Hi Sarah — KB5036980 broke Pulse Secure on affected machines. I can see your device in the portal. Pushing a config fix now, won't need a restart.
Done ✓ — Pulse Secure should reconnect automatically. Let me know if the VPN icon shows green.
Working perfectly, thank you! That was fast.

The Cost of Inaction

What Happens Without
a Proper Help Desk

Every hour your team waits for IT support costs real money. These are common scenarios across organisations without a managed help desk.

Scenario 01

Board Presentation Failure

CFO's laptop freezes 10 minutes before a £200K pitch. In-house IT unreachable. The meeting is delayed two hours and the client withdraws.

Estimated Business Cost £200,000
With PR: Resolved remotely in 6 min
Scenario 02

Remote Team Locked Out

SSO portal goes down on a Monday morning. 60 remote staff can't log into Salesforce, Teams, or the dev environment. 3 hours of lost productivity.

Estimated Business Cost £18,000
With PR: SSO restored in 11 min
Scenario 03

Security Alert Ignored

Phishing email slips past filters. No help desk escalation path. Employee clicks the link. Data breach discovered 48 hours later during an audit.

Estimated Breach Cost £85,000
With PR: Alert triaged & blocked in 4 min
Scenario 04

Support Desk Overwhelmed

Internal 1-person IT team handles 200 tickets a week. Burnout leads to resignation. Three weeks pass before a replacement is hired. Backlog hits 600+.

Turnover + Backlog Cost £32,000
With PR: Scalable team, no single point of failure
