The problem we solve

When IT just reacts, you pay for it twice.

Most providers wait for something to break, fix it, and bill you. You get downtime, repeat problems, and no sense of where your technology is heading. We work the other way round, preventing problems, and building toward where your organisation is going.

Support that answers

Real people, on whatever channel suits you.

When something is not working, you want a real person quickly, not a ticket lost in a queue. Reach us however suits you.

  • Live chat, email, phone or the client portal
  • A real engineer, never an offshore call centre
  • Unlimited helpdesk support, included as standard
  • One team that already knows your setup
Proactive by default

We fix most problems before you notice them.

Good IT support is not just about reacting quickly, it is about stopping issues happening at all. We monitor your systems 24/7 and manage updates and security patches automatically across your operating systems and third-party software, so the small problems that cause big outages get caught and fixed early.

24/7 monitoring and automated patching, so problems are caught before they reach you.

Onsite when it matters

Not everything can be fixed down the wire.

Most issues we resolve remotely, but when you need someone there, we are.

  • Scheduled technician visits to keep things running
  • Emergency call-outs when something cannot wait
  • Priority support for leadership and critical staff
Strategy, not just support

A partner who plans ahead, not just patches up.

Technology should support where your organisation is going, not just keep the lights on. Our vCIO service gives you an annual technology review and roadmap, quarterly strategic reviews, and 3 to 5 year lifecycle and budget planning across both capital and operating spend, so you are never caught out by surprise costs or ageing kit.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

What does managed IT support from PrimaryTech include?

Managed IT support gives you a complete, outsourced IT department: unlimited helpdesk support as standard, 24/7 system monitoring, automated updates and security patching, scheduled on-site visits and emergency call-outs, and strategic technology planning through a virtual CIO. You reach a real engineer by live chat, phone, email or client portal, never an offshore call centre, from one team that knows your setup. Rather than waiting for things to break, we prevent problems before they disrupt your business.

Should I outsource my IT or hire someone in-house?

It depends on your size and needs, but for most small and medium organisations outsourcing gives you more for less. A single in-house IT person is one salary plus holiday, sickness and a single point of failure, and no one person can cover helpdesk, cyber security, networking, cloud and strategy well. Not every organisation needs a full-time cyber specialist, project manager, networking engineer and cloud expert, but most need access to all those skills at some point. Outsourcing gives you that whole team, and 24/7 cover that does not stop when one person is off, without the full-time cost of employing each skill. If you already have in-house IT, a co-managed model combines both: your person handles what they do best while we cover the rest.

What is the difference between managed IT and break-fix support?

Break-fix means you only call for help when something breaks, and you pay each time; managed IT means continuous, proactive support for a predictable monthly fee. With break-fix, your provider earns more when things go wrong, so there is no incentive to prevent problems. With managed IT, we monitor and maintain your systems 24/7 to stop issues before they happen, which means less downtime and no surprise invoices. For any organisation that relies on its technology, managed IT works out more reliable and usually more cost-effective.

How much does managed IT support cost?

Business IT support is priced on a per-user model that covers support, licensing, software and even hardware in one predictable monthly cost; schools are priced on a per-pupil model instead. Because the right level depends on your organisation, pricing follows a free IT health check with no obligation, so you get an accurate figure for your setup before committing. There are no surprise bills, you know your IT cost every month.

How quickly does PrimaryTech respond to IT issues?

Our average resolution time is 1.41 hours. Support runs on a three-tier SLA. For business: Critical issues within 1 hour, High within 4 hours, Standard by the next business day. For co-managed education: Critical within 1 hour, High within 4 hours, Standard within 8 hours; for education without co-management: Critical within 4 hours, High within 8 hours, Standard within 32 hours. Enhanced SLA upgrades are available, and priority is always given to leadership and business-critical staff.

What happens to my business if my IT goes down?

That depends entirely on how your IT is managed, which is exactly why proactive support matters. With managed IT, 24/7 monitoring catches many issues before they cause an outage, and if something does go down our SLA means Critical issues are responded to within 1 hour for business clients, backed by immutable backups and tested disaster recovery. Disaster recovery planning is built in through our virtual CIO service, which is included with all our Education support and our enhanced business support. Without proactive support and a recovery plan, downtime can mean lost revenue, lost data and lost customer trust. A free IT health check will show you where you stand today.

Can PrimaryTech support a business that already has internal IT?

Yes. We offer co-managed IT that works alongside your in-house team, handling day-to-day support, monitoring and patching so your own staff can focus on projects and priorities. You choose how much we take on, and your person gets a whole team behind them rather than carrying everything alone.

Does PrimaryTech plan for future IT costs, not just day-to-day support?

Yes. Through our virtual CIO service you get an annual technology review and roadmap, quarterly strategic reviews, and 3-to-5-year lifecycle and budget planning covering both capital and operating costs, so IT spending is planned years ahead rather than arriving as surprise bills.

What areas does PrimaryTech cover for business IT?

We provide business IT support across Hull, the Humber, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, with dedicated local support for towns across the region. We combine remote support with on-site presence where it matters, so you get a local partner, not a distant call centre.
