How does it work?

The first step is to book a meeting with our Managing Director, Gildas Jones. Once he finds out more about your business IT requirements, he’ll send you a tailored proposal.

Once your contract is signed, our Project Team will begin onboarding your business to the Service (a handover period is recommended, when you’re still paying your old IT company while already on the service with us, as this will make the handover much easier).

The onboarding project varies in length depending on your current IT setup and includes Cyber Essentials certification.

Once your onboarded, you can relax and enjoy the benefits of Protect & Grow:

Complete peace of mind with fully managed IT systems
Increased credibility and reputation
Ability to work on the go
Increased productivity
No interruptions or downtime
Fully backed up and secure data
… and all of this at a fraction of the price of an in-house team.

How long is the contract?

Our standard contract lasts 24 months.

At the moment we are offering a free 30 day trial – which means that we won’t charge you for the first month of the service, and you are welcome to leave the service during that first month, if you don’t think it really suits your business (effectively, it’s a one month break clause built into the contract).

We have used Dial A Geek as our Managed Service Provider for a number of years now. They have never failed us. Gildas continues to bring high quality staff into his business as they grow and they all bring the same high standards and enthusiasm to the service that is offered. Whether it is security, productivity, innovation or just day to day operations we always know that they are on top of things for us. It’s really important as it allows us to focus on what we do with confidence, knowing that our IT is in safe hands.

Since we joined Dial A Geek’s Managed Service in 2021, they have greatly improved the way we work.

The team are all very helpful and they always ensure a quick turn around on all projects and Helpdesk tickets. It’s nice to know that we can always rely on Dial A Geek to keep us secure, productive, and up to date with our tech.

Matter.

The Dial A Geek team are great to work with and have added so much value to Matter. As a start up it’s important to have an IT partner that really works with us, understanding our needs, skill gaps and budgets etc.

Our system, security and policies are always improving, and any issues are dealt with quickly with a friendly informed voice at the end of the phone when needed.

They have responded quickly to any of our queries, there hasn’t been anything that they haven’t been able to resolve. The team keep us up to date and always follow up to check everything is running smoothly.

Clair Wadden

Unity Street Chambers

We have been on a support plan with Dial A Geek since 2016. We’ve always valued their help and expertise, so we were keen on the new broadband solution they proposed in a response to our connection regularly dropping out. Now that we have Fibre broadband they suggested, we can finally get on with our work and waste no more time. We’re very grateful for Dial A Geek’s help and would recommend them to anyone looking to improve their business tech.

Sally Jones

Bristol Refugee Rights

We’ve worked with Dial A Geek for many years. They helped us set our systems up and have maintained them ever since. The service is great – the Geeks are always available to answer a question or provide a solution. Most issues are resolved remotely on the same day and if the problem is more complicated, a Geek will visit as soon as they can. They are very flexible to fit our needs and limited working hours. Their solutions are effective and tailored to us, as they know our systems and have taken time to understand how we work.

Nicola Payne

Noisy Little Monkey

We generally rely on Dial A Geek for our IT support, but over the first three months of lockdown they have been invaluable. From useful newsletters about security issues, to remote support of a broken laptop and answering random queries, they have felt more like our outsourced team than ever.

Ed Mitchell

We are very happy with the service. The Geeks are always calm and professional and resolve our problems promptly. We have found the service to be just as good during the covid-19 pandemic as before and are doubly grateful for that.
