What is proactive IT support?

Proactive IT support is a broad term that covers assessing a businesses IT risks and over time putting in systems and processes that eliminate most of the IT risk in your business.

For example, a business with 10 staff may be all using Windows 10 computers, but Microsoft have stopped supporting Windows 10. So rather than waiting for the computers to be hacked due to a security hole, we proactively upgrade all those computers to Windows 11, so they have the latest security installed at all times.

Proactive IT support, is also known as Managed IT Services.

What is reactive IT support?

Reactive IT support is known as ad-hoc IT support or break-fix IT support. This type of IT support fixes IT problems once they have occurred.

For example, a server crashes and goes down, reactive IT support would involve going onsite, rebuilding the server and focusing on fixing the immediate problem.

The downsides with this include higher costs and potential downtime for the business.

If the business used a Managed Service Provider such as SouthEast IT, the server would have been decommissioned and migrated to the cloud, therefore removing the hardware risk of the server crashing.

Ultimately reactive IT support costs more, over the long term vs. Managed Services.
