Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about managed IT support? Find answers to the most common questions below, or get in touch with our team.

What is managed IT support?

Managed IT support is a proactive, fully inclusive service where Arc takes responsibility for keeping your IT systems running smoothly. Rather than waiting for something to go wrong, we monitor your systems continuously, resolve issues before they cause disruption, and provide unlimited repairs for a fixed monthly fee covering everything from parts and labour to on-site and remote support.

Is managed IT support suitable for small businesses?

Yes. Managed IT support is built to scale, whether you are a small business with a handful of employees or a larger organisation with more complex needs. Services such as co-managed support and IT manager support can also be tailored to fit smaller teams.

How is managed IT support different from break-fix IT?

With break-fix IT, you only receive help after something has already gone wrong, and costs can be unpredictable. Arc’s managed IT support is proactive, meaning we monitor your systems continuously and address issues before they impact your business.

How quickly does Arc respond to IT issues?

Arc’s helpdesk is available around the clock with faster case resolution times and improved SLA performance as standard. Our 24/7 support service means there are no delays regardless of when an issue arises, and our proactive monitoring means many problems are resolved before your team even notices them.

How long does it take to switch IT support providers?

This depends on the size and complexity of your current IT environment. Get in touch to discuss your setup and we can advise on a realistic timeframe for onboarding with minimal disruption to your business.
