Core IT & Managed Services

Managed IT operations that run on clear SLAs, not best effort — service desk, patching, backup/DR and endpoint management, scoped the way an operations team actually works.

What this practice covers

Where we actually help.

01

Service desk & SLA management

A real ticketing process with defined severity tiers and response/resolution SLAs — not an inbox that quietly absorbs requests.

02

Patch & endpoint management

Scheduled patching with a staged rollback plan, and endpoint visibility across every device, not just the ones someone remembers to check.

03

Backup, DR & continuity

Backups that are actually tested for restore, with an RTO/RPO your business — not your backup vendor's default — decided on.

Questions

Before you dig in.

How is this different from the Core IT & Managed Services page?

The service page describes what we deliver as an ongoing managed engagement. This Knowledge Hub section is free reference material — a readiness checklist you can use yourself, with the glossary and articles that explain the reasoning behind it.

Is this only relevant once we already outsource IT operations?

No — the readiness checklist is just as useful for tightening an in-house IT operation (clear SLAs, a real service desk process, documented patching and backup discipline) as it is for scoping a managed services engagement.
