IT support that fixes problems before your team notices them
Most businesses do not want to think about IT. They want laptops that work, email that arrives, files they can find and someone to call when something goes wrong. Managed IT support from Equasys gives you exactly that, with a team in Birchwood, Warrington that gets to know your business and your systems.
Instead of paying for fixes after things break, a managed service looks after your technology continuously. We monitor your devices, keep them updated, manage your Microsoft 365 users and licences, and plan ahead so that IT supports growth rather than holding it back.
Already have an in-house IT person? Our co-managed IT service gives them a senior team to lean on, the right tools, and cover for holidays, projects and busy periods.

Managed IT Support FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often. Anything else, just ask.
What is included in managed IT support?
Our managed IT support covers helpdesk and remote support, device monitoring, patch management, Microsoft 365 administration, on-site support by arrangement, and IT planning. The exact scope is agreed with you up front and set out in your agreement, so you know what is covered.
How quickly do you respond to support requests?
In 2026 our service desk averaged a 14 minute response time and a 47 minute resolution time, with 99.94% of requests handled within agreed service levels. Your agreement sets out the response targets that apply to you.
Do you offer on-site IT support?
Yes. Most issues are resolved remotely because it is faster for you, but our engineers visit sites across Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool and the wider North West when hands-on work is needed.
Can you work alongside our in-house IT person?
Yes. Our co-managed IT service supports internal IT staff with tools, escalation, project help and holiday cover, without replacing them.
How is managed IT support priced?
Pricing depends on the number of users and devices and the services you need. After a short review of your current setup we will give you a clear written quote. Our standard terms are in our Master Services Agreement.
How do we switch from our current IT provider?
We plan the handover with you: collecting admin access, licensing and documentation from your current provider, checking backups and security, then onboarding your users. The aim is that your team notices as little disruption as possible.
