Frequently Asked Questions

Service Levels, Escalation Processes & Response Times

Who will answer my support call?

All incoming support calls are answered by a Microsoft and/or Apple professional engineer that is a member of the service desk team. Our professional service desk team provides day-to-day 1st to 3rd line technical break/fix and 3rd party application support to all of our clients from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

How long will I have to wait until I receive technical support?

Every member of our helpdesk team is trained to provide INSTANT telephone and remote technical assistance.
80%+ of reported technical support issues are resolved within a single phone call by our 1st and 2nd line remote support engineers. We’ll always endeavour to resolve your IT issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. This strategy gets you operational as quick as possible and stops us all playing telephone tag.

What happens if my IT issue cannot be fixed straight away?

Not all technical support issues can be fixed immediately and sometimes we will require additional time to resolve more challenging and complex IT issues.

In this instance, our 1st/2nd line engineer will immediately escalate the issue to a 3rd line support technician, who will endeavour to resolve the technical support issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. In addition:

  • You’ll be provided with a new ticket number.
  • You can check the status of your open issue through our online customer helpdesk portal.
  • A member of the 3rd line technical support team will update the ticket details and contact you to report our progress periodically.

I’ve reported a new IT issue via email. How long will I have to wait for a response?

All service-related emails are automatically turned in incident tickets and presented to our service desk team. The service desk team with then respond to you to support you within 10 minutes.

Does your IT Support service include Administrative changes?

YES. Administrative changes are included as part of our Fully Managed IT Support Service.* Examples of Administrative changes include:

  • Creating new user accounts
  • Creating new email addresses
  • Permission and privilege changes
  • Firewall rules and configuration changes
  • User account password resets

*PLEASE NOTE – ALL administrative changes must be confirmed in writing by a member of staff with authority to approve any changes on your Network.

What happens if my technical support issue cannot be resolved remotely?

We provide a reactive onsite Field Technical Support service in the rare 10% instance where a technical support issue cannot be resolved remotely.
  • For Business Critical issues – We’ll endeavour to have an engineer onsite within the hour.
  • For non-business critical issues – We’ll endeavour to have an engineer onsite within 24 hours.

Does you provide 24/7/365 IT Support Assistance?

YES. We provide flexible levels of 24/7 IT Support cover that can be tailored to your business requirements. WE DO NOT OUTSOURCE. ALL Technical support cover outside of standard business hours is provided by our own internal personnel.

How long does it take to switch to Focus Technology?

We’ll take FULL control of your IT Operations from DAY ONE. We’ll oversee the full transition of service and obtain any details that are required to support your IT Infrastructure directly from your previous IT Services provider, leaving you to focus on other business activities.
In order to provide INSTANT day-to-day technical support, we will need to complete the following onboarding process:
  • A professional IT Consultant will conduct a FULL IT Services discovery audit. This audit will highlight any potential or existing IT issues that could affect your immediate and medium to long-term business productivity.
  • Any existing IT issues highlighted in the IT audit will be resolved IMMEDIATELY .
  • Optimising and modernising your IT systems from Day-one will result in reduced system downtime and less day-to-day technical support problems, greatly increasing your overall business productivity.
  • As soon as possible your dedicated Bussiness Technology Advisor will conduct a strategic review to plan out the next 12 months to match your business plan with your technology.
We aim to complete the above process within TWO WEEKS of you signing an IT Services agreement. The time it takes to complete this process is dependant on the size and complexity of your IT Infrastructure.

Phillip Duffy

Technical Apprentice

I bring a unique blend of humour and a strong willingness to dive into tasks with enthusiasm. My personality shines through in everything I do, adding a vibrant dynamic to the team.

Outside of work, I have a passion for painting miniatures, playing board games, and indulging in video games. These activities not only fuel my creativity but also keep me engaged and refreshed.

Pursuing a career in IT has always been a dream of mine. I am excited about the prospect of working closely with IT and learning from this dynamic field.

Before joining the team, I honed my skills in the retail sector. This experience equipped me with valuable insights into customer service and teamwork.

One quirky aspect about me is my double-jointed thumbs, which always seem to intrigue people!

The opportunity to work with an incredible team and immerse myself in the IT world is what I love most about my role. The camaraderie and the chance to work in IT make every day enjoyable.
