BT launches IT manager service

BT has launched a nationwide service for small and medium-sized businesses that gives them the equivalent of their own IT manager at the fraction of the cost of employing one.

With BT Business IT Manager an SME can pick and mix from a range of options and get a level of service to suit their business. This could range from advice over the phone, remotely running software applications and updates, to installing PCs and networks.

The complete BT Business IT Manager package of PCs, a server and hardware, using equipment from HP, Microsoft and Intel and including installation and IT support, costs from £37 per user per month. Businesses can even choose BT’s flexible financing option to reduce upfront expenditure on IT.

Says Bill Murphy, managing director of BT Business: “It is critical for SMEs to invest in the right technology for their business, but many have their time stolen as they get drawn into IT management and maintenance. Now they can concentrate on managing their business while we manage IT.

“The time is right for this. We already have a large team of engineers in place ready to solve IT problems for businesses, many of whom are already working with SMEs, and we’ve had a great response in the areas where we’ve been piloting the service.”
