Business Critical Services
Visually Connected Business Critical Services help businesses stabilise infrastructure, optimise IT operations, telephony and security systems through 24/7 remote monitoring to ensure that all software and hardware items are operating at the optimal level and rapid response when needed.
For many businesses enabling the continuity of critical services with a remote workforce, independent of the office, will be crucial for business continuity. It is essential that employees are supported to ensure that these functions are continued.
The transition to remote working can be made easier with the right communication and collaboration tools to help teams stay visually connected and productive.
Free IT Support for Home Workers
The Coronavirus has compelled companies to embrace remote working and, in many cases without the time to properly prepare for the technical challenges home working presents. We are pleased to offer free IT and video conferencing support for businesses with homeworking teams for up to 3 months to enable them to stay connected, productive and collaborate securely.
Video Conferencing
It has become apparent during these challenging times that video conferencing is not just important, it is essential for effective communication in times of crisis as demonstrated by the recent Number 10 briefings about the coronavirus. The ability to be visually connected with your workforce is a highly effective method of relaying business critical information and to support day-to-day operations across a dispersed workforce.
Many companies already have facilities set up to deliver Town Hall meetings between international locations, and the current situation has shown how vital video conferencing is to enable workforces to communicate when faced geographical challenges. With a dedicated room within your organisation set up for this purpose, you can ensure vital communication takes place, with the opportunity to have Q&A with the audience. Coupled with live streaming to social media and other platforms, it becomes a very powerful tool.
What’s more, we can also integrate this technology to stream out content to screens throughout your organisation wherever your people are in the world.
Interactive Monitoring, Self-Healing, Remote Access & Software Maintenance
Our pro-active maintenance and monitoring system can keep an eye on crucial systems even if no one is available to attend to them. We can ensure crucial updates are delivered and applied, and we can carry out preventative maintenance and crucial fixes.
Full reports and alerts can be delivered to your inbox giving peace of mind that everything will stay running.
Our pro-active system will even automatically raise tickets upon certain events, such as a cable or device disconnection. One connectivity is restored, the case will be resolved and closed.
This technology works across many devices and many platforms.

Five essential tools for remote working:
Instant Messaging Platform
Communication is key to success when managing remote teams. Remote workers cannot visit a co-workers desk or book a meeting room. You will need a tool that allows for instant, real-time communication such as Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Hangouts.
Video Conferencing
Face-to-face communication is essential for team collaboration and engagement. We can help you find the right video conferencing tool that encourages collaboration, engagement and performance.
Cloud-based Communication
Cloud-based communication is an essential component of our workday and can be very beneficial when you incorporate remote teams in your workforce. Store your organization’s data in a secure, centralized database to keep information flowing across areas of the business regardless of employee location.
Password Manager
Are you confident that every employee consistently adheres to company policy to ensure passwords are secure and that they are not using the same passwords for multiple tools, let alone their child’s birth date? Mitigate security risks by deploying an online password manager to keep employees’ passwords safe and secure.
