Well, what can we say? After months of hard work behind the scenes, hours of blood, sweat and tears (and the odd glass of vino along the way), WLS IT Solutions is officially up and running.

The brainchild of managing director Dan Rowbottom, WLS IT Solutions has been in business for over a year now and has already built up an impressive portfolio of satisfied customers. We have more than 60 years’ combined experience to help your business flourish.

So, what exactly does WLS IT Solutions do? Well, for starters, we offer businesses value for money services, excellent customer support and client satisfaction.

Yes, we’ve got plenty of acronyms in our name, so let’s spell things out for you in more detail.

IT Security

A recent study stated only a quarter of business leaders across Europe, the Middle East and Africa are confident in their current cyber security, and less than a fifth are confident in the readiness of their people and talent to address security concerns.

Almost a third of organisations across Europe have in excess of 26 individual non-integrated security point products installed across their enterprise – each with their own user interface, management policies and skillset requirements – so it’s clear there’s a security issue that needs addressing.

The UK’s cybersecurity sector is estimated to be worth more than £8.3 billion. It was reported that Europe’s cybersecurity skills gap doubled in 2018, with 291,000 more security professionals needed to meet business demand last year.

That’s why we want to play a role in protecting our thriving digital economy and help to keep people and businesses safe online.

Tackling the risks

We’ll identify all IT risks your business could come up against – because you can’t prioritise effectively if you don’t understand what makes you vulnerable.

Control risks, systemic risks and integration risks must all be accounted for.

Once we’ve identified all potential risks, we’ll assess the likelihood and probable impact of them. We’ll make risks that fall into the high likelihood category our priority.

Then, once the risks have been identified and assessed, we’ll develop a process to address the existing vulnerabilities of your business and protect against future risks.

This may include more frequent training and improved IT hygiene, vulnerability scans, penetration testing etc.

This will give your company peace of mind that you’re in safe hands.

IT Support

Technology supports almost everything in the workplace across the UK. So, when it goes wrong, there is a negative impact on productivity, growth, employee and customer satisfaction.

WLS IT Solutions exists to ensure you’re fully supported at all times.

We appreciate that finding the right IT Support for your business can be a minefield, with so many services on offer.

We’ll help you adopt the right technology for your business and offer expert advice and guidance when you need it most.

Led by technical manager Tony Darch, our IT support professionals have in–depth knowledge of a wide range of infrastructures, security, mail systems and applications.

IT Services

You can rely on us to deal with all software issues, hardware faults and breakages. We combine the friendliness, flexibility and convenience of a local firm alongside the skills and expertise of large corporate IT operations. Just ask our current clients.

And there’s more. We offer unlimited telephone assistance and remote access support; local on-site support; a dedicated IT manager; 24/7 monitoring, maintenance and management, plus rolling monthly contracts.

We also offer email and collaboration services; Office 365; Skype for Business; Cloud Services; Microsoft Hyper-V; Vmware; System Centre; GDPR Services; IT Consultancy; IT installations, not to mention running your network and security. Your business will be in safe hands.

But lots of IT companies offer all this – what makes you any different?

Fair question. But how many IT firms offer a complete social media marketing strategy for your company on top of this?

Most likely your business is dealing with an external agency for its social media output. There’s nothing wrong with that, but we can do it for you while keeping your IT system in tip-top health.

If you’re looking to invest in social media to help grow your business, you’ve already made a wise decision.

Social media is one of the cheapest forms of marketing available, and one of the best reasons to use social media is that your customers are spending time on these channels.

Marketing through social media will help improve visibility and recognition for your brand.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linked In, You Tube, Pinterest – the list of possibilities is endless.

With 2.41 billion daily active users, Facebook is the most widely used social platform – and one we’ve got a successful track record with.

Our experience counts

Whether your business goal is brand awareness, website traffic, lead generation, or online conversions, Facebook should (and more than likely will) make a notable difference in reaching your goals when used properly.

Through our experience dealing with local businesses, we’ve found Facebook to be extremely effective in generating leads, increasing brand awareness and maximising sales.

However, Instagram comes very close behind Facebook and is a great option for businesses with or without an advertising budget.

You can grow your followers organically and grow the reach of your profile and posts organically, too.

Perhaps you want to try Twitter adverts or Google Ad Words – whatever your preference, we can help.

Your business social media profiles offer new opportunities to share your content and really present your brand’s voice and personality for new leads and current customers.

So, whether it’s social media marketing, IT support or IT security your company needs – or all three – get in touch with us and see how we can make a difference.
