The Cost of Unmanaged IT

What Bad IT Operations Is Costing You Right Now.

Every hour your IT team is firefighting instead of improving is a direct cost to the business. These are the operational consequences of reactive, unmanaged IT infrastructure.

Unplanned Downtime

£5,600

average cost per hour of IT outage — Gartner, 2023

  • Lost employee productivity across all affected users
  • Revenue impact from interrupted transactions
  • Customer trust and SLA penalty exposure

Reactive IT Support

3.5 hrs

average time a business user waits for IT resolution without a managed service

  • Compounding frustration and shadow IT workarounds
  • IT teams stuck in ticket queues instead of strategic work
  • Skills and talent wasted on break-fix cycles

Cloud Overspend

32%

of cloud spend is wasted in organisations without active FinOps management — Flexera

  • Idle and oversized resources left running 24/7
  • No visibility into workload rightsizing opportunities
  • Reserved instance purchases made without forecasting

Security Exposure

71 days

average dwell time of an undetected threat in organisations without 24/7 monitoring — IBM

  • Unpatched vulnerabilities across servers and endpoints
  • No real-time alerting on anomalous access or behaviour
  • Data exfiltration risk multiplying with every day undetected

Progressive Robot's managed IT operations model is designed to eliminate every one of these cost drivers. Average client downtime drops by 94% within 90 days of onboarding.

Our Services

Five Service Areas. One Managed Operation.

From the physical layer up to the end user — we manage every tier of your IT stack so nothing falls through the gap between providers.

01

Infrastructure Management

We manage and optimise your physical and virtual infrastructure — servers, storage, networking, and virtualisation platforms — ensuring high availability, predictable performance, and capacity ahead of demand. SLA-backed with named engineers.

  • Server & storage provisioning and lifecycle management
  • Hypervisor and virtualisation platform operations (VMware, Hyper-V)
  • Capacity planning and proactive rightsizing
02

Cloud Operations

Multi-cloud operational management across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. We handle day-to-day cloud operations including workload optimisation, cost governance, security posture, and continuous automation — without you needing a dedicated cloud ops team.

  • Cloud cost optimisation and FinOps governance
  • Workload scheduling, autoscaling, and rightsizing
  • IaC-driven change management with full audit trail
03

IT Support & Help Desk

A fully staffed, SLA-backed help desk that your teams can rely on. We handle Tier 1–3 support across hardware, software, identity, and connectivity — with first-call resolution targets, escalation paths, and a ticketing system your team can see.

  • Tiered support (L1/L2/L3) with defined escalation paths
  • Self-service portal and knowledge base management
  • Monthly service reports with SLA compliance metrics
04

Network & Security Management

End-to-end network operations including firewall management, VPN, VLAN, and SD-WAN — combined with proactive security monitoring to protect your perimeter and internal traffic. Incidents detected, triaged, and resolved — not just logged.

  • Firewall rule management and quarterly security audits
  • Network traffic analysis and anomaly alerting
  • Patch management across all network-connected devices
05

Performance Monitoring & Observability

Continuous monitoring across all managed systems — infrastructure, applications, and services. We detect anomalies before they become incidents, maintain full observability, and provide the dashboards your leadership team actually wants to see.

  • 24/7 monitoring with PagerDuty-integrated alerting
  • Monthly trending reports and capacity forecasts
  • Executive dashboard: uptime, MTTR, ticket trends

IT Operations Audit

Does Your IT Operations Have
Any of These Problems?

Most organisations we speak to are experiencing at least one of these. If any of these sound familiar, a free IT Operations Audit will tell you exactly how to fix it.

Diagnostic Question 01

Is your team spending more time firefighting IT issues than on strategic work?

If Yes Your IT team is operating reactively. Without proactive monitoring and automation, this will compound as the business grows.
We automate and monitor, so your team can focus on value work

Diagnostic Question 02

Do you have limited visibility into what your cloud spend is actually buying?

If Yes The industry average cloud waste is 32%. Without FinOps governance and workload rightsizing, the overspend will grow with every new workload.
We deliver daily cost visibility and eliminate idle spend within 30 days

Diagnostic Question 03

Is your infrastructure uptime below 99.9%, or are outages affecting business operations?

If Yes At £5,600/hr average downtime cost, every additional outage hour has a direct and measurable business impact. This is fixable with the right ops model.
Our clients achieve 99.97% uptime within 90 days of onboarding
