An outsourced IT team: one place to call when something stops.
We run your day-to-day IT: remote and onsite help desk, computers, network, servers and backup. Instead of a black box you get a documented system — and one address for every report.
A contract with a clear scope; response times defined by contract
05 · Pitfalls
What usually goes wrong — and how we avoid it.
PITFALL 01
IT without an owner
As long as IT is “everyone’s and no one’s”, problems go in circles. Step one is giving every report an owner and a history — hence tickets, not group chats.
PITFALL 02
The previous contractor’s black box
We take over undocumented systems too: first an inventory and a no-change review, then changes — each with a backup and a way back.
PITFALL 03
Everything on one person
If only one person knows the system, a vacation becomes a risk. Our work is documented, so a handover never starts from zero — ours or yours.
What we don’t promiseWe don’t promise deadlines the contract doesn’t cover: response times are defined by contract, item by item. We don’t sell licenses — they stay yours, as does all documentation.
06 · Example
A typical engagement — how we handle it.
Typical engagement · how we handle it
A company with no internal IT
Situation
Nobody owns IT: whoever is free handles the breakdown, nobody checks the backup, and nothing says how anything was set up.
Approach
Takeover starts with an inventory and documentation, without a single change. Then a help desk as the one place to report to, servers and backup under monitoring, and a test restore.
Resolution
One owner for IT and one address for everything; a backup proven by a test restore; a monthly report management can read. This describes our procedure, not delivered work.

07 · Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What if we already have one IT person?
We work with them: we take over what they can’t get to and cover for them when they’re away. The documentation is shared, so no work is duplicated.
Do you sell licenses?
No. Licenses stay yours; we set up and maintain the system they run on.
What isn’t covered by the contract?
It’s in the contract, item by item: what is included, what is billed separately and how to order it. No hidden items.
How fast do you respond?
Response times are defined by contract, per report priority. For inquiries through this site, we reply within one business day.
Do you work onsite?
Yes — we resolve remotely what can be, and do equipment installs, cabling and visits in person, by contract.
We look at your systems — servers, backup, network or the farm — and write a concrete assessment: what’s fragile, what’s slowing you down and what’s worth fixing first. The review changes nothing, and the report stays yours even if we don’t continue.
