The world of IT Support may be one you think you're familiar with through TV tropes portrayed in popular culture such as the sitcom The IT Crowd. We're all familiar with the cliché of the unhelpful IT Support worker who simply suggests you “turn it off and back on again.” But how much do you know about IT support and Managed IT Services in today's fast-paced technological business environment? Are you aware of the significant expertise and savings (in time and money) we can deliver for your business?

What is IT Support?

Firstly, let us define what we mean by the term IT. IT stands for Information Technology and, as the name suggests, it encompasses technological and computer-based systems in the workplace.

It follows from there that business IT support involves the management and support of these systems, particularly regarding problems and queries raised by their users, generally the staff of the workplace.

IT Support workers will help identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues as they are reported by staff. As well as this, IT Support can also assist with the installation of new systems such as software, hardware and networks.

Another aspect of IT Support is working on ensuring optimal network security to defend against cyber threats and other malicious elements online.

Who needs IT?

Any business which utilises information technology, computers and networks on a moderate to large scale is likely going to encounter the need for IT Support at some stage.

Whether it's a small online business with a web-based store or a large corporation dealing with networks and automated systems, it's inevitable that there will arise occasions which necessitate assistance in dealing with IT-related issues.

The swift advance of technology means that it's often necessary to have a dedicated team of experienced and knowledgeable IT Support professionals; they will be able to quickly tackle issues that would otherwise leave staff within the business stumped, whether it's a multinational bank or a small artisan coffee roaster with a webstore and online merchant bank.

IT issues can be costly and so it's important to keep downtime to a minimum when there are problems pertaining to computer-based systems and networks; these problems will need fixing quickly and thoroughly to keep the business running smoothly.

How do you find IT Support Services?

The answer to this very much depends on where you work. Different companies will have different Managed IT solutions in place to assist workers when they are experiencing technical related problems.

Large corporations will often have dedicated in-house IT Support Services whilst smaller firms may rely on outsourced impromptu solutions online or over the phone as difficulties crop up.

If it's a small technology-based start-up, you may even find that the business owners or staff have the technical know-how to deal with IT Support issues in-house themselves.

If staff lack a high degree of technical expertise it may be necessary to outsource IT Support to a third party company who can look after networks and systems and ensure everything keeps ticking over in the event of any problems.

Where is the best IT Support located in the UK?

Whilst larger companies may host in-house IT Support solutions, it's increasingly common for IT support call centres to be situated offshore. Well we’re pleased to say that CloudCoCo is located here in the UK with highly talented English speaking IT Specialists that offer 24 hour IT support.

Some types of computer hardware or software will offer IT Support from the manufacturers – product details will list a telephone number or email address where the support team can be reached.

This will all depend on the type and brand of computer hardware or software. For issues with computer networks, the person or company who installed the network will be the likely source of support and troubleshooting when things go awry.

Smaller tech-based companies may have in-house IT Support professionals; for example, a start-up app development team will likely have the knowledgeable to fix a lot of technical issues themselves, avoiding the cost of outsourced IT Support.

IT support is delivered across the UK 24/7 and we are ready to help you with all your Managed IT service needs. Services are provided in local areas including Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Wakefield, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Bradford, Bolton, Glasgow, Wigan, Derby, London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Peterborough, Reading, Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Preston, Chelmsford, Bristol, Cardiff, Aberdeen and more.

However, the average member of staff will not have a high degree of technical expertise but will still require working with IT systems in their day to day role.

When would you need IT Support?

IT Support becomes necessary when a technological issue arises that cannot be solved through in-house troubleshooting.

It could also be required if an issue would take too long to resolve in-house and would divert manpower and hours from other tasks integral to the business.

As a business, time and resources are crucial, and they shouldn't be wasted time trying to fix technical problems which could be solved much more expediently by IT Support professionals.

The danger of trying to resolve technical issues yourself is that you may inadvertently make things worse, or else you may not detect the true scale of the issue, leading to more glitches cropping up further down the line.

If you think that you can save money by going without IT Support and trying to tackle technological issues in-house, it is worth weighing up the financial and time cost downtime can cause your business.

How do you know you need IT Support?

The answer to this question largely depends on the extent to which your business relies on technology on a day to day basis.

As well as helping a business run smoothly and efficiently, best IT practices should also be in place to ensure a company is up to date and secure.

The rapid pace of technological advancement means that more and more companies will require some form of IT support, possibly on a semi-regular or continual basis depending on how much the daily running of the business involves the use of IT systems.

You may think your business is immune from technological problems, but everything from payment of invoices to storing customer details is increasingly online or computer-based these days.

Even small businesses tend to have websites where customers can order online, and it's rare that all of these web-based systems will run faultlessly without a hitch that will require some form of IT Support somewhere down the line.

As small businesses come to rely more and more on technology such as contactless payment systems and online marketing, IT Support will become increasingly sought after.
