SUPPORTED TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

At S2.Group, we work hard to build what we call our “Supported Technology Platform”. We know that using products across this platform will provide a great foundation to operate your business from (we know this because we use ALL of the services below to run our company).

The Supported Technology Platform summarises the requirements that you need to have in place in order for us to meet our service obligations. We will update this list from time to time as certain technologies age and other technologies are released and tested by us. If an item requiring support does not meet our minimum standards, we may need to charge you for any extended time incurred supporting that item.

Our engineers are trained and keep up to date with technology across this core set of products to make sure that we can quickly, efficiently, and expertly assist you with working with those products.

Dealing with Chris at S2 on our new VOIP system has been a delight. No long delays at the helpdesk, no charges for everything. The only issue was my hesitation because I am used to phone system related issues taking forever to resolve and not the quick chat over the phone they are with S2.

S2 give us the same level of reassurance and service as a top quality in-house IT manager but without the associated costs.

"...this would not have been possible without the fantastic support of S2....your team have stepped up and consistently helped Malachi whenever we have asked....I am delighted that we put our trust in your capable hands."

By upgrading the IT infrastructure at our head office facility we can now provide instant access to all contractual information from any location in the UK with an internet connection.

The level of professionalism demonstrated by the team at S2 is second to none!

...we run 24/7, 365....we constantly need access to our systems.....without S2 we would come to a halt. I'd definitely recommend them, they've got a great service, good customer support, friendly, and always available...
