Architecture businesses turn to us when
Their current IT provider doesn't understand CAD and BIM software or the performance demands of design workloads
Revit, AutoCAD, and other design tools are running slowly, costing architects and engineers productive hours every week
They're concerned about the security of commercially sensitive project files, design IP, and client information
Their network can't handle the large file transfers and real-time collaboration required for BIM projects
They need reliable remote access for architects working from construction sites or home, but performance is poor
The practice is growing and IT infrastructure can't keep pace with new hires, project demands, and software licences
Autodesk and other design software licensing is being managed reactively, wasting budget and causing access conflicts
Their rendering and compute resources are inadequate, and they need expert guidance on cloud versus local solutions
They need Cyber Essentials certification or ISO 19650 BIM compliance to meet tender and procurement requirements

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.
