We look after computers for Business Owners!
OK, so that might sound like a bit of a weird statement to put on our page. We look after computers for Business Owners – because you don’t want to! However, you can find out more about why we’re starting to roll out this phrase by reading one of our recent blogposts here What does your business do? In the meantime, what does it mean? Well it means that we take care of your IT Systems within your business. We only bother you with the things you need to know about. Other than that, we’ll deal with it for you. If you have someone in house that we can communicate with rather than you, the business owner, then great, we’ll do just that. We mostly work with businesses from 25 – 50 staff – it’s our bread and butter.
Although we do have customers smaller and larger than that. We work with different people across those organisations. Some businesses nominate an IT contact, some businesses expect their Finance Director (FD) to be responsible for communicating with us. Others want their Operations Director or Manager to deal with it. Either way, we’ll take the hassle away from you and Look after the computers (and all of the associated computers, software and other things) for your business and make it as light-touch as possible for you IF that’s what you want.

For that reason, to keep your business valuable and following best practice, they should be replaced. To add to this though following a planned replacement cycle helps prevent performance issues, reduces security risks, and avoids […]
The most dangerous thing in a server room is often the phrase, “Don’t touch that.”
It’s usually said with a half-joke and a grimace. It refers to the old box that “still works”, runs something important, and has survived so many fixes and workarounds that nobody feels confident changing it anymore.
That’s legacy debt.
Not just “old tech”, but old tech that’s become a dependency. It’s the kind that quietly accumulates risk until it turns into downtime, security exposure, or an emergency upgrade at the worst possible time.
An IT asset register is a central record of the technology your business owns, uses or pays for. It usually includes laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, network equipment, software licences, cloud subscriptions, warranties and support contracts.
In practical terms, it tells you what you have, where it is, who is responsible for it, what it costs and when it needs to be updated, renewed or replaced. For SMEs, that visibility supports stronger security, more accurate budgeting and smoother employee onboarding and offboarding.
This guide explains what an IT asset register should contain, who should manage it, the risks of not having one […]
