Managed Support
Designed to keep your business up and running at all times, Chess Managed Support resolves 60% of IT issues at first contact.
Reduce your costs and grow your business by improving service levels
With an ever-growing list of demands, it is impossible for today’s internal IT function to answer all tech requirements of your organisation.
One of your main challenges is how to stay on top of the latest trends to support the business and address changing needs when there is a constant squeeze on budgets, headcount, and resources.
This is where Managed Services can help – from data centre to desktop, from consulting to service desk and onsite support, we will slot into your own IT model at any level required, depending on what you need. You retain control while achieving lower total cost of ownership (TCO), improved performance, guaranteed service levels and reduced risk. Chess help you create a flexible, efficient, and resilient business.
