Reclaiming Reliable IT Support

A Communications Consultancy Return to Fit-For-Purpose Service

A leading communications consultancy relied on a trusted IT support provider for secure, proactive, and tailored IT solutions. The consultancy valued the fast response times, expert support for PC-related issues, and personalised service that kept their team running smoothly.

However, they made the decision to switch to a larger corporate IT provider, because it promised broader expertise in Mac-related issues and appeared to have greater capacity to upscale its service as the consultancy grew.

The Challenge

The consultancy quickly realised that the switch compromised their day-to-day operations. Instead of responsive, personalised support, they found themselves dealing with:

  • Everchanging Client Relationship Managers whose rapid turnover required the consultancy to educate a new contact about its requirements every few months.
  • A project management approach that resulted in every request for a change, however small, requiring an expensive, over-engineered solution.
  • Mac ‘experts’ who were unable to rectify major, recurring, issues.

With client communications dependent on reliable systems tailored to its business needs the consultancy grew frustrated. IT became something that made things more complex, rather than a business enabler.

The Solution

Realising the need for reliable, fit-for-purpose IT support, the consultancy explored returning to Better-IT. It discovered that in the time it had been away, Better-IT had grown in size and capability. The resulting transition was handled quickly and efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption. The process included:

  • Seamless migration to a secure, managed IT environment.
  • Personalised support tailored to the agency’s unique workflow and tools.
  • Proactive IT strategy to ensure ongoing efficiency, security, and reliability.

The Result

Since returning to Better-IT, the communication consultancy has experienced fast, high-quality IT support it can rely on. Issues are resolved quickly and pragmatically, and its team can focus on delivering results for clients. Bigger is sometimes said to be better, but in this case, it was ensuring the right fit between client and provider that delivered satisfaction.
