IT Support for Manchester Businesses

Practical technology support, cyber security, Microsoft 365 and business assurance for growing businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester.

Who We Help

Altitude IT works with small and medium-sized businesses across Manchester city centre and the wider Greater Manchester area. Our clients are typically owner-managed or director-led businesses in professional services, creative and media agencies, financial and legal practices, logistics, construction and healthcare — anywhere that depends on reliable, secure technology to operate and serve clients.

Problems We Help Solve

• Reactive IT Support — waiting for something to break before acting
• Microsoft 365 Security Gaps — licences purchased but security features not configured
• Backup Reliability — backups assumed to be working but never restore-tested
• Cyber Risk Exposure — email security misconfigured, MFA inconsistent, no formal review
• Business Continuity — no tested plan for ransomware, hardware failure or key person leaving
• Licence and Cost Control — paying for unused or misassigned Microsoft 365 licences

Our Approach

We begin by understanding your business, not by selling a product or long-term support contract. Every engagement starts with a structured assessment that produces a practical, prioritised technology roadmap.

Local and Remote Delivery

Most IT support, reviews and security work is delivered remotely. For Manchester businesses that need onsite attendance — hardware, infrastructure changes or hands-on support — that can be arranged as part of a planned engagement.

Thinking About Switching IT Provider?

The most common problem businesses encounter when changing IT company is arriving at the handover without a clear picture of what they own. Altitude IT can carry out an independent review before, during or after a transition.

Things worth verifying before you switch: Microsoft 365 tenant ownership and admin access; domain name ownership and DNS control; security products, licensing and configuration; backup coverage and restore verification; Microsoft 365 licence assignment and billing; administrator accounts, supplier access and credentials; connectivity contracts; support contract terms and notice periods.
