When a service desk makes sense

This is not about replacing your IT team. It is about taking the routine off them.

Internal IT is swamped

One to three people who were hired for projects spend their days resetting passwords and hunting for printers. Not because they cannot do more — because the day is gone.

Operations do not stop at five

Shift work, hotels, retail, or a team spread across time zones. When something breaks at 10pm, waiting until morning costs money — and building your own night shift is not viable.

Several sites, no overview

Each location handles IT its own way, nobody knows what happens where, and the recurring problem never gets fixed because nobody ever sees the whole picture.

Why we can cover the night

Alongside IT services we run our own network as an internet provider. Round-the-clock shifts are not something we would set up for your contract — they are already paid for by another part of the business.

  • Out-of-hours cover without the build-up cost — an engineer on shift is our normal state, not a special arrangement. You pay for the cover you actually need.
  • Network and endpoints under one roof — when a problem sits between the application, the network and the line, there is nobody to hand it to. We understand both ends.
  • English and Czech — we support international teams and deal with foreign vendors as a matter of course. Language is not a barrier on the evening shift either.
  • A real person, not a chatbot — the first contact has a name, knows your environment, and stays with the ticket until it is closed.

Priorities and response times

Priority Response Updates
Critical 15 minutes every 30 minutes
High 30 minutes every 2 hours
Normal 2 hours daily
Low 4 hours as required

Indicative figures. Exact targets and the service window are set to match your operation and written into the SLA.

The life of a ticket

Nothing stays in someone's head or in a chat thread. Everything is logged and traceable.

1

Intake

Phone, email or portal — always one point of contact. Even a phone call becomes a ticket, so there is a record of it.

2

Triage

We set the priority and establish the scope — one user, one department, or everyone. That determines how fast it moves.

3

Resolve or escalate

Most cases we close ourselves using agreed procedures. Anything beyond first line goes up with the full picture attached — not with "it does not work".

4

Closure

The ticket stays ours even after escalation — we track it, keep the user informed, and close it only once they confirm. The fix goes into the knowledge base.

What first line covers, and what it does not

A clear boundary from day one serves both sides. Here is ours.

In scope

  • Passwords, sign-in, multi-factor authentication, locked accounts
  • Desktops, laptops, mobiles, printers and peripherals
  • Microsoft 365, mail, calendars, shared drives, video conferencing
  • Network, WiFi and VPN connectivity checks and diagnostics
  • Joiners and leavers, following your approved process
  • Line-of-business and industry applications at first line
  • Vendor liaison and chasing their response

Outside first line

  • Network design, server and firewall administration
  • Configuration changes to production systems
  • Security monitoring and incident response
  • Development, integrations and application changes
  • Hardware procurement and technology decisions
  • Physical repairs and on-site engineering

We do most of these — but as separate services with their own rules, rather than quietly folded into user support.

Frequently asked

Service desk questions

What is an outsourced service desk, and how is it different from IT management? +

The service desk is your first line of support — one place where staff report problems, and which either resolves them or passes them on with the groundwork done. It differs from full IT management in that it does not touch infrastructure or make technology decisions; that stays with your internal IT, or with us under a separate arrangement. Companies bring us in when their IT team spends its days resetting passwords instead of delivering projects.

How fast do you respond, and what do you guarantee? +

We work with a four-level priority matrix. Critical incidents that stop operations get a response within 15 minutes and regular updates until resolution. Routine requests are answered within hours during the agreed service window. Exact targets go into the SLA based on what your operation actually needs — committing to something we cannot hold is in nobody's interest.

Can you cover evenings and weekends? +

Yes, and it comes naturally to us. Alongside IT services we run our own network as an internet provider, which means we staff on-call shifts around the clock. An engineer available at 11pm or on a Sunday is not something we would have to build for your contract — the shift is already there. We set the staffed and on-call split to match your operation.

Whose ticketing system do we work in? +

Yours, if you already run one — we plug into it and your data stays with you. Or ours, where you get your own environment, access for your people and monthly reporting. Every request is logged as a ticket, including the ones that arrive by phone, so there is always a record of who did what and when.

What is in the monthly report? +

Tickets opened and closed, broken down by site, department, category and priority; response-time performance; first-contact resolution rate; reopened and ageing tickets; recurring problems and what we suggest doing about them. It is a document for making decisions, not a timesheet.

How long does it take to go live? +

Weeks rather than months, depending on the size of the estate. We need to map your systems and contacts, configure ticketing, priorities and SLAs, write procedures for the common cases, arrange access and train the team. Before go-live we run test incidents including escalation, so the first real outage is not the first rehearsal.

Do you support hotel and operational systems? +

Yes. Alongside standard corporate systems we work with hospitality platforms — with Mews at integration level, not merely as users. That shows up in how many incidents we close ourselves instead of escalating, because we can tell whether the problem affects one user, one property, or the whole service.
