Pay As You Go IT Support - IT support made simple...
- Pay As You Go (PAYG) IT support with volume discounts.
- Buy by the hour, use by the minute.
- No contracts, no monthly fees, no expiry date on your purchased hours.
Who Is It For?
Our PAYG IT Support is cost effective for most small to medium sized businesses (SME's), because of the
overheads associated with employing in-house IT staff and keeping staff fully utilised and trained.
Out-sourcing IT support is rapidly gaining popularity as employers are beginning to realise that
out-sourcing usually does cost less and can deliver a higher quality of service.
In addition, our IT Support is popular with businesses as additional support to
their own in-house IT team during demanding periods. Typically we assist with their basic
activities leaving their in-house staff to focus on higher level requirements.
How Much Do Your Staff Cost You?
Have you ever calculated the true cost of employees? Did you know that paying an employee
£30,000 per annum actually costs you about £40 per hour minimum assuming they are
100% active and 100% efficient all day! The true cost is more like £70 to £100 per hour
due to employee activity and efficiency factors (60% activity levels and 70% efficiency
factors are not untypical).

Easy to Understand IT Support
Access to our comprehensive IT support service is via our simple industry pioneering Pay As You Go
(PAYG) IT support product.
Our PAYG IT support is analogous to PAYG mobile phones. You buy hours of support up-front and then use
them just when you need to. The more hours you pre-buy, the greater your savings. There is no expiry
date on the hours you buy, and when you need support, time is deducted simply by the minute. Now
compare that to our competitors.

How We Assist You
In the first instance of you requesting our support, we attempt to resolve your problem remotely via the telephone
and/or connecting remotely to a computer at your site. This saves travel time, speeds up our response time to
your request and reduces your cost. Only about 10% of our IT support work requires an on-site client visit.
For each support request, you will have only one point of contact, your dedicated Client Support
Manager (CSM). Your Client Support Manager will speak plain English to you, and manage all the
technical people needed on your behalf.
