IT helpdesk support onboarding process
How Our IT Helpdesk Support Works
1. Contact the Helpdesk
Employees raise a support request by telephone, email or through the PC Docs Client Portal, according to the arrangements in your support agreement.
2. Assessment and Prioritisation
A technician reviews the problem, records its business impact and assigns an appropriate priority so that critical issues can be handled first.
3. Remote Investigation
Where authorised, a technician securely connects to the affected device or guides the employee through suitable diagnostic steps.
4. Resolution or Escalation
The issue is resolved remotely where possible. Problems requiring specialist knowledge, third-party involvement or physical access are escalated appropriately.
5. Confirmation and Follow-up
The technician confirms that the user can work normally, records the resolution and recommends preventative action where recurring issues are identified.
Clear Priorities and Helpdesk Response Times
Support requests are assessed according to their urgency, the number of users affected and their impact on business operations. A complete system outage or widespread access problem will normally require a different priority from an isolated software question.
Your support agreement defines the service hours, contact methods, systems covered and applicable response commitments. Employees are kept informed while tickets are investigated, resolved or escalated to another technician or third-party provider.
Who Is Our IT Helpdesk Designed For?
Our business IT helpdesk is designed for small and medium-sized organisations that need reliable day-to-day technical assistance without maintaining a full internal support team. It can also provide additional capacity and specialist knowledge for businesses with an existing IT manager.
The service is particularly valuable for organisations with remote or hybrid employees, multiple offices, growing teams or business-critical systems. PC Docs provides remote support throughout the UK, with on-site engineering available across London, Hertfordshire, Essex and the wider South East.
Support can be adapted as your employee numbers, applications, devices and working arrangements change.

Secure Remote Assistance
Remote sessions are initiated with the user’s knowledge and permission through appropriate support tools. Access is limited to the work required and disconnected when the session has been completed.
Flexible Support Arrangements
Choose a support arrangement based on your users, locations, service hours and technical requirements, with the flexibility to adjust coverage as your business changes.

What is included in IT helpdesk support?

The exact services and response times will be defined in your support agreement.
What issues can your IT support help desk deal with?
Our experts have wide-ranging experience in various aspects of IT, so there is little we can’t resolve or provide specialist guidance on, including issues with your bespoke applications.
Working remotely, we can install and upgrade software, configure changes to network settings, assist with password issues and offer user guidance for the likes of apps and updates. If an issue requires an onsite visit, perhaps to deal with a local hardware issue, then we’ll let you know straight away.
Your contract will outline what is and is not included in your personalised IT support help desk service, but rest assured we have the knowhow to deal with a wide scope of issues.
How quickly will your IT support help desk respond?
PC Docs provides a guaranteed response within two hours for support issues covered by your agreement. In practice, we respond to 99% of support tickets within just 10 minutes. Each request is assessed according to its urgency and business impact, allowing our technicians to prioritise critical problems and begin resolving them as quickly as possible.
How do employees contact the helpdesk?
Employees can contact the PC Docs helpdesk by telephone, email or through the online Client Portal, depending on the arrangements included in your support agreement. Each request is assessed and prioritised according to its urgency and business impact, allowing our technicians to respond appropriately and keep users informed.
Can you support remote and hybrid employees?
Yes. Our technicians can securely assist employees working from home, in the office or across multiple locations. We can resolve most problems remotely, including account access, Microsoft 365, email, software, VPN and connectivity issues. This gives every employee access to consistent IT support, wherever they are working.
Is remote IT support secure?
Yes. Remote support sessions use secure access tools and are only started with the user’s knowledge and permission. Access is limited to what is required to diagnose or resolve the reported problem, and the technician disconnects when the session is complete. PC Docs follows appropriate security and data-protection procedures throughout the support process.
Do you offer on-site IT support?
Yes. While most IT problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently through remote support, we can arrange an on-site engineer when physical access to equipment or infrastructure is required. On-site support is available across London, Hertfordshire, Essex and the wider South East, subject to your support agreement and location.
Do you provide an outsourced IT helpdesk?
Yes. PC Docs can act as your complete outsourced IT helpdesk, giving your employees direct access to experienced technicians without the cost of maintaining a full in-house support team. We manage support requests, troubleshoot technical problems and escalate more complex issues, with a service tailored to your users, systems and working requirements.
Can you work alongside our internal IT team?
Yes. Our co-managed IT helpdesk support can complement your existing IT team by providing additional expertise, capacity or out-of-hours cover. We can handle routine user requests, provide specialist assistance and manage agreed escalations, allowing your internal team to concentrate on strategic projects and business priorities.
What is fully managed IT support?
Fully managed IT support means outsourcing the day-to-day management and support of your business technology to a specialist provider. Depending on your agreement, this can include helpdesk assistance, proactive monitoring, maintenance, cyber security, Microsoft 365 management, backups and strategic advice for a predictable monthly fee.
How much do your IT help desk support services cost?
Costs vary depending on various factors such as location, precise requirements and the level of technical experience required. We tailor our IT support helpdesk packages to suit the individual needs of a business, and you are welcome to contact us for a bespoke quotation.
To give you an idea of costs, however, fixed rate IT support based on a Service Level Agreement starts from as little as £15 plus VAT per calendar month. This gives you access to our expert IT support helpdesk. We also offer ad-hoc IT support London-wide starting from £100 plus VAT per hour. This needs to be pre-paid in blocks of 5 hours.
Please do get in touch should you require a more precise quotation for IT help desk support services.
What is an outsourced IT helpdesk?
An outsourced IT helpdesk gives your employees access to an external team of technicians rather than relying entirely on in-house staff. PC Docs can manage everyday support requests, troubleshoot problems, assist users and escalate more complex issues according to an agreed support arrangement.
Can you work alongside our existing IT team?
Yes. PC Docs can provide co-managed helpdesk support alongside an IT manager or internal technical team. We can supply additional capacity, handle routine user requests or provide expertise in agreed systems, helping your internal staff concentrate on strategic and specialist work.
How much does IT helpdesk support cost?
The cost depends on factors such as employee numbers, devices, locations, support hours, systems covered and required response times. PC Docs assesses these requirements before recommending a suitable fixed-price, managed or flexible support arrangement.
Can you help us switch from another IT provider?
Yes. PC Docs can review your existing systems, documentation, licences, administrator access and outstanding technical issues before creating a structured transition plan. Coordination with the outgoing provider helps transfer information and reduce disruption to employees.
What is the difference between helpdesk and emergency IT support?
IT helpdesk support handles routine technical problems and user requests during the service hours defined in your agreement. Emergency IT support is intended for urgent, business-critical incidents that require rapid assistance outside normal arrangements or cannot wait for routine handling.
