Should I Take Out IT Emergency Cover?

Your IT infrastructure sits at the very centre of your business. Whether you are a start-up company or established market leader, a niche business or one with widespread appeal, or an organisation that works predominantly online or off, the technology you and your staff use is certain to play a vital role. When your technology doesn’t perform as it should do, the business practices and operational processes you rely on every day can quickly become chaotic. As an IT support specialist, we’re one port of call our clients turn to in times of crisis. Whilst prevention is of course better than cure, accidents do happen and disasters do strike. A fact that makes having IT emergency cover in place particularly beneficial.

In this blog post, we take a closer look at the reasons why companies big and small should take out IT emergency cover to protect one of their most important business assets.

Why take out Emergency IT Support for your Business?

Because disasters can and do strike…

The advancement of technology means the IT we rely on day in, day out is more cost effective and efficient than ever. Even if you have the very best hardware and software in place however, problems can occur. IT emergencies come in all shapes and sizes, with power outages, hacker attack, hardware failures, software issues, user errors and poor training among the most common causes of disaster in 2018. Taking out reliable and robust IT emergency cover means you can be prepared for every eventuality.

…at any time

The out of hours support offered by professionals providing IT emergency cover is also invaluable. Those IT disasters after all aren’t restricted to office hours, and can strike at any time to bring down all or any part of your business and its operations. Your emergency IT support contract means you can safeguard your business and its technology around the clock with help and advice available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Increase your uptime for a better service

IT disasters don’t just impact the productivity of your staff. IT emergencies have a direct impact on the customers that do business with you. With the right IT emergency cover you can increase the uptime of your business and provide an even better service to your own customers. No IT professional can guarantee 100% uptime and complete protection against all IT threats. But an experienced partner like ourselves will actively work with you to keep your business and the technology that helps it function in tip top condition.

Having the IT support of Syntec Systems for our SME has been extremely valuable. Most software used is now cloud-based so having technical support and advice more critical than ever to our business. Syntec provides the necessary back-up and solutions fast, to keep our company running smoothly.

Church Growth Trust recently benefited from the excellent service and support provided by Syntec Systems to enable us to expand our operations to include another converted barn office detached from our current office space. Swift and professional advice was received and we will be asking them to help us again.

Brilliant experience with Syntec. From first coming to the site to view our requirements Martin and Phil have been great throughout. Phil Lockwood has been helpful throughout the migration, finding solutions to minimise the amount of disruption and solving any problems we have had immediately. Would highly recommend.

I have been using Syntec for my support and all computer needs since they established, over 10 years ago, and have had first class expert professional and prompt service. I would recommend their services to anyone, knowing of old how hard it can be to find reliable and professional IT help. Long may it continue!

Our business has used Syntec Systems for a number of years, and from personal experience, they offer a valuable service to bolster in house IT staff and also as an external entity, I cannot recommend Syntec’s services highly enough the team is always available and their response times are impeccable.They offer a wide range of services that most in-house IT team’s would not be able to provide and can help to provide technical knowledge for an existing or upcoming project. Again, I recommend them as a business and their service highly!

Syntec have managed our IT services across all our Corby sites for almost 5 years now. During this time they have delivered on key projects including major server upgrades, interconnectivity between all our sites, warehouse WIFI installations as well as a new phone system. They also handle our day to day support requests and have proved to be extremely reactive to business critical situations. Each project has been carefully considered and executed by the team to ensure minimal disruption to our working operation.
