Our Team is Your Team
Whether you need a totally comprehensive, fully outsourced managed service for every aspect of your technology, or support to complement your own internal IT team, we’ll deliver the package to suit. Our PromisePlus support agreement will give you the peace of mind that your business has been looking for and a partner that will create and deliver a technology strategy to support your goals.
Your Strategic Partner
Ongoing, board level advice and guidance through our technology roadmapping approach.
Proactive Monitoring
We actively monitor your systems to detect and prevent potential issues, minimising disruptions and downtime.
Completely Scalable
Flexible per user pricing meaning you only pay for what you need with predictable budgeting.
Your very own IT department.
Avoid the time, cost and headache of employing a team of qualified IT professionals with our PromisePlus agreement. Your business will have access to our Microsoft and industry trained and accredited technology consultants, help-desk technicians, and specialist engineers. Our training never stops, and the development of skills and qualifications to a higher level is a continuous pursuit.
If you already have existing IT technicians in your business, we can work with them and complement projects or support as needed.
Always there when you need us.
We will actively monitor and manage your infrastructure, security and devices to ensure a fast, efficient, pro-active service, minimising disruptions and down-time. Of course, when you need us, you can pick up the phone and call our amazing helpdesk team. Support is provided by telephone, remote access and onsite visits, all included in your fixed price.
To ensure sure your business is covered when you need it most, Astec also provide a range of out of hours or 24/7 helpdesk support options, to align with your business operations.
Outstanding service, guaranteed.
We understand that any amount of time without your technology can be hugely disruptive and costly. That’s why we operate to strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing that issues will be responded to quickly and that you’ll be back working within the minimum of fuss. We’ll also work to identify and eliminate the root cause of issues and stop problems arising time and again.
A strategic partner to guide you.
PromisePlus is about far more than outstanding support and managed services. Having a technology strategy is critical to all successful organisations. Included in our service, Astec provide our full VCIO (Virtual Chief Information Officer) service. We appraise and audit every part of your technology landscape, understand your business goals and preferences, and then build a technology roadmap with you. We present your team with detailed technology reports and gap analysis reports, a three year roadmap and budgets for your plan and then review the plan with you at regular intervals.
Skills to achieve more.
The key to business productivity, is having a team with the skills to get the most from your technology investments. With every PromisePlus agreement, your whole team will get access to our Modern Business Skills Plan service. We provide regular, live training broadcasts and access to training guides and other content, all centred around the Microsoft cloud. We will get your team achieving more. And if you want additional training, we can arrange a range of ‘deep dive’ face to face or remote training sessions.
Security first.
Security is at the heart of everything we do for you. As part of your PromisePlus service, we will ensure that your environment is secure and safe and that your users know how to operate safely. As part of your onboarding process, we will review all forms of your current security, identify any gaps and suggest ways to protect yourself. We will not only monitor your environment for reliability and performance, but we will be working to keep you safe.
