The Challenge

A growing estate agency operating across Essex relied heavily on email, cloud applications, property-management software and reliable access to customer records. As the company expanded, its existing reactive approach to IT support was no longer providing the consistency the business needed.

Employees regularly experienced slow computers, Microsoft 365 issues and problems accessing shared information. Support was arranged only when something went wrong, with limited monitoring, documentation or long-term planning. The business was concerned about:

  • Recurring IT problems
  • Inconsistent response times
  • Limited visibility of devices and licences
  • Uncertainty around backup arrangements
  • Poorly documented administrator accounts
  • The risk of disruption during busy property transactions

Management wanted an IT provider that could take responsibility for the complete environment rather than simply responding to individual faults.

The Solution

39D completed an initial review of the company's users, computers, Microsoft 365 environment, network, cybersecurity and business applications, then created a structured managed IT support plan covering:

  • Unlimited remote support
  • Proactive device monitoring
  • Microsoft 365 administration
  • User account management
  • Backup reviews
  • Cybersecurity improvements
  • Hardware and software documentation
  • New starter and leaver processes
  • Regular technology planning
  • On-site engineering support when required

We also created an asset register and documented the systems employees depended on each day.

The Results

Reactive → Managed
IT support model transformed
Full visibility
Devices, licences & backups
Ongoing partnership
Long-term technology support

The business moved from an unpredictable break-fix arrangement to a managed service with clear support processes and greater visibility. Employees gained a defined route for requesting help, while management gained a clearer understanding of IT risks and future costs. The project helped the agency:

  • Reduce recurring support problems
  • Improve response and communication
  • Standardise employee devices
  • Strengthen Microsoft 365 security
  • Improve backup oversight
  • Plan equipment replacements in advance

The relationship developed into an ongoing technology partnership, with 39D supporting the company as its requirements continued to grow.
