Onsite and Remote Support

With IT systems now central to many business functions, having good support is essential to maintaining those systems in good condition.

The type of support which you need will depend upon the nature and scale of your IT systems.

 

Support options from Active IT Support include:

Non-Critical Incident-Based Support
Critical Systems Support
On-Call Out-of-Hours Support

 

For non-critical systems, we can offer incident-based support, whereby you call us when a problem occurs and we will assist in diagnosing and fixing the problem.For critical systems, we would recommend setting up an annual support contract, which will give you piece-of-mind that the support resources which you require will be available when you need them.

On-Call Out-of-Hours Support is the highest level of support, in which we act as the first line of contact for your users during times when your IT dept is closed.  This requires a high level of engagement from Active IT Support engineers.

Our Work

Case Study: Allowing remote workers to get access to central systems

The Challenge

The customer was establishing a number of new offices, and needed the staff at these offices to be able to access all the facilities currently available at the main office.

 

Our Solution
We designed a system using thin client terminals which could be installed at the remote sites and linked into the main system using VPN over the internet, to provide the required functionality.

However, it was also important that the remote sites could be quickly established without the need for IT staff to travel to each site to set it up.

To achieve this, we devised a scripted install procedure and an equipment pack including thin client terminals, printers, VPN client hardware, switches and cabling which could be sent to the site.

A local IT engineer could easily set up the site using the scripted install procedure.

We also provided a user guide for the staff, and guides for the applications so that they could start using the system immediately.

Case Study: Preventing virus infection

The Challenge

The customer needed to extend Internet access and email to all staff, whilst ensuring that they were protected against viruses which could arrive by email, or by direct exposure of workstations to the Internet.

 

Our Solution

We installed an Internet firewall/router to enable internet access, and configured workstations to use this.  We updated and expanded the email system to cover all staff, and installed an anti-spam filter.

We installed a server-based Antivirus console, which took control of the anti-virus settings on each computer, ensuring that each computer was kept up to date, with no operator or user involvement required on a day-to-day basis.

We monitor the anti-virus console remotely, and are able to see the current status of the anti-virus software on each computer, and take action if we see a problem arising.  The console also advised us of any intercepted viruses.
