Sectors at a glance
Which industries does AIS Technology support, and what changes by sector?
AIS Technology supports small and medium businesses in five sectors across Essex and London: finance, consultancy, legal, recruitment and construction. The underlying plan is the same for all of them, at £35 per device per month on a one-hour response SLA, with Microsoft 365 licensing bought separately. What changes by sector is the compliance work wrapped around it and where the risk sits.
For a finance firm that means FCA and GDPR-ready systems and an audit trail. For a consultancy it means Microsoft 365 collaboration that holds up across multiple client projects. For construction it means connectivity and device management on sites that are not offices. AIS Technology manages IT for more than 600 users across these sectors from its base in Wickford, Essex.
| Sector | What the IT is judged on | What gets added to the standard plan |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | Regulatory exposure and uptime through reporting periods | FCA and GDPR alignment, audit-ready reporting, client data protection |
| Consultancy | Collaboration across many client projects at once | Microsoft 365 collaboration, secure hybrid working, multi-client network separation |
| Legal | Confidentiality and retention of client matter files | Access control, retention policy, secure document handling |
| Recruitment | Availability of the CRM and continuity of candidate data | Line-of-business application support, backup and recovery |
| Construction | Connectivity and devices away from a fixed office | Mobile device security, site connectivity, hardware lifecycle |
Finance and consultancy have dedicated pages covering the sector requirements in full. The other three are supported under the same managed IT plan.
Our Approach
IT shaped around your sector, not the other way around.
Every industry uses technology differently. Consultancy firms live on fast collaboration. Finance teams demand accuracy and compliance. We start by understanding how you actually work, then build IT support that fits.
Understanding, not assumption
We learn your workflows, tools and pressures before we recommend a thing, so every detail of your support fits your industry.
Compliance built in
Systems aligned to the standards your sector answers to, from FCA and GDPR to ISO, with the audit trail to prove it.
Real people, not tickets
You speak to engineers who know your setup and your sense of urgency. No scripts, and no waiting days for a fix.
Resilience that scales
As your team grows or your compliance needs change, your infrastructure keeps up. Stable, secure and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
IT support for your industry, answered
Do you provide different levels of IT support for different industries?+
Yes. Our managed IT packages flex to the demands of each sector. A consultancy firm might need reliable Microsoft 365 support and Wi-Fi management for remote collaboration, while a finance team focuses more on data protection, compliance and rapid response. One plan covers every sector: 24/7 threat detection, a dedicated Security Operations Centre and a one-hour response guarantee are included as standard, and the optional compliance portal is there for sectors with heavier regulatory demands.
What kind of businesses are these packages designed for?+
Our plans are built for SMEs across London and Essex that depend on Microsoft 365 and need consistent, secure support without the cost of a full in-house team. We work with industries like finance, consultancy, legal, recruitment and construction, each with its own challenges but the same need for reliable IT.
Is there a long-term contract or commitment?+
No. Our IT support packages run on a three-month rolling contract, giving you flexibility without long-term lock-in. We believe clients stay because of service quality, not contract length.
How quickly can you respond to IT issues?+
Every plan guarantees a one-hour response. Our service desk is available 24/7, and we resolve most issues remotely on first contact, so there is no waiting days for a callback.
Is Microsoft 365 fully managed within your packages?+
Yes. The plan includes full Microsoft 365 management: tenant administration, backup and recovery, security updates and licence setup, with the licences themselves bought separately. We handle permissions, email configuration and troubleshooting so your team can stay focused on work. The optional compliance portal adds tighter control over data and access for businesses that need it.
