A practical starting point for Brighton & Hove
An agency collaborating with freelancers
When reviewing IT support for a Brighton & Hove business, start with the workflow that would hurt most if it stopped. Consider a creative agency bringing freelancers into client projects for a few weeks at a time. Designers need accessible shared files, but the business also needs a reliable way to recover work and remove access when a project is complete. Bring your user count, important applications and business postcodes to the review. The proposal can then distinguish everyday remote support from any agreed onsite work or specialist project.
Illustrative business scenario — use it to identify the questions that matter in your own organisation.
Give collaborators the right access
Use named accounts and project-specific permissions for freelancers instead of circulating shared passwords. Decide who approves external sharing, how long links remain available and how access is checked at the end of an engagement. The result should be a practical decision your management team can understand and authorise with confidence.
Keep project data recoverable
Identify where final artwork, working files and client approvals actually live. Check the difference between synchronising a folder and maintaining a recoverable backup, then agree practical recovery priorities for active projects. Keep the agreed record available to the people who authorise changes and coordinate the business response.
Support the device mix
Record which Macs, Windows computers and personally owned devices are within the support agreement. Set clear expectations for software compatibility, supported operating systems and the access controls required before client work is downloaded. Discuss this before comparing plans, so the service description reflects your actual users, systems and locations.
How we support your business in Brighton & Hove
Our UK helpdesk provides a central route for your team. We agree the covered users, devices, locations and applications, then document onboarding and escalation responsibilities. The service is provided through an ongoing monthly agreement.
39Support’s operational office is in North Weald, Essex. Brighton & Hove is a service area, rather than a branch location. Physical attendance, travel arrangements and any site-specific response requirement are confirmed for your postcodes in the proposal.
Microsoft 365, devices and identity
Where appropriate, we combine Microsoft 365 Business Premium licensing with Intune management and Entra identity controls. Licence subscriptions, management and any Azure resource costs are itemised. Planned onsite cyber security and AI training can support your people as part of the agreed programme.
