About Sterling IT ›

What managed IT is, and what’s included

Managed IT means we look after your systems continuously rather than waiting for something to break. Monitoring, patching, backup checks and reporting all run in the background for a predictable monthly fee.

The alternative is break/fix: we attend when you call and bill for the work done. That costs less in a quiet month and a great deal more in a bad one, because nobody was watching.

✓Continuous monitoring
✓Microsoft and third-party patching
✓Backup monitoring and verification
✓Endpoint and network security
✓Service-level agreement
✓Plain-language reporting
✓Regular review meetings
✓Vendor and carrier management
✓Server, cloud and Microsoft 365 admin
✓Discounted rates on work outside the plan

What is unmanaged IT really costing you?

IT problems rarely arrive as one dramatic outage. The cost accumulates quietly.

Someone waits twenty minutes for a file to open. Someone else spends an hour trying to fix it themselves. The same fault interrupts the same team every week. A project slips because the hardware was ordered late.

On their own these look minor. Across a business they become lost hours, frustrated staff and a growing backlog of things nobody owns.

Our job is not only to close tickets. It is to find what keeps causing them and tell you what needs to change.

Leave IT to the professionals and let your team focus on what they do best

Break Fix

  • —Pay per job, nothing ongoing
  • —No reporting, monitoring or patching

The difference

How managed services help

What changes in the first few months on a plan.

01

Fewer interruptions

Recurring faults get fixed at the cause rather than reopened every fortnight.

02

Predictable costs

One monthly figure you can budget, instead of invoices that arrive after the bad week.

03

Better security posture

Patching, endpoint protection and backup verification happen on a schedule, not when someone remembers.

04

Your team freed up

Whoever has been the accidental IT person gets their actual job back.

05

A documented environment

Assets, licences and configuration written down, so nothing depends on one person’s memory.

06

Advice before you spend

Regular reviews on what to replace, what to keep and what can wait another year.

Your first 90 days

What working with us looks like

We do not simply take over the helpdesk. We learn the business first, then build the plan.

01

Free site visit

We come out, look at what you actually have and hear what keeps going wrong.

02

Written recommendation

The plan we think fits, what it covers, what it does not, and the monthly cost.

03

Onboarding

Documentation, monitoring and backups in place, with the known problems cleared.

04

Steady state

Reporting, review meetings and a roadmap for what to do next year.

How much does it cost?

No two businesses are the same, so we price on your seat count, your systems and the level of cover you choose. What we will not do is quote before we have seen the environment.

The agreement sets out what is included, so there are no surprise invoices, and it scales as you add or remove people.
