Your daily business operations are reliant on IT functioning correctly.

What makes Conosco’s outsourced IT different?
Your technology is the engine that keeps your people operational and your customers receiving great service. As your integrated IT partner, it’s our job to make sure your technology never lets you down. We go above and beyond traditional outsourced IT support – these are some of the things that make us different:
Technical Account Managers
Your Technical Account Manager (TAM) will champion your needs and ensure we are delivering service excellence. They have technical, strategic and operational knowledge and are equipped to deal with a broad range of queries. They are not salespeople – their role is to help you continuously add value and improve your infrastructure. Quarterly Reviews and monthly catch-ups will ensure we are on track to meet your goals and KPIs.
IT Budgeting Tool
Our IT Budgeting tool enables us to build an annual IT budget for clients. Users can track actual spend, drill down into the assets and services driving spend, view invoices and see the forecasted total for the rest of the year. By having complete visibility of departmental spending, your business can benefit from greater control over the IT budget to enable cost savings or make infrastructure changes faster.
Underpinned by Security
We believe Cyber and Information security should be a standard part of your IT service. All IT Support contracts come with security essentials. This includes proactive server monitoring from our SOC, patch management, vulnerability scanning and our cyber advisory service. We also provide more advanced solutions such as data protection consultancy, SIEM monitoring and a range of security tooling. We also assist clients to achieve their ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certification by providing, guidance, auditing and policy writing.
ITIL Approach
Our team of passionate technologists are constantly refreshing their knowledge, exploring the latest innovations and undergoing training and examination to remain qualified. Many of our people are ITIL certified and our support service aligns with the ITIL best practice flows including but not limited to Incident, Problem Change, Configuration, Asset and Knowledge Management. Our approach is always one of collaboration – implementing simple, practical, and iterative changes and improvements that enable us to deliver the required value to both internal and external users of your systems.
Experience across a variety of sectors
Conosco’s team are experienced across many different sectors including Housing, Finance and Insurance, Marketing and Healthcare. We spend time getting to know your business challenges and vision for the future. We then use this to tailor a service to your business.
