Managed IT.

When IT support becomes too reactive, users lose time, recurring issues persist and internal teams get pulled away from bigger priorities.

Fully managed or co-managed IT adds the capacity you need, with responsive support, proactive monitoring, technical escalation and ongoing service management for office, remote and hybrid teams.

how support works

Support that works around your people.

Your users should know where to go when something stops working, but good managed IT should do more than respond to tickets. It should give people a clear route for help while keeping day-to-day issues from disrupting the working day.

Behind the scenes, recurring problems need to be spotted, updates applied, devices monitored and risks kept visible before they become bigger issues. The service combines responsive support with proactive management, clear escalation and regular oversight.

When something needs deeper expertise, it can move beyond the Service Desk quickly, while monitoring, reviews and planned maintenance help reduce avoidable disruption over time.

Support where you need it

Give office, remote and hybrid users one clear route for everyday IT issues, requests and technical support wherever they are working.

Proactive system monitoring

Keep servers and workstations visible so health, updates and recurring issues can be managed before they cause unnecessary disruption for your teams.

Clear technical escalation

Move more complex issues beyond the first line quickly, with specialist technical escalation available when deeper expertise is needed.

Ongoing service reviews

Health checks, account management and regular reviews help to keep recurring issues, emerging risks and future improvement priorities front of mind.

what we manage

Day-to-day support with wider ownership around it.

Managed IT should make it obvious to your users where to go for help, so everyday IT questions and issues do not keep landing with the same internal team.

With clear ownership of agreed services, your users have one route for support while your internal team can still see ticket status, responses and progress. That keeps visibility in-house without having to manage every request themselves.

01

Everyday user support

Support everyday user issues, laptops, desktops, joiners, leavers, licences, access and core Microsoft services across the working day.

02

Monitoring and patching

Monitor supported systems and devices, manage patches and security updates and act on issues that need attention before they create disruption.

03

Backup and recovery

Keep backup monitoring and recovery requirements visible so critical systems and data are understood, protected and easier to recover after an incident.

04

Network and supplier support

Support agreed network and WiFi issues, procurement and third-party suppliers so your teams have fewer hand-offs and less coordination to manage.

support options

Choose the level of support your business needs.

Not every organisation needs the same support model. Some need a dependable helpdesk and proactive monitoring. Others need greater ownership, onsite resource and strategic input.

Both plans can support ongoing readiness by helping maintain device records, patching, security updates, backup monitoring, access processes and technical documentation.

TECHNOLOGY partners

Trusted technology behind your IT support.

We use established platforms from Microsoft, NinjaOne, KeepIt and Keeper to help monitor devices, manage updates, protect access and support backup and recovery.

The technology works behind the scenes to give our team better visibility across your environment, helping us spot issues, respond faster and keep important controls under review, while you continue to deal with just dbfb as your managed IT partner.

NinjaOne

Proactive monitoring and device management give the support team clearer visibility across servers and work stations, helping manage updates and spot issues earlier.

KeepIt

Independent Microsoft 365 backup can add another layer of protection around cloud data, giving recovery options when information is deleted, corrupted or otherwise needs restoring.

Microsoft 365

User, licence and security administration can sit alongside everyday support, helping your teams get more consistent value from the Microsoft environment they already use.

Keeper

Password and access management can help users handle credentials more securely while giving the business greater control over how sensitive access is managed.

why dbfb

Less firefighting. More confidence in your IT.

Good IT support should make the working day feel easier, not give your teams another supplier to manage. The difference is having clearer ownership, better visibility and people who understand how your technology fits together.

That means less chasing when something goes wrong, fewer gaps between suppliers and better decisions about what needs attention now and what can wait.

01

A clear route for help and support

Give your users and internal teams a clear route for help, with less time spent working out which supplier, system or service is responsible.

02

Understand what needs your attention

Keep recurring issues, ticket trends, risks and upcoming requirements visible so decisions are based on what is actually happening across your estate.

03

Make more informed IT decisions

Use regular reviews and practical advice to understand where to invest, what to replace and which changes will make the biggest difference.

04

One partner for all your IT needs

Connect IT with other services it relies on, reducing the number of separate suppliers your teams need to coordinate and manage for your teams.
