Managed IT Support
What is included in managed IT support?

The exact services included will depend on your business size, infrastructure and support requirements.
Does Oh-Tech provide remote and onsite IT support?
Yes. Oh-Tech can provide remote assistance for everyday technical issues and onsite support when physical access to your systems or equipment is required.
The right combination of remote and onsite support will be agreed as part of your service plan.
How quickly will Oh-Tech respond to an IT problem?
Response times depend on the urgency of the issue and the service agreement in place.
Critical problems affecting business operations are prioritised, while lower-priority requests are handled according to the agreed service level. Oh-Tech reports that 98% of helpdesk tickets are closed within the agreed SLA.
Can Oh-Tech replace our current IT support provider?

Do you support businesses with multiple locations?
Yes. Oh-Tech can support organisations operating from multiple offices, dealerships, sites or private estates.
The support arrangement can include remote assistance, onsite visits, connectivity management, security and centralised administration.
Cybersecurity
What cybersecurity services does Oh-Tech provide?
Oh-Tech can help businesses improve their cybersecurity through system monitoring, security reviews, device protection, access management, data backup and practical advice.
The recommended solution will depend on your existing systems, business risks and compliance requirements.
Can you review our current cybersecurity setup?
Yes. A review can identify potential vulnerabilities, outdated systems, weak access controls, backup risks and other areas that may expose your business to disruption or data loss.
Following the review, Oh-Tech can recommend practical improvements based on priority and risk.
Do you provide backup and disaster recovery solutions?
Oh-Tech can help businesses review and improve their backup and recovery arrangements.
This may include checking what data is currently backed up, where backups are stored, how frequently they run and how quickly information can be restored after an incident.
Can you help protect employees working remotely?
Yes. Remote-working security can include secure access, device management, multifactor authentication, cloud protection, employee permissions and guidance on safe working practices.
The recommended setup will depend on how your team accesses company systems and data.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud Services
Can Oh-Tech manage our Microsoft 365 environment?
Yes. Oh-Tech can support the management of Microsoft 365 services, user accounts, permissions, email and security settings.
Support can also include reviewing how your organisation currently uses Microsoft 365 and identifying opportunities to improve security and collaboration.
Can you migrate our business to Microsoft 365?
Oh-Tech can help plan and manage a Microsoft 365 migration based on your current email, files, users and business requirements.
A migration plan should be created before work begins to reduce disruption and ensure important information is protected.
