Facing IT challenges that hold your business back?

Many businesses we talk to are finding their current IT support:

  • Feels more reactive than strategic

  • Struggles to keep pace with their growth

  • Lacks understanding of their business

  • Offers quick fixes rather than lasting solutions

  • Has become increasingly impersonal

The good news? There’s a better way to manage your IT.

The APH difference

Get more than IT support – get a partner who understands what growing businesses really need

Traditional IT Managed Services

What you get with APH

  • Generic help desk

  • Dedicated support

I can call my account manager directly – he knows our business inside out. And our account manager is persistent. If he’s doing something for us, he gets it done and then updates you.

John Mark Watson, Managing Director, John Mark Ltd

  • Reactive

  • Proactive

I’m surprised every time APH notify me of a network problem – 9 times out of 10 they’ve fixed it before I even know it’s happened.

Geoff Openshaw, Jenome UK Ltd

  • One-size-fits-all
  • We listen first

APH offered us the perfect balance between the scale and experience needed to offer a really best-in-class solution, and the personal approach of a smaller organisation. From the start, APH understood our needs and ambitions.

Laura Birchall, Finance Director, Renthal Ltd

  • Technical jargon

  • Plain English

Our last provider didn’t really care to put it into non-IT terms for you. I can say to Andy, ‘Just tell me that again, but in a way I’ll understand.

John Mark Watson, Managing Director, John Mark Ltd

  • Short-term fixes

  • Strategic partnership

I don’t think there’s any IT project that we wouldn’t discuss with APH first. We’ll sound them out and they may come back and say, ‘Have you thought of doing it this way?” And It’s better,

Max Sheridan, Managing Director, Algeos
