A borough of small businesses
The London Borough of Barnet is one of the largest in London by population, and its economy is built on small and medium-sized businesses. You will find them on the high streets of Chipping Barnet, Whetstone, North Finchley and Edgware, in offices and studios around Hendon and Colindale, and in the many home offices across the borough. Brent Cross is going through one of London's biggest regeneration projects, bringing new offices and new businesses to the south of the borough.
Professional services make up a large part of that picture: accountants, solicitors, financial advisers, estate agents, architects and consultants. So do healthcare businesses such as dental and medical practices, alongside charities, schools, tutoring companies and trades. What most of them have in common is that IT is essential to their work but nobody's main job.
Seabeck Solutions is based just over the border at Centennial Park in Elstree, so Barnet businesses get a local IT partner that can be on site when needed.
Your outsourced IT department
For most of our Barnet clients, managed IT support replaces a patchwork of ad hoc fixes. Instead of relying on a staff member who is "good with computers" or calling someone only when things break, you get:
- Proactive monitoring and patching of laptops, desktops, servers and network equipment, so problems are caught early.
- A helpdesk run by our own engineers that your team can call or email for everyday issues.
- On-site visits for hardware faults, new starters, office moves and network work.
- Planning and advice, so replacements and upgrades are budgeted rather than surprises.
Protecting client data
Professional practices hold exactly the kind of information criminals target: bank details, identity documents, medical and financial records. Our cyber security service puts layered protection around it, with endpoint protection, email filtering, firewall management and security awareness training for your staff. Our backup and disaster recovery service keeps encrypted copies of your data off-site, so a ransomware attack or failed server doesn't stop you working.
Practice software in the cloud
Many accountancy and tax practices in Barnet run CCH Central on an ageing server in a back office. We can host CCH Central for you in the cloud, so your team can use it securely from the office or from home, with backups and updates handled for you. It is a specialist service very few local IT providers offer. We do the same for businesses that use SAP Business One.
Phones and connectivity
A hosted VoIP phone system suits Barnet's many small offices and home-based teams: calls reach staff on a desk phone, a computer or a mobile app with the same number. We work with multiple, diverse network suppliers to provide business broadband and leased lines, so we can find the right connection for converted offices and high-street premises alike.
Support is available Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:30pm, with out-of-hours cover for contract customers.
