contact resolution, mean time to acknowledge, mean time to resolve and self-service deflection.
02 · Identity and Access
Identity governance, properly implemented and rehearsed.
Identity has become the primary attack surface across UK enterprise IT. Social-engineered helpdesk attacks, privilege escalation through dormant accounts and over-provisioned service principals are now standard tradecraft. Effective defence is a combination of platform configuration and operational process, not just policy.
We implement Microsoft Entra ID Governance with access reviews and lifecycle workflows. Privileged Identity Management for time-bound admin role activation. Verified ID for high-risk password resets. Conditional Access baselined to Microsoft Zero Trust deployment guidance. The helpdesk runbook is rebuilt around identity verification and rehearsed, with named approvers for privileged-account changes.
03 · Endpoint Lifecycle
Endpoint as a managed estate, not a series of refresh projects.
The current endpoint landscape combines Windows 11 hardware refresh, Copilot+ PC entitlement on capable devices, Windows 10 ESU costs, and growing Apple estates in regulated sectors. Treating these as separate projects produces uneven coverage and unpredictable budgets.
We run endpoint as a single managed lifecycle on Microsoft Intune, with Autopilot zero-touch provisioning, Windows 11 hardening baselines, Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise. Apple estates via Jamf or Intune for hybrid environments. Refresh cycles planned to a calendar with quarterly cost reporting, so procurement is predictable rather than reactive.
04 · Observability
Observability tuned to your environment, not a generic template.
Untuned observability platforms produce alert volumes that exceed the team's capacity to triage, leading to alert fatigue and missed incidents. Effective monitoring requires detections aligned to the customer's application map and a measured reduction in noise over time.
We deploy Azure Monitor, Datadog or Dynatrace integrated with ServiceNow, with runbook automation for the highest-volume events. Detection tuning is reviewed monthly, with false-positive rate published as a primary KPI. Synthetic monitoring covers critical user journeys, and capacity telemetry feeds the quarterly business review.
05 · Co-Managed Operating Model
Co-managed services with a documented ownership matrix.
Co-managed engagements work when ownership is explicit. A written matrix across Microsoft, network, security, identity and endpoint sets out which team owns what, where the joint responsibilities sit, and how escalation works. Without that, co-managed quietly becomes fully managed by drift.
We publish the ownership matrix as part of the contract and review it quarterly. Your team has role-based access into our ServiceNow, Intune, Sentinel and monitoring tooling. Joint runbooks are version-controlled and shared. Pricing flexes with the split: when your team takes on more, the cost reflects it.
06 · Service Governance
Reporting that gives a clear answer to a board-level question.
Service reviews are most useful when they show what changed, what missed and what improved, in language a non-technical audience can act on. Sixty-slide dashboards rarely produce decisions; one-page scorecards usually do.
Our quarterly business review fits on a single page covering SLA performance, first-contact resolution, mean times to acknowledge and resolve, ticket trends, identity hygiene and vulnerability remediation. ITIL 4 process maturity, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials alignment is evidenced annually, with a named service delivery manager accountable for the relationship.
