Before you submit a ticket

IT support — quick answers

Common questions about how our helpdesk and technical support works.

When should I use live chat vs submit a ticket?

Use live chat for anything time-critical while the helpdesk is staffed (Mon–Fri 07:00–20:00) — outages, lockouts, suspected security incidents. Submit a ticket for everything else, or any time outside chat hours, so we have a written record and can route it to the right specialist. Urgent out-of-hours tickets page the on-call engineer.

Do you provide out-of-hours emergency support?

Yes. P1 and P2 incidents are covered by 24/7 IT support, 365 days a year, including weekends and public holidays. Submit a ticket — out-of-hours P1 and P2 tickets are routed straight to the on-call engineer. Out-of-hours coverage is part of every managed IT services agreement.

Where are your engineers based?

Our remote IT support helpdesk operates globally across multiple time zones, so the helpdesk is always staffed. On-site technicians cover the metropolitan area your contract specifies — typically same-day for clients within a 60-minute drive of our regional offices.

My Cisco AnyConnect won't connect — what should I try first?

Try the troubleshooting guide on the VPN page first — about 80% of connection issues are resolved by restarting the Cisco Secure Client service or rebooting. If those don't work, submit a ticket with the exact error message text.

Which industries do you typically work with?

Professional services (legal, finance, accountancy), healthcare, manufacturing and logistics, property and real estate, and technology/SaaS firms. Anywhere downtime costs the business money and security can't be optional. See our full managed IT services list for what we cover.

Do you sign NDAs before discussing our setup?

Yes — happily. Mention it on the first contact and we'll send a mutual NDA before any technical or commercial conversation.
