What is IT administration?
Proactive, not reactive
IT administration is the ongoing, proactive management of your business IT infrastructure. Unlike reactive IT support where you call when something breaks, IT administration involves scheduled onsite visits by a dedicated IT administrator who maintains, optimises and improves your systems before problems occur — reducing downtime, improving performance and extending the life of your equipment.
Our IT administration service covers patch management, security audits, system health checks, network monitoring, vendor management and strategic IT guidance — all delivered through regular scheduled visits from your dedicated Cloudswitched engineer for your aviation business.
Who needs IT administration?
IT administration is ideal for aviation businesses that need regular, hands-on IT maintenance but don't have a full-time IT person on staff. It's also valuable for businesses that have an internal IT person but need specialist support for infrastructure, security and strategic planning.
If your aviation business experiences recurring IT issues, slow systems, security concerns, or simply wants someone proactively looking after the technology, our IT administration service provides the expertise you need on a predictable schedule.
