Why you should choose Westlake IT
to outsource your IT support services

By choosing Westlake IT, you join a family of qualified engineers, expert project managers and business directors that will provide you with the right IT strategy and support services so your business flourishes. We’ve been providing IT support services to businesses like yours since 2005 and many of our customers who joined us early on are still with us today.

Focus on your core business

For the majority of businesses, large or small, it’s vital to focus on your core business and ensure your overhead costs are minimised.

The right IT for you

A good MSP will get under the bonnet of your business deploying IT solutions that support you in obtaining your business objectives.

Cost containment

It is expensive to employ a dedicated resource. Outsourced IT support is easy to scale up or down. You can draw on a pool of resources with different types of expertise from Helpdesk support to IT infrastructure monitoring and maintenance.

IT Support Expertise

It is challenging to keep internally employed IT resources trained to the level of expertise required to do the job, as technology constantly evolves.

Better Security

Disaster recovery and back up are not a ‘one size fits all’ solution. Businesses using cloud technologies will need to use a different type of backup solution to those with on-premise servers

The right licensing

Let’s take Microsoft Office as an example. Microsoft sell Home and Business versions of their Office solutions. In addition, each suite of Microsoft 365 Small Business or Enterprise products contains several plans and options. The right license type with the right set of features is not always easy to find.

Enhanced focus on Compliance

GDPR and sector-specific regulatory requirements will impact where and how your data is stored and who can access it. For example, if your data is stored using cloud technology then you need to make sure that the country where it is stored has GDPR compliant ‘safeguards’ in place.

IT Asset Management

PC procurement, installation and disposal services are just one facet of IT Asset Management. A major advantage is the ability to produce rolling PC replacement programmes and auditing services that ensure your PC estate is operating optimally, minimising downtime and enabling your employees to keep working.

    Breakdown of Our IT Support Features

    Remote IT
    Support

    Our remote support package gives you unlimited access to our Helpdesk on business days. Whether you call or email, your incident will be logged and dealt with by one of our team of experts. 

    Because we’re an SME, you’ll get to know our Engineers by name and they will remember you too. We’re friendly and approachable, and we try to minimise the techy-talk and just get on with fixing your issue.

    On-Site IT
    Support

    We offer a Business Premium Support Package for customers who want on-site support. This service gives peace of mind that you can have an Engineer on-site if an issue occurs that can’t be resolved remotely. 

    Where possible, we’ll send out your Technical Key Point of Contact. If your key contact is unavailable, a qualified outsourced IT support expert will arrive with you, fully briefed and ready to help.

    Guaranteed Response Times

    We believe it’s important you know how quickly we will respond when you report a problem with your IT, and how quickly we will fix it. For this reason, we provide detailed Service Level Agreements to all our clients.

    In addition, our IT Helpdesk system, AutoTask, enables us to track Tickets. AutoTask ensures our SLA response times are met and our Engineers are aware of the priority status of all their work at all times.

    Account Management

    Your Account Manager will operate as the lead point of contact for any and all matters specific to your business. Their role is to build and maintain trusted and long-lasting relationships with your key people. 

    Your Account Manager is responsible for ensuring the timely and successful delivery of our solutions according to your needs and objectives.

    Technical Key Point of Contact

    You will have a dedicated IT Infrastructure Engineer whose role is to:

    • Understand your IT systems in depth
    • Ensure that knowledge is captured and shared with the Helpdesk team
    • Conduct site visits
    • Provide ongoing IT infrastructure monitoring and maintenance services

    Your Technical Key Point of Contact will always be the lead Engineer on implementing IT Projects – such as migrating your IT Infrastructure to the Cloud.

    Site
    Visits

    The purpose of site visits is to provide maintenance and troubleshooting services. Whether we visit you annually or monthly, your Technical Key Point of Contact will agree, in advance, what tasks will be completed during the visit. 

    We’re also flexible; so if something crops up on the day, we’ll do our best to resolve it for you there and then.

    WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

    Our ITIL-driven Operational Model and Best Practice Processes

    ITIL is a set best practices that focus on aligning IT services with the needs of the customer. We combine service desk technologies, tried and tested processes, and the expertise of our Engineers to deliver service excellence which we tailor to the needs of each customer.  

    Automated Ticket Allocation & Resolution Tracking

    Every incident or service request is logged, assigned and tracked in our Professional Service Automation (PSA) system, AutoTask, which underpins everything we do. It provides a solid backbone to our daily operations.
