Our Approach To Managed IT Support
Customer Focused
At Qlic, our emphasis is on customer service before IT jargon. Our recruitment process focuses on hiring personable staff with a love of IT – we feel this makes our IT helpdesk more approachable and encourages your users to develop good relationships and trust with our managed IT support service desk. Rather than having auto-attendants, receptionists or voicemail systems, the telephone number provided to our clients goes directly to our managed IT support team. You will speak directly to a dedicated engineer to immediately diagnose the fault and, where possible, resolve this without the need for a call back or further escalation.
Dedicated Account Management
Your dedicated account manager will stay in touch to arrange meetings or calls to chat through the various aspects of your agreement. This includes feedback on our support team, a review of your ticket and service history, any noted areas of concern completed / upcoming projects and any future requirements or new relevant technologies. The bottom line is we stay on the ball! We work hard to build an IT partnership with our clients, rather than just a managed IT support arrangement.
Service Delivery Success
At Qlic, we take pride in our high customer retention as we maintain great customer relationships with our long-standing clients.

REMAINING INFORMATION REQUESTED FROM SUPPLIERS
Just like switching your gas or electricity we do all of the hard work, contacting previous IT suppliers and 3rd party vendors, requesting information, detailing equipment, obtaining password etc. and all you have to do is to continue doing what you do best; running your organisation! Concerned your previous supplier’s wont hand everything over in a timely manner? Don’t be, we will liaise with your previous supplier directly and in the event they don’t provide the information requested, your dedicated project lead will reset any outstanding passwords and re-configure any equipment, software or services!
BEST PRACTICE ANALYSIS
Once we have collated all of your information following your site survey, your dedicated account manager will contact you to arrange your Best Practice Analysis. This is a detailed document providing information on any areas of concern with your existing system, notification of any upcoming renewals or out-of-date solutions, as well as information on forthcoming technologies and services that may benefit your organisation.

Is your IT Support Provider up to Scratch?
Good IT support is hugely valuable to a business, having a powerful influence on user experience. It builds trust and brand awareness which can ultimately lead to increased sales. The kind of interpersonal relations provided by a business can mean the difference between adequate and outstanding IT support, which will affect the reputation of a brand.
Outsourced VS In-House IT Support
Over the last 20 years or so, the Internet has revolutionised businesses, making it easier than ever before to store data, find new customers and promote your company. However, because of this growing emphasis on IT infrastructure, it’s important to have a dedicated team in place to assist with any problems. For business IT support, a company would seemingly have two options to consider.
What Makes the Best IT Support?
With the ever-changing landscape of customer service due to advancing technology, it is critical to keep human interaction as resourceful as possible. IT support is one of the most important facets of business relationships and therefore should not be seen as a nuisance or interruption. There are several things which play a role in forming the best IT support, especially communication and time management skills.
Artificial Intelligence vs Humans in Customer Support
The ability of machines to perform human-like tasks is the epitome of this technological development and artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping not only our personal, but professional activities. However, we cannot ignore the unique value of human touch which can accommodate individual needs; ensuring that human-to-human communication will remain fundamental.
