IT services in Malta
Remote management for Maltese offices, delivered in English, an official language there, which makes this the least awkward country on this list to work with from a distance.
What we deliver wherever you are
Most of what a managed IT provider does is not tied to a place. This part is identical in every country on this site.
- Service deskOne desk for your people, reachable by phone, mail or portal, with response times in the agreement rather than in an intention. In English, and in Dutch, French, Spanish or Turkish where that helps.
- Monitoring and maintenanceServers, network, endpoints and the cloud environment around them, watched continuously and patched on a rhythm that is written down. An alert nobody reads is switched off; an alarm that always goes off is not an alarm.
- Backup and recoveryCopies that cannot be altered afterwards, with the restore tested rather than assumed. A backup you have never restored is an assumption, not a safeguard.
- Identity and accessRights that match the role, multi-factor authentication, and joiners and leavers actually completed. This is the part that decays quietest and costs most when it fails.
- Reporting you can take to a boardWhat happened, what it cost in time, what is due for replacement and where capacity is tightening, per site, so a group can compare its countries.
What is different about Malta
We work in English, which is an official language in Malta. That removes the objection that opens most of these pages.
- On site is where our promise stopsWe do not have people in Malta and we do not claim to. Where physical work is needed (a rack, a switch, a device that will not boot) that is arranged per situation and named in the agreement. The promise that we come on site within hours, with our own staff and without subcontracting, is limited to the Netherlands and Belgium, and it stays there.
- NIS2 reaches you directlyMalta is an EU member state, so NIS2 applies through national law. What that law says exactly differs per country (in regulator, in registration duty and in how sectors are drawn) so check it with your own supervisor. Whether your organisation falls in scope is a legal qualification and not one an IT supplier makes. What we deliver is the technology and the record-keeping underneath it.
- Time zone and maintenance windowsMalta is on CET, the same as our team. A maintenance window agreed for your evening is our evening too, which is one fewer thing to translate.
What we tend to see in Malta
Malta is small enough that most organisations know their own IT landscape well, and what they usually want from a provider is depth on one subject rather than everything at once. That is a workable way to start: pick the part that hurts and leave the rest where it is.
How a first step usually looks
Three steps, and the first one is the one that decides whether the rest is right.
Record what is there
Devices, licences, accounts, connections and end dates, per site. In almost every takeover this brings up things nobody remembered, and it is the reason not to skip it.
Take over in groups
One site or one department first, with the old situation reachable while the new one proves itself. A big-bang cutover hits everyone on the same day.
Report on what you get out of it
Availability, what was resolved, what is due for replacement. Without that, management is a cost line without a face, and that is what gets cut first.
Where this connects
The wider picture, and where the on-site promise begins and ends.
Tell us where your sites are
Name the countries, the number of people per site and what is arranged locally today. We say what we take over, what stays where it is and where we are not the right partner.
