Everything your business needs from IT, in one place

Most small businesses don't need an IT department. They need one number to call when something breaks, someone keeping the security basics tight, and honest advice when it's time to invest — without the jargon, and without paying for things they don't use.

That's what SWS does. We're a Taunton-based team founded by two IT professionals with over 30 years of combined experience, supporting businesses across the South West. Our roots are in one of the most unforgiving IT environments there is — a 24/7 care home — and we bring that same reliability to every client.

What we handle for you

Day-to-day IT support — fast remote fixes for the everyday problems, with on-site visits across Somerset when hands-on help is needed
Cyber security & Cyber Essentials — protection from phishing and ransomware, plus the government-backed certification that wins bigger contracts
Microsoft 365 & cloud — email, file sharing, and backups configured properly, secured, and kept that way
Websites & automation — professional websites plus automations that take the repetitive admin off your plate
AI consultancy — practical help finding where AI genuinely saves your business time and money
Hardware & networking — PCs, laptops, printers, and WiFi that works in every corner of your premises

How working with us feels

You get a direct line to people who know your setup — not a call centre reading notes off a screen. We explain everything in plain English, we tell you when something doesn't need fixing, and we plan ahead so you're not surprised by failures or costs. Flexible monthly support, security-only cover, or ad-hoc help: whatever fits your size and budget.

Proven where it's hardest

SWS was built inside a working care home, where systems run around the clock and downtime affects real people's care. If our standards satisfy CQC inspectors and night-shift staff, they'll keep your business running too. That story — and what our clients say about us — is on our testimonials page.

Start with a free IT audit

We'll review your current setup — devices, email, security, backups, and the daily niggles your team has learned to live with — and give you a clear report on what's solid, what's risky, and what we'd do first. No obligation, no hard sell.

Questions & Answers

Business IT Support FAQs

What does managed IT support actually include?

As much or as little as you need. A typical package covers a helpdesk for day-to-day problems, security monitoring and updates, Microsoft 365 management, backups, and advice when you're buying or changing anything technical. We tailor the scope to your business rather than selling a one-size-fits-all bundle.

We're only a small team — are we too small for managed IT?

No. Most of our clients have between two and fifty staff. Small teams actually feel IT problems hardest, because there's no in-house person to absorb them — every hour lost to a broken laptop or email outage is an hour of your business. Support scaled and priced for small teams is exactly what we do.

How does switching to SWS work?

We handle the heavy lifting. We audit and document what you have, coordinate the handover with your outgoing provider or supplier, and run the transition so nothing goes down and no passwords or data get lost. Most switches complete inside a few weeks.

Do you do one-off projects, or only ongoing contracts?

Both. Plenty of clients start with a single project — a website, an office move, a security clean-up, a Cyber Essentials push — and decide afterwards whether ongoing support makes sense. There's no lock-in either way.

Not sure what you need?

That's normal — most owners aren't IT people, and shouldn't have to be. Tell us what's slowing you down and we'll tell you honestly what would fix it.
