Hand Over the Whole Function, or Just the Parts You Choose

Outsourcing IT isn't all-or-nothing. Some clients hand us everything, some keep a manager and outsource delivery, and some outsource only what their team can't cover. We'll tell you which fits your situation.

Full, partial, or selective — you choose how much
No lock-in: your data, domains and licences stay yours
We handle the handover from your outgoing provider
SOC 2 Type 2 — auditable as your service provider

How much to hand over

Three Models, and the Middle One Suits Most

Full outsourcing gets pitched most often because it's the largest contract. It isn't always the right answer.

Model one

Fully outsourced

We become the IT department — strategy, delivery, support, and vendor management.

You keepBudget authority and final decisions
We runEverything else, end to end
FitsUnder about 75 staff with no internal IT
No internal IT
Model two

Co-managed

Your team keeps ownership and direction. We cover defined layers so they focus on what only they can do.

You keepStrategy, roadmap, and internal relationships
We runTier one, monitoring, out-of-hours, specialisms
FitsOne IT person, or a small stretched team
Most common
Model three

Selective

One or two functions your team genuinely can't cover, and nothing more.

You keepDay-to-day IT entirely in-house
We runSecurity, backup, or a named specialism
FitsCapable teams with a specific gap
Targeted
What's covered

The Functions a Department Would Cover

Service desk

Your staff reach a named team who know your environment — by phone or email, not a portal maze.

Monitoring and maintenance

Patching, updates, and health checks running quietly, so most faults are fixed before anyone notices.

Security and compliance

MFA, endpoint protection, and the evidence an insurer or auditor will eventually ask you for.

Backup and recovery

Local and offsite copies with restores actually tested rather than assumed to work.

Vendor management

We deal with your software and telecoms vendors, so your staff stop relaying messages between suppliers.

Planning and budgets

A roadmap and forecast so hardware refresh and licence renewals land in your budget cycle, not as surprises.

Worth asking any provider

Outsourcing Goes Wrong in Predictable Ways

The failures aren't usually technical. They're about ownership, lock-in, and what happens if the relationship ends — which is precisely what nobody discusses while signing.

Ask us these, and ask whoever else you're considering.

Who owns the domain and licences?

They should be in your name, not the provider's. If they aren't, leaving becomes a negotiation. Ours always are yours.

What's the exit process?

Ask before signing. We document the environment throughout, so a handover is a file transfer rather than a reconstruction.

Is documentation shared or hoarded?

Some providers keep environments undocumented deliberately. You should have access to yours at any time.

Who do we actually speak to?

A named team who know your setup, or a rotating pool who read notes. It changes the experience entirely.

What's genuinely included?

Get the boundary in writing — what's covered, what's billable, and what response times apply by severity.

Getting started

Nothing Moves Until a Pilot Group Proves It

1

Audit

A full picture of what you have — hardware, licences, accounts, backups. Usually the first accurate inventory in years.

2

Plan and pilot

A dated plan, then a small group onboarded first so the process is proven on real users before anyone commits.

3

Transition

Everyone else moves in scheduled waves, with our staff on site during the changeover.

4

Steady state

Regular reviews, a roadmap, and reporting — so you can see what you're getting rather than hoping.

We deal with your outgoing provider directly — recovering domain control, admin credentials, and licence ownership is the part clients dread and it shouldn't be their job.

Questions, answered

Outsourced IT FAQs

Will we lose control of our own IT?

You shouldn't, and if a provider's arrangement means you do, that's a reason to walk. Your domains, licences, and data stay in your name. Decisions and budget stay with you. We're accountable for delivery, not ownership.

What if we want to leave?

You get the documentation, the credentials, and a clean handover. We'd rather you stayed because leaving would be a downgrade than because it would be painful — a contract is a poor substitute for doing good work.

Is outsourcing cheaper than hiring?

Usually below about 75 staff, once you count salary, benefits, tools, training, and holiday cover — and one hire can't cover the breadth anyway. Above that it's less clear-cut, and co-managed often beats both.

We have one IT person. Are you replacing them?

No, and we'd usually advise against it. They hold institutional knowledge you can't buy back. Co-managed keeps them on the work only they can do while we cover volume, out-of-hours, and specialisms.

How is it priced?

Per user per month for ongoing support, so it scales with headcount and is predictable for budgeting. Projects are quoted separately. We'll give you a real figure early rather than after three meetings.

What are the response times?

Contracted by severity and written into the agreement rather than described vaguely. A broken laptop and a business that can't invoice are different priorities, and the agreement should say so explicitly.

Our current provider is difficult. Can you handle the switch?

Yes, and we do it regularly. We know what to ask for — domain control, admin credentials, licence ownership, backup access — and we chase it methodically so you're not negotiating with a provider you're leaving.
