What Is Smart Support and How Can Your School Benefit?

Nowhere is Computeam’s core mission statement — to improve educational outcomes through technology — better demonstrated than in our dedication to improving, adapting and streamlining IT support for schools. 

Part of this principle centres on the belief that a school’s IT estate is only as good as its ability to respond to technical issues and resolve them as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Or, better yet, identify the problems before they materialise. 

Through Smart Support, Computeam can offer a much faster, more reactive IT support service for your school; one that includes strategic planning, SLA monitoring, and reporting at no additional cost, guaranteeing ongoing IT improvements that align with your school’s technology growth and development plans.

This exceptional IT support package also includes monthly reporting on network performance, guiding strategic investments for optimal results, and backup and antivirus checks, which are cornerstones of robust data security measures.

A deep dive into Smart Support

What can your school expect?

A highly recommended IT solution for primary and SEND schools, Smart Support uses a combination of responsive assistance from our ITIL-certified service desk and proactive maintenance visits by a dedicated technician — who, over time, will develop an in-depth understanding of your school’s processes and IT infrastructure, delivering a support service that is tailored to your school’s specific needs. 

While the service provides hands-on technical expertise, importantly, investing in Computeam’s Smart Support system means that you are not required to await a technician’s scheduled visit before a problem can be resolved.

Using a sophisticated remote monitoring and management platform, we are able to streamline our services and automate routine support tasks — so that our technicians are afforded more valuable time to spend completing proactive tasks and improving the overall performance of your network and IT systems during scheduled visits.

Addressing IT issues before they arise with RMM

What is remote monitoring and management?

Our cutting-edge remote monitoring and management (RMM) system offers clients instant remote support while proactively monitoring IT systems and alerting our technicians if any issues arise. If your network has gone down or you're approaching critically low disk space, we will be notified immediately and our technicians will address the problem… without you having to do a thing! 

Through persistent monitoring of your school's network, issues can be identified before they’ve had a chance to make an impact, all the while your system will remain safe through constant updating of your operating systems, antivirus and firewalls.
