Fully managed, not partially covered

A lot of IT providers offer basic support and then charge extra for everything else. We don't work like that.

Our service is designed to be complete, so you are not left with gaps in security or responsibility. Everything is covered and managed properly.

We look after:

Your software and licensing

The right setup for your business

Every business is different. Some are fully cloud based, others still rely on onsite servers, and many use a mix of both. We support and manage all of these environments.

As a Microsoft partner, we build and manage cloud platforms using Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, giving your business a secure and flexible way to work. At the same time, we also provide, install, and support onsite servers where they are needed.

You get the right solution for your business, not a one size fits all approach.

  • Microsoft 365 setup, licensing and management
  • Cloud infrastructure and servers in Azure
  • Onsite server supply, installation and support
  • Hybrid environments combining cloud and on-premises
  • Secure remote access for your team
  • Ongoing optimisation and support

One place for your Microsoft and security licensing

We manage the Microsoft and security licensing that sits within your IT service โ€” making sure you have the right licences in place, that users are correctly provisioned, and that you are not paying for more than you need.

This covers Microsoft 365, security platforms such as Huntress and Defender, and other tools that form part of your managed IT environment.

  • Microsoft 365 licensing and user management
  • Security platform licensing โ€” Huntress, Defender and others
  • User onboarding and offboarding handled promptly
  • Regular review so you are not paying for unused licences
  • Clear visibility of what you have and what it costs

Security is not an add-on. It is built into everything we do.

Most IT providers rely on software alone. We go further.

Our managed service includes multiple layers of protection, backed by a 24-hour, human-led security operations centre that is actively monitoring and responding to threats on your systems.

This means your business is not relying on alerts or automated responses. There are real people actively protecting your systems.

If something goes wrong, you are not starting from scratch

No system is completely risk free, which is why having the right backups in place is essential. We make sure your data is protected and can be recovered if needed.

  • Secure cloud backups for Microsoft 365 and business data
  • Hosted backup services for onsite servers
  • Offsite protection to safeguard against local failures
  • Regular testing of backup systems
  • Fast recovery in the event of data loss or system failure

Parts and labour included

We include parts and labour for supported hardware such as PCs, laptops, and servers. If something fails, we deal with it.

The only exception is equipment that is beyond economical repair, where replacement would be the more sensible option.

A service that grows with you

As your business grows, your IT becomes more important and more complex. Our service is designed to scale with you, whether you are adding more users, expanding your infrastructure, or strengthening your security.

We support businesses from around 10 users through to 500 users, with a structure that works at every stage.

Our clients stay with us because they trust us to do things properly

It is rare for a client to leave us, and that comes down to the level of service we provide every day.

Responsive when it matters โ€” we answer when you need us and deal with things quickly.

Clear and easy to deal with โ€” no jargon, no passing the buck, no scripts.

Thorough in how we set things up โ€” done properly from day one, not patched over time.

Proactive in how we manage systems โ€” we deal with issues before they affect your business.

"Blackwood initially took over our IT support in West Brom, we have since had them install a new server and a complete new telecoms system. They have now taken over our IT support in Hertfordshire. I cannot recommend Blackwood highly enough."
