Why Helios

The IT partner that thinks like an owner

Most companies do not need a bigger IT team — they need one that is proactive, accountable and easy to reach. That is the gap Helios IT was built to close.

We run your infrastructure the way we would run our own: patched, monitored and backed up, with security baked in rather than bolted on. When something breaks, you talk to an engineer who already knows your environment — not a stranger reading a script.

And because everything is a fixed monthly price, our incentives point the same way yours do: keep things running, prevent the fire, and plan the next step before it becomes urgent.

How onboarding works

From first call to fully managed in three weeks

A structured onboarding means no gaps in cover and no nasty surprises later.

  1. 1

    Audit & discovery

    We map your infrastructure, users and risks, then hand you a plain-English report with the quick wins first.

  2. 2

    Stabilise & secure

    We close the urgent gaps — MFA, patching, backups and monitoring go on every device in week one.

  3. 3

    Transition to managed

    Documentation, tooling and helpdesk go live. Your team gets one number to call and one portal to check.

  4. 4

    Improve continuously

    Quarterly reviews turn the roadmap into action, so your IT gets a little better every single month.

Client stories

Trusted by teams that cannot afford downtime

“We moved 180 people to Microsoft 365 over a single weekend and nobody noticed on Monday — which is exactly how a migration should feel.”
Sandra Vogel COO, Werkbund Manufacturing
“The helpdesk actually answers. After years of tickets disappearing into a void, having a named engineer who knows us has changed how the whole company works.”
Tobias Reinhardt Managing Director, Nordlicht Media
“When a supplier got hit by ransomware, Helios walked us through our own defences in an afternoon. We slept fine that night. That is what we pay for.”
Dr. Petra Lang CFO, Rhein-Chemie GmbH

Questions

What clients ask before they switch

How is Helios IT priced?

A simple fixed price per user, per month that includes unlimited helpdesk, monitoring, patching, security tooling and backups. Projects such as a cloud migration are quoted separately and always up front — no hourly surprises on your monthly bill.

How fast do you respond when something breaks?

Our SLA is a 30-minute response for standard issues and 15 minutes for anything business-critical, around the clock for managed clients. In practice the helpdesk answers most calls in under a minute.

Do we have to move everything to the cloud?

No. We meet your infrastructure where it is. Plenty of our clients run a hybrid setup, and we only recommend moving a workload to the cloud when it genuinely lowers cost, risk or effort.

What happens to our existing IT person or team?

They usually love us. We take the repetitive helpdesk load and the 2 a.m. alerts off their plate so they can focus on the projects that actually move your business forward.

Can you help us pass an ISO 27001 or NIS2 audit?

Yes. Security and documentation are part of how we run every client, so the evidence auditors ask for already exists. We regularly take clients through certification and supplier security reviews.
