Different Areas of IT Support Explained


IT support is essential for the smooth running of any business or organisation that relies on technology to deliver its services or products. At help4IT, we provide a range of IT support packages to help organisations keep their hardware, software, and network infrastructure running efficiently with minimal downtime for staff and operations.  

Here we explain the different areas of IT support and how partnering with us can help you to manage these areas far more effectively.

How do you assist with hardware support?

Hardware support is an essential component of any IT support package. IT companies provide hardware support services to help organisations keep their hardware running smoothly. At help4IT, we provide hardware support in several ways, including:

  • On-site Support – where we arrange for one of our engineers to attend on-site to help fix hardware-related issues. This type of support is particularly useful for organisations that have many hardware devices that require maintenance and repair.
  • Remote support – where we provide support to our clients using remote access tools. This type of support is particularly useful for organisations that require ad-hoc assistance with smaller numbers of devices.
  • Preventive maintenance – much of the work we do at help4IT is around helping clients to prevent hardware-related issues. This type of support involves regular inspections, cleaning, and testing of hardware devices to ensure they are running smoothly.

How do you assist with software support?

Software support is another critical aspect of any IT support package. At help4IT, we provide software support services to help our clients keep their software up-to-date and running as expected. We regularly assist our clients with:

  • Software installation – if a client is introducing new software into the business, we can help ensure that it is rolled out correctly across all device types.
  • Software updates – we often assist our clients with licensing renewals, updates, and training for new staff members. This type of support is important because software updates can fix security vulnerabilities, improve software performance, and enable staff to work more efficiently.
  • Software troubleshooting – if our clients are having trouble with any aspect of their software, our team provides support in identifying the root cause of the problem and providing a solution to fix it.

How do you assist with network infrastructure management?

Network infrastructure management is critical to operational efficiency, particularly for larger-sized businesses. At help4IT, we assist our clients with:

  • Network design – this involves identifying the hardware and software required to build the network and designing the network topology.
  • Network installation – this involves installing the hardware and software required to build the network and configuring the network settings.
  • Network monitoring – this involves using network monitoring tools to identify network-related issues and provide a solution to fix them.

How do you assist with cloud computing?

Cloud computing has become a popular way for organisations to store and access data and applications. At help4It, we help our clients with cloud computing through cloud support services such as:

  • Cloud migration – this involves identifying the data and applications that need to be migrated and selecting the appropriate cloud provider.
  • Cloud management – this involves monitoring the cloud infrastructure to ensure it is running smoothly and providing a solution to fix any issues.
  • Cloud security – this involves implementing appropriate security measures such as firewalls and data encryption.

How do you assist with mobile device management?

Mobile devices have become an essential part of business operations, and IT companies can help organisations manage their mobile devices by providing mobile device management (MDM) services. At help4IT, we often assist our clients with MDM services such as:

  • Device configuration – this involves selecting and configuring a range of mobile devices to meet the demands of the client’s business.
  • Security management – mobile devices present a significant security risk so it’s important to ensure all devices are secure by implementing appropriate security measures such as passcodes, encryption, and remote wipe capabilities.
  • Application management – this involves installing and updating applications and ensuring they are secure and compliant with company policies.

How do you assist with cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity has become a top concern for businesses as cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated. At help4IT, we assist our clients with:

  • Risk assessments – helping to identify and assess our clients’ cybersecurity risks. This involves analysing their infrastructure, policies, and procedures to identify potential vulnerabilities.
  • Security implementation – including firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems.
  • Incident response – helping our clients respond to cyber incidents. This involves identifying the cause of the incident, containing the damage, and restoring normal operations.
