Managed IT support sized for Bath architecture practices, measured monthly.

Around the SouthGate quarter and the Georgian city centre, Bath's tourism base keeps architecture practices busy and their systems under pressure. Our work on managed IT support for Bath architecture practices pairs endpoint security with practical support and ISO 19650. The architecture practices angle matters: with managed IT support, it comes down to SketchUp, practice principals, and the pressure of heavy CAD file sharing. We configure endpoint security so AutoCAD keeps performing when project archiving puts practice principals under pressure. Architecture practices here end up with fast issue resolution and one fewer thing to chase. No lock-in, no jargon, and data kept in the UK. Reviews cover remote access and large-file sharing, so the setup keeps pace with the business. Coverage extends from the riverside across the wider Bath area. Controls map to Building Regulations, so audits and client checks stay painless. It is plain-English work, sized for Bath rather than enterprise budgets. Local tourism and professional services firms get the same measured service either way. Recovery from issues like remote access to large models is written down and tested, not assumed. We integrate with AutoCAD and the wider stack BIM coordinators already use. Onboarding starts by learning AutoCAD before anything is changed.

IT Support for Architecture

What is managed IT support?

Understanding the difference between reactive break-fix and proactive managed IT - and why it matters for your architecture business.

Beyond break-fix

Managed IT support is a proactive approach to maintaining your business technology. Rather than waiting for something to break and then calling for help, a managed IT support provider continuously monitors, maintains and optimises your entire IT environment - preventing issues before they cause downtime, data loss or productivity drops.

With a managed IT support service, your architecture business gets access to a full team of qualified IT engineers, an IT helpdesk for day-to-day issues, scheduled maintenance to keep systems healthy, and strategic guidance to align your technology with your business goals - all for a predictable monthly cost.

Who is it for?

Managed IT support is ideal for architecture businesses that don't have a dedicated internal IT department, or businesses that want to supplement their existing IT staff with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. Outsourced IT support gives you the coverage and capability of an entire IT team at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.

Whether you're a 10-person architecture office or a 200-person company, our IT support packages scale to match. We handle the technology so you can focus on running your business.

Our support plan

Proactive monitoring, security, maintenance and expert helpdesk support - everything your architecture business needs to run without IT headaches.

01

Monitoring

Ongoing performance monitoring of your devices to establish baselines, deliver alerts when business-critical services stop working and provide transparent accountability on network health. We monitor any number of critical processes depending on your chosen support package.

02

Managed Anti-Virus

Software and service inclusive security - real-time protection from malware, viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits. Through our console we identify and respond to threats in real time, often before you're aware of them and before they can spread across your network.

03

Patch Management

Microsoft operating system and Office application patches managed across your environment in accordance with your update policy. We maintain central records of device patch history, reducing interruptions and keeping your staff working at peak efficiency with up-to-date, secure systems.

04

Scheduled Maintenance

Regular defragmentation, disk clean-ups, critical system log review, cache clean-ups and monitoring maintenance. Essential for a stable, optimised environment - reducing interruptions, maintaining performance and extending the life of your equipment to maximise your investment.

05

Remote Support

Helpdesk engineers available 8:30am to 6pm (UK time) via email, phone or web portal. Your dedicated team includes L1 engineers certified for desktop operating systems and L2 engineers fully certified for server, network and cloud platforms. All issues tracked and logged for consistent results.

06

Onsite Support

Whether you need infrequent on-demand visits or regular scheduled onsite presence, we tailor a support package to suit. Through our onsite management service we ensure peace of mind, increased staff productivity and enhanced IT performance across your business.

07

Dedicated Account Manager

A dedicated account manager allocated to you for an ongoing, direct point of contact and a superior level of support. No chasing numbers or people - one person who knows your business, your infrastructure and your priorities inside out.

08
