How We Work
Whether you're outsourcing for the first time, improving how IT is managed, or switching from a provider, Sereno gives you one clear place for support, decisions and accountability.
Fast, practical IT support for your team, with issues owned from first request through to resolution.
The everyday IT admin that keeps your business running, managed properly behind the scenes.
Guidance that keeps your IT stable, secure and aligned with how your business works.
Our IT Support Services
Hear directly from our founder on why Sereno was built for London businesses that want IT support that does more than fix problems when they happen.
He explains what makes Sereno different as an IT support company: direct access to engineers, fewer recurring tickets, automation that removes admin, and strategic guidance, for an IT experience that feels proactive, human and easy to rely on.
The problems we solve
Is IT still taking more time than it should? These are the issues we’re most often brought in to fix.
Your employees should not be troubleshooting issues, coordinating fixes or managing suppliers. We manage the IT environment in the background so your team can stay focused on their real work.
Tasks like onboarding new starters, securing leavers, managing devices and controlling access should not fall on your staff. We fully own these processes so nothing is missed.
You will always know what is being worked on and what is coming next. We communicate clearly, keep requests moving and take responsibility for seeing issues through without you having to follow up.
Your team should not be waiting around for IT help. We make it easy to get support through instant chat, simple booking or direct contact, then deal with the issue without pulling your staff into the detail.
We do not believe in temporary fixes. When issues repeat, we take a proactive approach by investigating the root cause, putting a permanent solution in place, and tracking it so the same problem does not keep resurfacing.
We help you understand what you are spending, why it matters and where improvements can be made. Our advice focuses on long-term value, not unnecessary upgrades.
We help you plan ahead with an IT roadmap aligned to growth, security, budget and business objectives, with strategic advice that supports long-term growth and keeps the business forward.

Getting started
A clear 30-day path from first conversation to going live, most of the work happens behind the scenes.
Day 1
30-minute call
We introduce you to the engineer leading your transition, explain the process, confirm timeframes and outline exactly what we need from you.
Days 2–5
No involvement
We contact your current provider directly and manage the handover on your behalf, so you do not need to chase, coordinate or manage the awkward parts.
Days 6–15
30–60 minutes, only where needed
We review your IT environment, document your systems, users, devices and access points, and identify anything that needs attention before go-live.
Days 16–20
No involvement
We put the right management tools in place so we can properly support your users, devices and systems without disrupting your team.
Days 21–25
30-minute call
We align on the processes that matter most, including onboarding, offboarding, access control, approvals and device standards.
Days 26–30
15–20 minute team video call
We show your team how to raise support requests, what to expect from Sereno and how the support process works. Once everything is ready, support goes live on the agreed date.
Service standards
Fast replies matter, but good IT support is measured by more than speed. Our Customer Experience Agreement (CXA) is the standard we hold ourselves to, built into our contracts, how we review service, and how our team is measured.
Service standards that support the experience
7am–7pm · IT support across the working day
Your team gets reliable weekday support across the working day, with clear routes to reach an engineer when help is needed.
24/7 · Managed security services available
For businesses that need additional protection, we can provide 24/7 managed security services to help monitor and respond to cyber threats outside normal support hours.
90% · Average SLA adherence
We measure and report on whether we meet our agreed response and resolution targets, with current average SLA adherence at around 90%.
98% · Customer satisfaction score
We ask for feedback across service desk interactions and use it to measure the quality of the experience your team receives.
76% · Service requests resolved same day
Most requests are resolved on the same day they are raised, even when some are scheduled around your team’s availability or booked directly with an engineer.
Every interaction should feel clear, helpful and properly owned. Our Customer Experience Agreement (CXA) backs it with a 95%+ quarterly Customer Experience minimum, fall short and we agree a Service Improvement Plan, with no contract lock-in.
How it worksWe ask for feedback across every interaction, support requests, account management, projects and communication, because all of these shape your experience.
If your Customer Experience score drops below our 95% minimum over a quarter, we proactively review what happened, agree a clear Service Improvement Plan with you, take action and review progress over the next three months.
If you're still unhappy after the plan, we won't hold you to your contract terms and will support your move to another provider if that is what you choose.
What about SLAs?
We set & report response/resolution targets, but measure more than speed.
We still set, measure and report on response and resolution targets, your team should know what to expect. But SLAs are not the standard we build our service around. Customer Experience is. A ticket can be answered within target and still leave someone frustrated, unclear, or facing the same issue next week.
Our CXA measures what matters most: clear communication, ownership, professionalism, quality of resolution and whether issues stay resolved. SLAs tell you how quickly we respond; CXA tells you whether Sereno is delivering the service, support and accountability you're paying for, the difference between a provider that closes tickets and a partner that improves your IT experience.
How our support priorities work
Not every IT request has the same urgency, so we prioritise by business impact, critical issues get urgent attention while planned changes and setup requests are handled within clear timeframes.
| Priority | When it applies | Response | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | More than one person is affected by the same issue, or a business-critical system is stopping multiple people from working. | 15 minutes | 1 hour |
| High | One person is unable to work, or the request is raised by a VIP user. | 30 minutes | 2 hours |
| Medium | A change request, such as access to a file, folder, mailbox or system. | 1 hour | 4 hours |
| Low | Planned work, such as a new employee setup request or a new laptop or PC build. | 2 hours | 8 hours |

Quick answers to the most common questions about Sereno, our service standards and how we work with London businesses.
IT support is the day-to-day management, technical support and guidance that keeps your business technology running properly. Sereno acts as an extension of your business by managing users, devices, cloud services, security, procurement and ongoing IT advice.
Typically this includes
Best practice: Good IT support should reduce operational pressure, improve reliability and give your team a clear place to go when they need help.
You need IT support if technology is slowing productivity, creating risk or taking too much time away from your internal team. A professional IT partner helps stabilise systems, reduce downtime and improve security while supporting business growth.
Common signs you need support
Best practice: A good IT provider should proactively monitor systems and act before problems develop, not just respond when something breaks.
The right IT support depends on your team size, systems, security requirements and internal capability. Most growing SMEs benefit from fully managed support that combines helpdesk, security, cloud management and strategic guidance.
Typically this is best for
Best practice: Choose a provider that takes ownership proactively rather than acting like a reactive ticket desk.
London managed IT services are ongoing support, maintenance and management services for local businesses that keep your technology environment stable, secure and easy to run. They provide continuous ownership rather than ad-hoc fixes.
Typically this includes
Best practice: Managed services work best when the provider proactively standardises and improves your environment over time.
Outsourced IT support gives your business access to a broader team of specialists without the cost and overhead of hiring internally. It helps reduce operational burden while improving reliability and security.
Key benefits
Best practice: The best outsourced IT relationships feel like a trusted partner that works as an extension of your business, not a disconnected supplier.

Typically this includes
Locations we support: Sereno supports London businesses across a broad range of areas and office setups, including Hammersmith, Marylebone, Clerkenwell, London Bridge and Soho.
Best practice: IT support should remove responsibility from your internal team, not create more coordination, handovers or hidden admin.
Yes. Sereno provides IT support for growing London SMEs that need structure, ownership and reliable support without building a full internal IT department.
Typically this is suitable for
Best practice: Smaller businesses benefit most when IT is standardised early before operational complexity increases.
IT support pricing depends on user count, service scope, security requirements and the level of ownership required. Sereno provides transparent pricing so businesses understand what is included before switching provider.
Pricing usually includes
Best practice: Businesses usually get better long-term results from IT support that includes proactive management, clear standards and ongoing strategic guidance.
Yes. Sereno provides remote IT support for businesses across London and hybrid teams working remotely, in-office or across shared workspaces. Most issues can be resolved remotely quickly and efficiently.

Yes. Sereno helps businesses reduce cyber risk through practical, business-appropriate security controls and ongoing management.
Typically this includes
Best practice: Good cybersecurity should improve protection without making everyday work harder for your team.
Yes, if you are looking for a proactive IT partner that takes ownership rather than a reactive ticket-only helpdesk. Sereno focuses on long-term operational improvement, communication and accountability.
Businesses we are typically a good fit for
Best practice: When comparing providers, focus on ownership, communication, onboarding and proactive improvement, not just response times.
Sereno provides IT support across London, including Greater London, Central London, North, East, West and South London. We support businesses in office-based, remote and hybrid environments, including teams working from home, shared workspaces and multiple London locations.
Areas commonly supported
Best practice: Modern IT support should work seamlessly for office-based, hybrid and remote teams alike.
If your team is still chasing IT issues, managing admin or making technology decisions without clear guidance, it may be time to hand IT over to a partner that takes ownership.
