What we do
Five services that cover the whole estate — the machines, the cloud, the data, the website and the buying. One partner, one number to call.
Proactive monitoring and a help desk that answers. Problems get fixed before your team files a ticket.
Microsoft 365 and Azure, configured and secured properly, so your team can work from anywhere without exposing the business.
Tested, monitored backups and a recovery plan that has actually been rehearsed, not just written down.
Why RV-ESC
Templates written for another continent do not survive contact with loadshedding, import lead times and intermittent connectivity. Ours were not.
Power interruptions, connectivity gaps, hardware lead times and POPIA obligations are designed into the solution from the start, not discovered afterwards.
Microsoft 365 and Azure certified. Your tenant secured properly, your licensing right-sized, and your investment actually used rather than merely paid for.
When you call, you reach someone who can resolve it. No tiered queue, no reading from a flowchart, no explaining your business again to a new name each time.

In their words
We stopped noticing our IT, which is the highest compliment I can pay it. Things get fixed before we have finished writing the email about them.

The licence audit paid for the first six months of the contract on its own. We had been paying for seats nobody had logged into in over a year.

When the server failed we were trading again the same afternoon. The restore had been rehearsed twice, so nobody had to improvise.

How we work
No long procurement cycle and no obligation to replace everything at once. We start by telling you the truth about what you have.
01
A full audit of your devices, servers, licences and security posture, with a plain-language report on what is at risk.
02
A prioritised plan with costs attached, separating what must be fixed now from what can wait a budget cycle.
03
Work scheduled around your trading hours, with monitoring, backup and security in place before we call it done.
04
Continuous monitoring and help desk, plus a quarterly review that turns recurring problems into permanent fixes.
Common questions
A fixed monthly fee covering proactive monitoring of your systems, unlimited help desk support, security patching, antivirus management, user administration and regular reporting. The intention is that most problems are dealt with before they interrupt anyone's work, and that your IT cost becomes predictable rather than a series of surprise invoices.
We are based in Johannesburg and cover Gauteng for on-site work, but the majority of what we do is delivered remotely. We support clients across South Africa and the wider African continent, and our solutions are designed around the connectivity and power realities of operating here.
Critical issues that stop your business trading are triaged immediately, with an initial response within one business hour as standard. Contract clients have 24/7 cover, so an out-of-hours failure does not wait until the next morning.
Yes, and it is a common arrangement. We provide the tooling, monitoring, after-hours cover and specialist depth that is hard to justify hiring for, while your internal person keeps the day-to-day relationship with staff.
Yes. We are Microsoft 365 and Azure certified, which matters most in the detail: tenant security configuration, licensing that matches actual use, and migrations that do not lose data.
Managed services are quoted as a fixed monthly fee based on the number of users and devices we support and the level of cover you need. Projects such as migrations, website builds and hardware procurement are quoted separately and up front. We will not start work on a number you have not seen.
A two-minute health check, then a straight answer on where you are exposed. No obligation and no sales script.
