The industry changes. The standard doesn't.
Every client gets IT Support, IT Management, Cyber Security, Workplace Productivity, and Business Continuity. No tiers, no stripped-back packages. One agreement, with predictable monthly billing scoped per user, device, and licence.
We don't have different SLAs for different clients. Everyone gets the same fast, human response — because that's the standard we set for ourselves, not a premium add-on.
Every environment is built to the NIST framework. Healthcare, legal, retail: the security architecture is always the same rigorous baseline. No cutting corners for smaller clients.
Based in Wexford. Strongest roots across the South East and Dublin. We support clients across Ireland — and their UK operations where needed.
Home base. Deepest roots, strongest local presence.
When our clients expand, we don't stop at Rosslare. UK, Asia, Australia, the US. Wherever your Irish operation opens a site, your IT support goes with it.
We don't limit ourselves to one sector. Our experience spans 12 industries, from professional services and legal to engineering, healthcare and hospitality. The common thread is businesses with 5 to 200 IT users who need a complete, reliable IT team.
Yes. Our strongest roots are across the South East: Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wicklow, plus Dublin. Remote-first support covers the rest of Ireland; on-site visits are scheduled where it makes sense. When clients expand internationally, their IT goes with them. UK, Asia, Australia, the US.
Our minimum is around 5 IT users. If you're below that, we may not be the right fit for a full managed IT agreement, but get in touch and we'll give you an honest answer.
Not at all. We currently manage clients with 150+ users and devices with ease, and the value of our service tends to compound the larger the organisation gets. More scale means more leverage from standardisation, automation, and a properly run security and continuity programme. If you're at the upper end of our range, an IT review will show exactly where the gains are.
Yes, and we do it regularly. The IT review will give us both a clear picture of your current setup. If it makes sense to move, we manage the full migration, including coordinating with your existing provider, with minimal disruption to your team.
The IT review tells us both what you actually need. No pressure, no obligation.
