Review & improve

Technology Business Reviews keep IT aligned to the business.

I’m really pleased that we have been externally recognised for Customer Service. It’s the core thing we offer; we’re a customer service company that knows about computers. A client doesn’t care what was fixed, or how it was fixed, they care that they weren’t made to feel a fool in the process.
Alex at Better-IT AlexSenior Field Engineer, Better-IT

“When our onsite IT resource unexpectedly took leave, Better-IT quickly agreed to a weekly onsite presence. Alex’s visits have helped to ensure our IT operations continue smoothly. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to outstanding service are not just better, but the best!”

Frequently asked

The questions we get asked before people switch.

Straight answers on how we work, what it costs and what switching actually involves.

How disruptive is switching to Better-IT?

Far less than you would expect. We run a structured onboarding: audit your estate, document what exists, take over monitoring and support, then fix what we find. Your team keeps working throughout, and downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.

What are your support hours?

Our helpdesk is open 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. Monitoring runs 24/7 in the background, so most issues are picked up and dealt with before anyone needs to call.

Do you support Google Workspace?

No. We are Microsoft specialists, and we would rather be excellent at one platform than average at two. If your business runs on Google Workspace, we are honestly not the right fit.

How quickly will someone answer when we need help?

You get a direct line to senior engineers rather than a first-line filter reading from a script. We operate a ticketing system through HaloPSA, so every request is logged, tracked and seen through to resolution. Response times are measured and reported back to you, so you can see what you are actually getting rather than taking our word for it.

What does it cost?

Support is priced per user, per month, so the cost scales with your team rather than with how often things break. Projects and hardware are quoted separately and always approved before we start.

We will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit for your budget.

Do we get our own account manager?

Yes. Every client has a dedicated technical account manager who knows your business and your setup. They run your quarterly reviews, plan your roadmap and budgets with you, and are your point of contact when something needs a decision rather than a fix.

Will you come to us onsite?

Yes. We are onsite across the East Midlands whenever remote will not do, and we support businesses remotely across the whole of the UK.

What happens after we have signed up?

You get a dedicated account manager and quarterly business reviews, so someone is accountable for where your IT is going, not just for keeping it running. Training and events are included as standard.

Still have a question we haven't answered?

Book a call and we will talk it through.
