What it covers

Everything you would expect from a proper IT department.

If your business needs it for technology to work, it is in the contract. No surprises, no separate quotes for routine work, no upsell at the moment of crisis.

Helpdesk and incident management

Phone, email and portal channels. UK-based engineers. ITIL-aligned. Performance reported every month against contracted SLAs. VIP fast-track for board members and executives.

Device and endpoint management

Provisioning, configuration, patching, encryption and lifecycle for every laptop, desktop and mobile. Windows and Mac supported. New starters ready on day one. Leavers handled cleanly.

Identity and access

Microsoft Entra ID configured properly. Multi-factor authentication. Conditional access. Single sign-on. Joiners, movers and leavers automated where possible, audited where not.

Infrastructure and servers

On-premises, cloud, or hybrid. Servers, networks, firewalls, backup, monitoring. We design, run and maintain the lot. If something is end-of-life or limping, we tell you and plan the fix.

Proactive monitoring

Your estate watched 24/7, not just when a ticket is raised. Alerts triaged before users feel them. Patches deployed to schedule. Backup health verified weekly, not just once a year.

Service management and reporting

Monthly performance reports. Quarterly business reviews with your account team. A 12-month rolling roadmap. Decisions documented. Improvements measured.

Included with Managed

Telecoms and connectivity, under the same roof.

For ORBX Managed clients who need them, telecoms and connectivity are part of the same operating model. One supplier, one bill, one accountable team. AI voice, SD-WAN, business broadband, mobile.

AI voice answering

Modern AI voice agents that answer your phones, qualify callers, route urgent calls, and book appointments. Available 24/7 in a UK voice. Reduces call abandonment without adding headcount.

SD-WAN and connectivity

Modern SD-WAN replaces legacy MPLS with a software-defined network that routes traffic intelligently across your sites. Cheaper, more resilient, and managed centrally. Plus business broadband, leased lines and 5G.

Mobile and unified comms

Business mobile contracts negotiated against the right tariffs. Microsoft Teams Phone or 3CX rolled out properly. Hunt groups, IVRs, on-hold music, the lot. Replaces your legacy PBX.

One bill, one contract

Telecoms is bundled into your ORBX Managed retainer. No separate provider, no separate invoice, no separate support number. The same team that fixes your laptops fixes your phones.

How it works

From sign-up to fully running in 60 days.

Most provider transitions take six months and feel painful. Ours take 60 days and follow a defined methodology. You know what is happening at every stage.

01

Estate review

Two weeks. We map your current state: devices, accounts, servers, contracts, risks. You get the map whether you engage us or not.

02

Onboarding

Structured 60-day transition. Documentation, tooling, baselines, change control. We do not flip a switch on day one.

03

Operate

Service desk live. Monthly performance reports. Continuous improvement plan agreed each quarter and measured.

04

Improve

Quarterly business reviews. We bring data, risks and recommendations. You bring questions. Decisions documented.

Commercial outcomes

What ORBX Managed clients typically achieve.

Reported every month, reviewed every quarter. Numbers your CFO and your board will recognise.

~32%

Less downtime

P1 incidents cut by a third in the first 90 days through proactive monitoring and root-cause discipline.

~15 min

Faster response

Average response time on critical issues. The contracted SLA is one hour. We do better than that.

60 days

Quicker onboarding

From contract signed to fully operational. Most provider transitions take six months. Ours do not.

Common questions

Things buyers actually ask us.

How is pricing structured?

Per user per month, with separate line items for infrastructure, projects and out-of-scope work. Headline pricing is published on our pricing page. We do not hide it behind a multi-call sales process. The number we quote is the number on the proposal.

What is your typical contract length?

36 months is standard. 24 months by exception. We will not do 12 months because the onboarding investment cannot be recovered, and that maths hurts you as much as us. Multi-year terms come with discounts.

Can you take over from our existing provider?

Yes. We have a defined transition methodology. Most provider transitions take 60 to 90 days from contract to operational handover. We do not need your current provider to cooperate, although it helps.

Do you support Mac as well as Windows?

Yes. Mac via Microsoft Intune, Jamf or Kandji depending on your estate. We are Microsoft-led but not Microsoft-only. Linux desktops are out of scope for managed support, but we will work alongside specialist Linux teams.

Is the helpdesk based in the UK?

The service is UK-managed by ORBX from our Manchester base. Round-the-clock delivery is provided by our service partner, an ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified operation that has been running helpdesk services since 2002 and operates from multiple international locations to provide genuine 24/7 cover. Engineers are vetted, hold criminal record checks, and are bound by NDAs. Documentation is available for your auditor on request. We are happy to walk through the partner stack on a discovery call.

What service levels do you commit to?

Targets are agreed per client based on your operating context. Standard SLA is one hour for critical issues. Our service partner currently averages around fifteen minutes on Critical/High. We publish actual performance every month, not just the target.

What is not included?

Major projects (server migrations, office moves, large software rollouts) are scoped and quoted separately so you can budget properly. Standard moves, adds and changes are included. We follow a documented framework called IMAC so the boundary is always clear.

Ready for IT that just works?

Thirty-minute discovery call. We will look at your estate, your current provider, and what is actually broken. If we can help, we will say so. If we cannot, we will tell you who to call instead.
