Bells IT Support: Dartford’s Top IT Support Company for Stress-Free Business Technology Solutions

Digitalization has altered business operations and customer interactions since the 1980s. Beginning with the development of enterprise software in the 1980s and 1990s and concluding with the introduction of the internet a little over 30 years ago, the “digital revolution” radically changed how we live and work.

This revolution is far from over, as numerous new and emerging breakthroughs are anticipated to change the tech sector for years to come. For instance, over the past 10 years, the use of cloud computing has skyrocketed, enabling companies of all kinds to use computer resources and subscription-based apps that were previously only accessible to large organisations with correspondingly big IT budgets. AI and business process automation are also becoming more and more popular because they are now more accessible and less expensive than ever.

With years of experience working with companies in Dartford, we are a top provider of IT services. We are aware of the revolutionary potential of modern, skilfully managed IT. We are aware that, given the constraints of operating a business on a daily basis, putting aside time to explore IT options can be challenging. It could not be enjoyable to think about learning new technologies. Fortunately, it’s not necessary if you have a proactive and committed IT support partner on your side.

We’re Bells IT Support, Dartford’s best IT support company for SMEs

We provide SMEs in Dartford and across Kent a wide range of IT assistance and business technology services. Our staff can provide everything from fully managed IT to business telephony and tech project management to satisfy all of your organisation’s technological needs. We have years of combined business IT experience.

We take a proactive approach with each of our managed service offerings because we are conscious of the significance of your IT infrastructure to the smooth operation of your business. Before problems may have a negative effect on your operations, we halt them in their tracks. In addition to setting up the platforms and tools you need to stay connected, we can also implement the cyber defence measures necessary to meet compliance standards.

At Bells, in addition to computer repair, we also provide value-added IT support. Sincerity and trust are the cornerstones of the business partnerships we build, and we are committed to providing our clients with strategic solutions to their most pressing issues. Below are the top 5 reasons why we’re Dartford’s best IT support company.

Managed IT that’s tailored to your business’s needs

Working with firms from a range of industries has taught us that no two are the same and that a one-size-fits-all approach to IT is useless. We can develop a strategy that satisfies both your technological requirements and your budgetary limits, whether you require intensive assistance or tools to support your in-house IT team.

We’ll engage with you as a comprehensive support partner to thoroughly understand your operations in order to develop and implement solutions that support the commercial goals and growth aspirations of your company. We’ll also make sure that everything we do conforms with any laws to which you may be subject.

Our team is able to support your internal workers by providing assistance in important areas or covering skill “blindspots.” Additionally, we can provide urgent support for tasks or extra capacity during peak periods.

No matter how you choose to work with us, we’ll put together a support package that is specific to your requirements, and you’ll be assigned a personal account manager to assure first-rate service delivery and our renowned customer care.

Tech solutions grounded in business reality

Thanks to the Cloud, even the tiniest businesses can now easily access computer resources that are scalable and flexible for business productivity applications.

We can help you maximise the most of this potent suite of technologies as a Microsoft 365 partner, and our ongoing support will ensure that your Microsoft environment is secure and configured properly. With the help of our extensive MS 365 backup, remote device management, and email encryption, we can help you adopt automation to do away with time-consuming manual operations and ensure the security of your Microsoft-owned data. We can assist you in utilising functionality that your competitors might not be using thanks to our features and capabilities that give significant productivity advantages.

We also specialise in corporate connectivity and offer a selection of customisable options to match a variety of enterprises. We can discover the most reasonably priced options to keep your employees connected thanks to our partnerships with leading corporate mobile and internet carriers. Our mobile and broadband options also include continuing customer assistance for additional peace of mind, as well as ongoing market monitoring to ensure you’re always getting the best offer.

A firm commitment to Cyber Security best practice

According to recent research, the average cost of a cyber security breach to UK businesses is £1200, which could have financially disastrous effects for many small organisations. Best practises for cyber security are emphasised in all of the services and technology solutions Bells provides.

Our managed support offers frontline cyber defences that guarantee network and software weaknesses are swiftly patched in order to prevent exploitation by hackers. This is done through proactive maintenance and constant monitoring. We’ll set up the technical safeguards necessary to protect data saved on portable devices, and we’ll implement document safeguards to protect sensitive data regardless of the location from which it is accessible.

Firewalls, anti-malware software, email encryption, and multi-factor authentication are just a few of the industry-leading security measures we can put in place to safeguard your data from hostile infiltration and help you comply with regulatory standards. We’ll lead you through the steps necessary to obtain the “Cyber Essentials” certificate, which is sponsored by the government and is designed to help businesses defend themselves against 80% of cyberthreats. You’ll be able to give your business strong security baseline controls and demonstrate to potential customers how seriously you take data security by doing this.

Support that’s suited to your industry

Because of the variety of our clients, we have a special understanding of the operational difficulties and legal constraints that different businesses face. GDPR compliance is a given, but we’ll also ensure that the solutions we employ adhere to industry-specific requirements like those set by the FCA and CQC.

Using automation, security controls, and document-level constraints, we can integrate regulatory compliance into your system from the bottom up, ensuring that nothing is left to chance. By ensuring that all crucial documents are managed and accounted for, our document management solution may assist you in tracking files in forensic detail for watertight information management, helping you to achieve data security goals.
