Why this one

Every organisation runs IT.

Above a certain size, outsourcing all of it stops being the cheaper option. This builds first line and second line capability in house.

What they will be able to do

  • Diagnosing and resolving faults across hardware and software
  • Networks, connectivity and the basics of infrastructure
  • Security practice, access control and safe working
  • Ticketing, prioritisation and communicating with users
  • Documenting what was done so the next person can follow it
