As a leading Managed IT Service provider we deliver individually tailored, specific IT support to our clients. By providing a complete, outsourced IT department we take on the management and support of your IT systems, giving you peace of mind to concentrate on what you do best; working on behalf of your customers.

Managed IT support includes:

Testimonial: From a Company Director of a Leading automotive dealership chain
“Over the years I think I have spoken with most of your Engineers and all of your team have been knowledgeable in relation to the Group infrastructure and applications, which made your IT support role easier when assisting personnel with resolving issues.
My main contact was normally with Martin and Matthew, and both understand the Motor Trade, which always helps.
I would say Direct Data Systems would be within the top 5% of IT companies we have dealt with, based upon your Engineers’ knowledge and ability in relation to the Motor Trade.”
