My business has been using Easylife IT for what must be around 10 years and I have not needed to look elsewhere in that time! As a small business we don't have IT capabilities in house and the backup service from Easylife has given us confidence knowing that our backs are covered. All issues dealt with remotely and for higher level issues the business owner will help out with friendly advice. I always feel their advice is good and charging is fair. I am a little surprised to see another review that appears to speak highly but giving a 4 star. Anyway it's definitely a 5 star from me! Highly recommended.

Why businesses move to us

Three things that push people to change IT partner

Almost every conversation we have starts with one of these.

Performance & service delivery

Tickets that sit for days, nobody owning the problem, and no way of knowing whether anyone is actually working on it.

Controlling IT costs

Surprise invoices, licences nobody uses, renewals that land without warning and no clear picture of what IT really costs.

Distraction from priorities

Directors and office managers firefighting IT instead of running the business they are actually paid to run.

Technology should carry your business — not hold it up

We started EasyLifeIT™ in 2007 because IT service delivery in this industry needed to be a great deal better. Pick up the phone and you get an engineer who can actually fix it — not a queue, not a script.

Most of our new business still comes from recommendations, which tells you more about how we work than any page on this website can. Microsoft-certified expertise runs throughout our support team, and behind us sits DSM Group, with its own UK data centre and security operation.

Support on Demand

Help when you need it, without a long contract

Built for 10–2,000 users

SMEs are what we are genuinely good at

Services

Everything your IT needs, under one roof

IT Support on Demand

Straight through to an engineer who can solve it. Around 93% of issues never need a visit.

Crisis Prevention

Monitoring, management and maintenance that stops small problems turning into crises.

Cyber Safe

Endpoint protection, web filtering, document backup and staff awareness training.

VMaaS

Vulnerability Management as a Service — scanned, prioritised, patched and reported.

SECaaS

Security as a Service — managed detection and response, SOC monitoring and compliance.

IT Director

Strategy, policy and consultancy — an experienced IT voice in the room when you plan.

Cloud & Microsoft 365

Migration, licensing and day-to-day management of the tools your team lives in.

Backup, DR & hosting

In DSM Group’s own UK green data centre and disaster recovery facility.

EasyLifeIT™ Cyber Safe

Security designed around the standards clients and insurers increasingly expect

A complete layer on top of your IT support: protection that reacts on its own, and people who know what a phishing email looks like because they have been trained on one.

Next-generation endpoint protection

Detects a threat and isolates the device before it spreads.

Web filtering

Malicious sites blocked, and whole categories blocked by choice.

Online document backup

PCs and laptops backed up, not just the server in the cupboard.

uSecure EasyLifeIT Academy

Awareness training, password monitoring, phishing simulations and user risk scores.

Security services

Two ways to close the gap a helpdesk cannot

Support keeps the lights on. These two do the security work that sits underneath it — finding what is exposed, and watching what is happening. Both are included in the Complete plan and can be added to Essential or Managed.

VMaaS

Vulnerability Management as a Service

You cannot fix what nobody is looking for. We scan, prioritise what actually matters, and tell you what to do about it.

  • Internal and external scanning across the estate
  • A prioritised remediation plan, not a raw report
  • Cyber Essentials reporting built in
  • Three levels, from external scanning to continuous
Explore VMaaS

SECaaS

Security as a Service

A whole security function for businesses that will never hire one. Detection, response, training and monitoring, run for you.

  • Managed detection and response
  • Security awareness training for your people
  • Dark web monitoring
  • Three levels, with VMaaS included from the first
Explore SECaaS
How it works

Three steps, and days — not months

Within days, you’ll be experiencing IT like never before.

01

Choose your plan

Pick the level of cover that matches how much of your IT you want to hand over.

02

Let’s talk

We look at what you have, what it costs you now and what needs to change first.

03

Start your IT experience

We onboard your people and your estate, and you get your time back.

EasyLifeIT™ IT Director

The IT voice in the room, without the IT salary

In most SMEs the executive responsible for IT is not a specialist in it — usually it lands with the Finance Director. We plug that gap with a consultant or virtual IT Director: experienced business people who talk your language and complement your team.

What you get

An IT strategy that matches the business plan

Policies written for your people, not a template

Budget and renewal planning you can take to the board

Certification and audit planning, so Cyber Essentials and client due diligence are scheduled

Where we are

Peterborough based, supporting clients nationally

Around 93% of what we do is remote, so where you are matters far less than it used to. Our head office is by appointment only, and on-site work is arranged wherever it is genuinely needed.

When you can reach us

Our engineers are on the phones through the working day, so you are speaking to someone who can fix it rather than leaving a message.
