Our bespoke 4th line support offerings are built around your team’s precise requirements. Whether they need a little help every day, or just someone to call in a crisis, Planet IT’s senior engineers and escalations team are here to help.

With an ever-growing complexity of IT products to manage, it is almost impossible to have all the expertise your business needs internally without a hefty salary and training bill.

Key Challenges

✅ Training – With technology evolving at such a rapid rate, keeping internal teams up to date creates financial and absence burdens that are difficult to afford

✅ Holiday Cover – No matter the size of the IT team, if a team member is off sick or on holiday, this often creates huge challenges for covering work, particularly for senior members

✅ IT Project Expertise – Implementing new technologies can be a step into the unknown and teams often lack the time and experience to install new technology

✅ Vendor Support – Although IT departments have direct access to vendors such as Microsoft, HP and Dell, getting the support they need can be a time-consuming process

How Can We Help?

As part of our 4th line support contract, you will immediately benefit from adding a large team of senior engineers as an extension to your IT department. The contract is tailored to your installed technologies, allowing your team to have support when they need it the most.

Key Benefits

✅ Escalation Support – Direct access to our senior escalation engineers on the helpdesk to troubleshoot and remediate your issues as quickly as possible

✅ Holiday Cover – Whether just a bit of 1st  and 2nd line support cover or escalation and senior engineer cover – we can provide it all either remotely or onsite

✅ Affordable – Senior engineers do not come cheap and our 4th line contract is the perfect addition to any IT department at an affordable price

✅ Vendor Support – We hold significant partner statuses with all major vendors giving our team faster direct access to vendor support
