If you are looking for a new IT partner, I can say from experience that Matt and the team will be with you every step of the way.

Since partnering with IT Champion, we are more efficient, reducing time spent on IT admin and smaller monthly costs for IT management. Our IT systems are now more up-to-date and cyber secure. We are also in a stronger position to plan and prepare for future costs.

Their ongoing managed IT support is not only fast, friendly, and effective but has also given us peace of mind that our important IT projects and organisation’s users are in great hands.

Bytes Over Bodies: A fresh approach to IT service pricing

If you are comparing IT costs, one of the first things you are likely to see, beyond the disparity in what’s included in these costs are that many companies charge on a per user basis.

Our charges are on a per-device basis as most Barnstaple organisations have fewer computers than they have staff. This enables organisations to be far more flexible over what cover they pay for and it helps to reduce costs significantly by not paying for support for users who have little or no need for support. After all, in most cases, it’s the computer that breaks, runs slowly or needs some form of IT intervention to get back to full working order and not the user.

In our per device model, users who do not need full support but may still need help when accessing things the Microsoft ecosystem on their own device or via a mobile phone benefit from free of charge ecosystem support which is included in every Support+ plan.

Combined with our Agreement-flex plan, which allows companies to increase or decrease the number of machines on cover (mid-support plan) it’s not uncommon for this pricing model alone to be 30% to 40% cheaper than a per-user model.

Barnstaple, and Devon-based, organisations rarely operate within traditional office hours, so we created extended office hours support to address this and it’s available at no extra cost with all our Support+ plans.

All Support+ clients benefit from our extended hours support, available Monday to Friday 7.30 am to 6.30 pm with our front-line team picking up calls within an average of 35 seconds.

Our outside of extended hours service is available to our UK or international partners who need extended coverage with no need to purchase any add on service or expensive blocks of time.

We don’t just focus on being the most responsive partner, we’ve been leading the way with our Experience Level Agreements (XLAs) which measures outcomes and value of service.

What’s included in our fully managed IT support for Barnstaple Organisations

Unlimited remote support

All of our fully managed plans have unlimited telephone and remote support built-in. Our front line team ensures that within seconds you are
talking to someone who can help.

Maintenance is an essential part of what we do to improve the performance and security of your Microsoft systems. We proactively managed your updates and security patches.

Organisations have many technology partners and they will provide specialist support we will always be available as an initial point of contact or as an escalation point, should you need it.

Our experience working with hundreds of organisations, thousands of technology providers and our specialist knowledge of Microsoft technologies mean our team are ideally placed to provide advice and guidance on all things IT.

With our weekday extended hours from 7.30 am – 6.30 pm, we got your team covered and there’s no need to pay for after-hours support again. Need emergency support outside of these times? No problem, our emergency out of hours support is available to access on all our managed IT support plans.

We place great effort into ensuring our front line support team are available in under a minute. Each month 89% who answer our customer satisfaction survey rate us as very easy to get help from. For any reason (within our working hours) a caller does not get through within 60 seconds, we will send them an apology.

Instant front line support

A majority of IT support requests are straightforward and resolved within a few minutes. We have technicians available to pick up your call and provide support there and then.

Our response times are some of the best in the industry, plus we like to do things a little differently. Our front line support provides general support within a few seconds and our rapid escalation team are on hand to pick up critical priority issues. We continually improve on our delivery of support so we can keep a five-star service.

We have a highly trained team of experienced technicians assigned to escalation support. To ensure critical faults are dealt with as and when they arise.

When people join an organisation we know how important it is their equipment is ready and they know how to use it. Our unique induction means new starters can schedule a 1-2-1 virtual training session with one of our team. We will give them a guided tour of their new digital workplace, answer any questions and ensure that they know how to contact us if they need help.

Training provides an essential part of protecting your organisation and its data. That is why all our fully managed support plans include a monthly Cyber Security Awareness training. Our training is instructor-led by our Cyber Security Analyst. There is no limit to the number of attendees that can join or how frequently.

We use the best tools on the market to monitor, maintain and support your network. Our tools automatically alert us to problems that can be investigated and resolved in the background without interruption.

Agreement flex

The support you receive must be appropriate and flexible to changes in your organisation.  Agreement flex is our way of adapting to changes that can occur at any time in a flexible, open and transparent way.

One of the most important aspects of what we do is onboarding. We manage any overlap in the final stages of the notice period from your previous provider to ensure a seamless, fully managed transfer.

We will work with you to identify products and solutions you use and make sure you are getting the most out of them, highlighting enhancements we think you should be aware of and regularly revisiting and updating the roadmap as our partnership progresses.

As part of our onboarding process, one of our Cyber Security team will work with you to complete a full cyber security audit and we’ll highlight and roadmap any recommendations that come out of the process. We’ll also get your team set up and for the Cyber Awareness programme to bolster user awareness and organisational security.

As part of client onboarding and annual review, we work through your existing disaster recovery and backup arrangements to ensure they are robust and meet the needs of your organisation. We can then monitor and support any solutions under our management.

Why organisations choose IT Champion

We focus on doing the basics very well: being responsive, explaining things clearly and taking responsibility for keeping systems running smoothly.

A local‑first approach, without the postcode gimmicks
While our head office is based in Exeter, we actively support organisations across Barnstaple and North Devon. Our clients value having a responsive team that understands how local organisations operate, from smaller offices and workshops to education and professional environments.

When onsite support is the fastest way to resolve an issue, we do not hide behind remote‑only processes. We show up when needed.

Straight‑talking support, no jargon
Our clients often come to us after frustration with unclear advice or being talked at instead of listened to. We take a different approach.
We explain what matters in plain English, answer questions honestly and avoid unnecessary technical language. You will always understand what we are doing and why it matters to your organisation.

Reliable support from experienced experts
There are no sales people between you and the people actually helping you. You deal directly with knowledgeable experts who take the time to understand your setup and priorities.

This means quicker resolutions, fewer repeated issues and advice that is grounded in real‑world experience rather than recommendations that do not fit.

Built around resilience, not just fixing problems
For organisations in Barnstaple, downtime and disruption are more than an inconvenience. They affect productivity, service delivery and confidence.

Our managed IT support focuses on reducing problems in the first place through proactive monitoring, sensible security measures and regular maintenance. When something does go wrong, you can rely on clear communication and a calm, practical response.
