At Knights Corporate Workwear, we’ve been managing our own IT since we founded the business back in 1974. We’ve enjoyed steady growth but like many businesses have had our fair share of frustrations with IT along the way.
Moving to a Managed IT Service had always seemed a bit daunting. We’d always been able to cope but I knew that if our growth was going to continue, we couldn’t let IT hold us back.
We’d heard good things about Trusted Computing and crucially, Mike was able to reassure us that he would help us transition from an in-house to an outsourced Managed IT service in a low-risk, low-stress way. We made the change in 2019 and Mike was true to his word.
Since then, Trusted Computing have helped us get to grips with our IT, upgrading hardware and software to improve the user experience and efficiency of our team.
They recommended and then implemented Microsoft Office 365, bringing us mail, chat, and secure cloud storage in one system for one subscription. This simplified things; it was ideal for those working on the move and helped us with remote working during the pandemic.
Since moving to Trusted Computing’s Managed IT Service, we are much more confident about the security of our data, and they have helped us gain Cyber Essentials certification. Trusted Computing’s IT Healthcheck provides a regular overview of the performance and security of our system. This is great as it helps us take pre-emptive steps to avert problems and budget sensibly for planned replacements and upgrades.
The transformation of our IT has helped us work smarter and continue to deliver for our growing portfolio of clients. Our only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner.
