Co-managed IT in Newmarket
Your IT person knows your business better than any outside provider ever will. Co-managed IT gives them a team to lean on: proper tools, security and backup monitoring, help with the hard problems and cover when they are on leave, without replacing them.
Onsite technicians cover Newmarket. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Co-managed IT for Newmarket businesses
Newmarket combines a major retail centre on Broadway with mid-rise office buildings, specialist medical and dental rooms, fashion head offices and professional firms along Khyber Pass Road and Carlton Gore Road. Retail and office teams often sit in the same business.
Businesses here commonly juggle two very different needs: point-of-sale and payment terminals in a shop that must never go down, and a back office running Microsoft 365, finance and design software. Medical and dental rooms hold patient records that need careful access control, encrypted devices and backups that are actually tested.
We agree the split in writing, so everyone knows who does what and nothing falls between two chairs. Your IT person keeps full admin access and visibility of everything we do. When they are sick or on leave, we already know the setup and can keep things running until they return. We meet regularly with your IT person to review alerts, projects and anything that is ageing, so they have a colleague to think problems through with rather than carrying every decision on their own.
Our technicians come to Newmarket shops, clinics and offices for setups, network work and hardware faults, and handle most day-to-day requests remotely. Store work can be planned before opening hours to avoid disrupting trade.
What's included
Shared management tools
Your IT person gets access to our monitoring, patching, remote support and documentation tools rather than buying and maintaining their own.
Second-line escalation
Our technicians and specialists on hand for difficult network, server, Microsoft 365 or security problems.
Security monitoring
Threat detection alerts, sign-in risks and email security watched by our team, with serious issues raised with your IT person straight away.
Help desk overflow
Staff requests passed to us during busy periods or projects, so your IT person can focus on the work that needs their knowledge.
Backup oversight
Backup jobs checked each working day and test restores done on schedule, so one person isn't responsible for noticing every failure.
Shared documentation
One set of up-to-date notes on your systems, so knowledge stays in the business if people change.
Is it right for your Newmarket office?
Co-managed IT tends to suit businesses where:
- One IT person looks after 20 to 75 staff on their own
- Your IT person can't take leave without things piling up
- Security and backups depend on one person remembering to check them
- A big project is coming that needs more hands than you have
- Your IT person wants better tools than the budget allows on its own
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Co-managed IT in Newmarket: questions
Can you look after both our shop and our office?
Yes. We keep the store network separate from the office network so a problem in one does not take out the other, and we look after the POS computers, receipt printers and Wi-Fi alongside your office laptops. Payment terminals stay with your bank or terminal provider, and we make sure the network they need works.
What do specialist rooms in Newmarket need to protect patient records?
Multi-factor sign-in, encrypted laptops, sensible access permissions in the practice software and a backup that is tested by restoring from it. We set those up and check them regularly, keeping within what your software vendor supports.
Does our IT person keep admin access?
Yes. They keep full access and can see every ticket, alert and change we make. We work in the same documentation, so nothing is hidden.
Can we use you just for projects?
Yes. Some businesses use us only for project work and leave cover, billed at the hourly rate or quoted in writing first, with no monthly plan.
Who decides who does what?
We agree a written responsibility list with your IT person and management at the start, covering support, security, backups, projects and vendors. It is reviewed as needs change.
Will this replace our IT person?
No. The point is to support them, not replace them. Your IT person stays in charge of your systems and their relationships with staff; we add tools, depth and cover around them.
