What are managed IT services?
Your business might be dependent on the smooth functioning of computer technology, including software and hardware.
If you were a gardener, your efficiency and your capacity to work hard and thoroughly would depend on regularly servicing your lawnmower and sharpening your secateurs. If you were a builder, all of your power operated tools would need to be regularly checked, to ensure they could be safely used to professionally complete a project.

Managed IT Support Services
You can’t be in business without a reliance on computer systems. In the past, the fear of spending money on IT has put a lot of small companies in a mindset where they will only engage an IT company when something breaks. That way, it appears that you only spend money you absolutely need to.
It is interesting for IT professionals to see, for example, a trucking company understand the value of regular maintenance and servicing of its fleet, but essentially ignore IT systems by waiting until an engine seizes up because it has run out of oil. Many IT problems can be prevented and the cost of those disasters are avoidable.
Overwhelming but too important to ignore
It is only reasonable for small businesses to focus on their core service delivery. They do what they are good at and what they understand. Managers will engage accountants, lawyers and other professionals throughout the operation of their company in a pro-active and regular fashion but ignore IT until a problem can no longer be ignored. By then, it is a major disruption and cost to your company.
Multi-platform Expertise (phones, tablets, computers, cloud)
You may be lucky enough to have someone on staff that are capable of doing the most basic things but IT infrastructure has moved on from “a few PCs.” Businesses need to integrate smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Data needs to be secure, on multiple devices, in the cloud and to be instantly accessible from almost anywhere. That’s a big call for someone who is employed to do other jobs. Our managed IT services model covers all technologies and you can let your local expert get on with the job they were actually employed for.
IT Security Services
Preventing Ransomware, Malware, Viruses and Hacking
The most important way to fight back against the constant IT security threat is fairly mundane: keep all your software up to date. No matter how diligent you are with the software you understand, it takes only one phone, computer, server or system that falls behind for your company to be compromised.
Many companies have zero problems on this front but that doesn’t come from using the old method of hoping for the best and then “getting someone in” once it is your turn to deal with the IT nightmare.
You can’t know the true cost of your next IT disaster though there is a potential for complete data loss or being unable to operate essential systems for days. Those events can have severe financial consequences. Managed IT services are part of your risk management strategy where you eliminate preventable IT related service problems rather than blindly waiting for the next one to strike.
Tabard IT Limited Managed IT Services
Although Tabard IT uses remote support and monitoring technology to be able to deliver cost-effective managed services, you need to consider the numerous benefits that come from dealing with a local IT company.
Apart from being able to sit at a table and have a meeting when you want to, you don’t have to chase some faceless, person from overseas, to whom you are just another job on a call-centre screen. Sometimes you do need someone to come in and physically inspect, install, configure or fix something. The support call representative is likely to tie you up on the phone or a chat box for hours, telling you to do his job for him.
In simple terms, you want a full-time, reliable IT company that partners with you to address issues with your IT and deliver high quality managed IT services that are perfect, cost-effective and easy. You want to get on with running your business and doing what you are good at. Let Tabard IT do what we are good at. We keep the IT wolves from your door and if disaster strikes, we will know you, care and would be right there.
