What are Managed IT Services?

Managed IT Services are an outsourced approach to running and supporting your business technology, covering everything from day-to-day helpdesk support to full IT strategy and consultancy. Instead of hiring an in-house IT team, you work with a provider like Global 4, who monitors your systems, resolves issues, manages your infrastructure and keeps your technology secure on an ongoing basis.

At Global 4, our Managed IT Services are built around three things: enhancing your user experience, improving cyber security and streamlining costs. As a Horsham-based Managed Service Provider (MSP), we combine local expertise with enterprise-grade tools to deliver the kind of IT support your business deserves, so your team can focus on their work instead of IT problems.

Service Level Agreements

Going beyond SLAs

While Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are a useful measure of response times, we believe they do not fully capture how satisfied your IT users really are. That is why we operate SLAs alongside Experience Level Agreements (XLAs): a way of measuring not just how fast we respond, but how your team actually feels about the service and technology they rely on day to day.

How do we achieve this?

We consistently focus on user satisfaction, gathering data at every stage of the process so nothing gets overlooked. We do this in a way that does not add extra work for your IT users, which is a key part of how we deliver real value rather than just reporting on it.

Ticket close process

A barometer allows staff to express their satisfaction with a single click in the case email. This has proven highly effective in identifying individual concerns and measuring overall satisfaction with IT as a service.

Interaction with users

Initial floor walks and introductions are great for building relationships between our teams and yours, but this should be repeated whenever feasible. We understand the risk of users holding on to IT issues due to the perceived time it takes to raise a ticket—essentially just putting up with it.

Experience manager

You will be assigned a dedicated Customer Experience Manager (CXM) who will work with you before and after the service commences to ensure the best possible service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Managed IT Services

How is a Managed IT Service different from calling an IT company when something breaks?
Traditional break-fix IT support only steps in once something has already gone wrong, and you are billed for each individual visit or fix. Managed IT Services work proactively, monitoring your systems around the clock to catch and resolve issues before they cause downtime, all covered under one predictable monthly plan.
What is included in a Managed IT Services plan?
Plans are tailored to your users, endpoints and business environment, so exact inclusions vary. Get in touch for a plan matched to your setup.
How quickly can we switch to Global 4 as our Managed IT provider?
Our team manages the handover from your current provider or in-house setup, so your business experiences minimal disruption during the switch.
Do you support remote and hybrid teams?
Yes. Our managed IT services are built to support your people wherever they are working, with the same monitoring, security and helpdesk access whether your team is in the office, at home or moving between the two.
