What we solve
A renewal nobody read. A phishing email that got through. A backup nobody has tested. Here is what exhale IT solves and what we actually do about each one.
| The situation | What we do |
|---|---|
| The Microsoft renewal has landed and nobody is sure what half of it is | We review the estate line by line and right-size it. Sometimes that is a smaller bill. Sometimes it is the same bill doing more. Microsoft 365 review → |
| A phishing email got through and it has rattled everyone | We show you what your current filtering missed, with evidence, and close the gap alongside what you already own. Email security → |
| Nobody has tested a restore in living memory | We find out whether your backup would actually bring you back, and fix it if it would not. Backup and recovery → |
| New office, new site, or a fit-out with a deadline | End-to-end hardware sourcing across every major brand, coordinated to the deadline. |
| The CCTV lives in a cupboard and someone has to drive to check it | We move physical security onto systems you run from a browser. Physical security → |
| The internet drops when it matters | Connectivity review and honest options, sourced through a wide supplier network. |
| The requirement is not on anyone's usual price list | We arrange delivery through vetted specialist partners, held to the same standard, with exhale IT as the single accountable point. |
| No IT director, and technology decisions keep landing on you | That is the Technology Quartermaster conversation. Ongoing advice without an ongoing contract. |
Beyond the core
Not every requirement is a product on a price list, and that changes nothing. Hosted environments and data centre colocation, business voice and unified communications, contact centre technology, SD-WAN and connectivity are core to what we offer, delivered with specialist partners we have already vetted. Certified training, database support and specialist engineering follow the same route. You get one point of contact and the right supplier for the job.
Through long-standing partner relationships we arrange delivery by the right specialist, held to the same standard we hold ourselves to. exhale IT stays your single point of contact and remains accountable for the commercial relationship and the outcome. You are never handed off and forgotten.
We would rather know exactly who than pretend to be everything. That is the difference between breadth and dilution.
Common questions
No. exhale IT is an independent reseller and technology advisor, a mix of trusted advisor and value added reseller. No ongoing management contract is required to buy well. You buy what you need, when you need it.
Not at all. Keep them running the environment. Where exhale IT adds value is in technology choice, renewal benchmarking and sourcing: the decisions your current provider has a commercial interest in, and where an independent view is worth having.
Timing is agreed on the first call. Simple licensing questions move fast. Multi-site projects take as long as proper scoping needs, and you will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next and when.
Usually, yes. Beyond our named vendor partnerships we have supply routes across the major UK distributors and a wide supplier network covering connectivity and SD-WAN, network-as-a-service, business voice and unified communications, contact centre technology, cloud infrastructure, hosted environments and data centre colocation, physical security and specialist cyber security, plus delivered services such as certified training, database support and specialist engineering through vetted partners. Always ask the question; the answer is usually yes.
