DesktopLive

Want to take your business into the cloud? DesktopLive from Managed Networks lets you embrace the future. It gives you access to all of your documents, images, emails and so on over the internet wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. You can use it from an office desktop PC or on the move from a laptop, smartphone or tablet. So whether you need to work on the move, link offices together, enable your staff to work remotely, protect your business against data loss, reduce your carbon footprint or improve your IT system without expensive upfront costs, DesktopLive is the answer.

DesktopLive+

DesktopLive+ is what we call the cloud with a silver lining. Our unique solution gives you all the benefits of our DesktopLive cloud system – 24/7 access, total security and availability plus the latest Microsoft software. And we also provide the IT infrastructure you need – the PCs, printers, internet connection and firewall. You pay a simple monthly fee per user from just £99 and we take care of everything with one support desk, one phone number, one bill. You and your staff get a consistent and reliable IT service. Your finance director gets to charge everything to operating expenses as DesktopLive+ is 100% tax-deductible, and you get to concentrate on running your business.

Online Services

IT servers can be a real headache for any business. You have to run them, maintain them, update them, add new users and permissions, carry out backups. So why not let Managed Networks host your physical servers or replace them with hosted virtual servers? We have a simple pricing structure and we do all the server support, management and maintenance tasks for you. It’s a highly efficient way to save yourself the cost of running racks and aircon, and the hassle of managing platforms and applications. All without investing a penny of your business’s capital. We also offer Microsoft Exchange hosted email which can be cheaper than running it in-house.

Regional IT Support

When you have an IT problem, you need it sorting fast. So it’s good to know that wherever you are, you’re never far from expert help from Managed Networks. We’re a national company with clients all over the country, so we have plenty of experience of providing high quality 24/7 IT support at a local level. In fact, we have regional offices across England, and have more offices opening in the near future. Each centre has Microsoft Certified IT Professionals who can give you rapid local on-site IT support across a wide range of services. Want local IT support from a national Microsoft Certified Gold partner? Get in touch with Managed Networks.

Backup & Data Recovery

Did you know that less than half of businesses have a business continuity plan, and 43% never recover from a serious IT crash? That’s why Managed Networks are here to help. We can carry out a thorough analysis of your IT Business Continuity, suggesting ways to improve the way you do things. We can also provide full Business Continuity Planning which builds on our back-up and Disaster Recovery Services to enable your business to carry on uninterrupted no matter what happens – flood, fire or other external occurrences. Our Business Continuity Service provides 24/7/365 instant standby for your servers by duplicating your data to our data centre.

Securing Data

A single security breach can cost a small company an average of £30,000. Despite this, around half of all companies still don’t pay enough attention to their data security. It needs to be thought of as three separate areas - technology, people and the physical world. Our Perimeter Defence Service identifies, quarantines and gets rid of viruses, Trojans, worms and other threats and also works with industry-leading systems such as McAfee and Symantec. All in all, our in-depth knowledge of information security enables us to provide the necessary technological solutions, plus support, recommendations and security training you need.

Industry Specific Support

Not surprisingly, companies in different sectors have widely differing business needs. For instance, a theatre’s busiest period comes after the end of the normal business day, while a stockbroker will need instant IT support whenever global stock markets are open and trading. We’ve spent years developing our expertise in a range of industries, so that we can give exactly the level of IT support that different businesses require. We provide IT solutions to companies across the financial sector including insurance brokers, independent financial advisors, underwriters and banks. We  also meet the needs of consultancies, theatres and entertainment businesses, international companies, charities and Not-for-Profit organisations and manufacturing companies.

Audit & Compliance

Sometimes IT systems seem to run slowly for no apparent reason. To stop this happening in your business, Managed Networks can carry out a full IT audit and health-check. This thorough examination of your IT system will include an IT network audit, network security audit and software audit, which together will tell you exactly what’s working well, and what’s letting you down and hampering you and your team. Once we’ve identified your resources, strengths and weaknesses, our recommendations will help you get your IT in tiptop condition, and ready to support and enhance your future growth strategies.
