What do our customers think of our IT consultancy service?

“You have delivered a fantastic new IT system. After carefully listening to my requirements, I feel I am now set up to further grow my business for years to come. Furthermore, the patience, diligence and thoroughness has really helped to ensure everything is working perfectly, Thanks so much!”

Ian Widdowson, MD, Premier Embroidery

“Working with 5u is a delight – they are a highly professional business and have great expertise in delivering Education ICT projects. They are true to their word, punctual, excellent in managing expectations and only ever seek to deliver the highest quality of service for you. I strongly recommend the use of 5u to anyone, a great partner.”

Mark Timbs, CIO, Lendlease Europe

“5u came into our office relocation project and immediately took all the IT challenges away from us, which our existing supplier had been unable to do. They took ownership for every component relating to IT, allowing us to focus on our own business. We are now talking to 5u about our Office365 and cloud migrations and I have no doubt this will be a resounding success.”

Richard Yeo, Co-founder, ACI

“As a growing business, we needed to make a transition from IT which has just simply evolved as we’ve grown and has occasionally been a disproportionate irritation, to a longer term plan that is intelligent, budgetable and actually helps give us a platform to fuel our own capability and momentum. We turned to Chris and his 5th Utility team who sat down with us and within a relatively short space of time helped us to define IT relative to our own Business Plan, its potential, and decide what was rational.

As a result we now know what we’re doing!, and can progress with certainty and confidence.

Another enabler sorted for the most important thing of all… our business.

5th Utility have added real, tangible value to our business and I highly recommend them.”

Larry Greenwell, Director, Pulse Associates

“We continually receive an exemplary service from the 5u team, and we have been especially pleased with the dedication, effort and expertise of how they deal with every engagement. 5u offer additional guidance and support to our staff, providing comfort to the whole team that our IT is in more than capable hands.

The strategic management service we receive from 5u provides the perfect level of consultation, governance, affordability, security and control of our IT estate.

They are the perfect IT services provider for us and a true partner, I thoroughly recommend 5u.”

Peter Wain, Headteacher, Portfields Combined School

IT & Security Audits, Strategy and Policy

We help clients build their IT and Security strategies, aligning them to the business goals and targets. This helps create a clear plan, with predictable outcomes for the business to follow.

Policies (IT, Security, GDPR, AUP, BYOD)

As businesses grow, and regulations change, the need to have clear concise policies becomes more important. We help customers understand their obligations, and help them with the creation of policies to support this.

IT Cost Planning

Cost planning enables the business to review it’s previous, and current IT spend, then forecast future spend. Aligned with the IT strategy, this underpins the IT teams activity, and allows clear reporting and measurable performance.

Office/Premises Moves

When an office move is underway, it usually involves the services of many suppliers (Infrastructure, Telephony, Internet, Security, Access Control, CCTV, M&E, Small Power, Architecture, Electrical, Fit-Out etc). Yet the customer is left alone to co-ordinate all of these, which often results in timely and costly errors. At 5u, we can provide the project and program management to ensure the complete IT project runs smoothly, by working for the customer to manage all of these trades, leaving the client to focus on their core business.

IT Infrastructure & Design

Your IT infrastructure supports every other aspect of your IT provision. It is therefore essential that this is done correctly. We can assess your existing infrastructure, make recommendations on improvements, or design a new implementation from scratch. When designed and implemented properly, your infrastructure is invisible to the users, when done badly, every other aspect of your IT will incur problems.

Security – Backup, DR

As our clients adopt more and more cloud services, their legacy Security, Backup and DR provisions become less effective. We help businesses plan solutions that meet todays requirements and their future needs

Compliance, GDPR

5u help organisations with their GDPR and other compliance requirements. Whether that is through planning, advice and training, a more structured compliancy service, or fully outsourced DPO, we help our customers make compliancy simple.

Project Management. Program Management

When a major IT project is underway, it usually involves the services of many suppliers (Infrastructurte, Telephony, Internet, Security, Access Control, CCTV, M&E, Small Power, Architecture, Electrical, Fit-Out etc). Yet the customer is left alone to co-ordinate all of these, which often results in timely and costly errors. At 5u, we can provide the project and program management to ensure the complete IT project runs smoothly, by working for the customer to manage all of these trades, leaving the client to focus on their core business.

IT Procurement

Senior Management Teams are often baffled by the proposals supplied by IT companies. We can help at each step. That may be working with the client to define their requirements, drawing up specification documents, to provide to suppliers, or reviewing proposals and quotes, and explaining to our clients what has been proposed. We compare proposals, to help our clients understand the differences, and help our clients be making recommendations that reduce the overall costs.

Business IT Support

As well as our range of consultancy and infrastructure services, we offer a market-leading business IT support solution.

Whether you’re looking for simple pay-as-you-go support or a more proactive service to support your business, our staff will be well placed to help.
