Quick answers
Things people ask before signing.
The most common questions on this service. If yours isn't here, send it through — we reply within one business day.
What does the contract look like?
Engagements run on a 1-year minimum term, renewable annually. Multi-year terms unlock published discounts (Y2: 10% off recurring service + 5% off support; Y3: 20% off recurring + 10% off support). Onboarding is the first 90 days, Discovery, Stabilise, Optimise, Plan, so you see what we do early, against contractual response and resolution targets, and you keep your documentation either way.
How fast is your response?
Average first response is under four minutes during business hours, and P1 incidents are picked up 24/7 by an on-call engineer. Every ticket is answered by a human first, never an auto-reply.
Where are your engineers based?
All helpdesk and incident response is delivered by our Sydney-based Australian team. Onsite work nationwide is delivered. Nothing is offshored, including after-hours.
Do you support our existing kit, or do we need to replace everything?
We support the kit you have. Onboarding starts with a 2-week audit to document your environment, then we operate it. Replacements only happen when warranty expires or a device is a risk.
How does pricing work?
Per-seat per-month, all-inclusive, endpoints, patching, EDR, backup, helpdesk hours, and a quarterly review are bundled. No per-ticket charges, no surprise after-hours rates inside the SLA.
Do you offer dedicated small business IT support in Sydney?
Yes. Small business IT support in Sydney is one of our most-requested segments. The same managed IT contract scales down for businesses from 5 staff upward, with the same SLA targets and the same Sydney service desk. Most small-business engagements start with a Bronze (4 hrs/mo, $400) or Silver (12 hrs/mo, $1,080) support package alongside per-workstation EDR coverage. We don't run a separate 'small business' tier with worse service levels, the contract is the same; only the size of the support pool differs.
How does remote IT support work?
Most issues resolve without anyone leaving the Sydney service desk. Modern endpoint management (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Intune, RMM agent), Azure-based identity (Microsoft Entra ID), and cloud-first email and file storage mean almost everything you'd previously need a technician onsite for, account creation, software install, security incident, identity reset, can be done remotely with full audit trail. Onsite is the exception, used for hardware swaps, cabling, and physical site walks.
What separates SDS from other managed IT services providers in Sydney?
Three things. First, the rate card is published on the website (most MSPs make you book a sales call to see prices). Second, all delivery is from a Sydney-based Australian team, the service desk is not offshored. Third, support is sold as included monthly hours in 15-minute increments, not 1-hour minimums, so a 5-minute task and a 15-minute task each consume 15 minutes of pool, not an hour.
Do you support business IT outside the Sydney CBD?
Yes. Business IT support in Sydney covers the whole metro area. Western Sydney (Parramatta, Penrith, Blacktown, Liverpool, Bankstown), Northern Beaches (Manly, Brookvale), Lower and Upper North Shore (North Sydney, Chatswood, Hornsby), Eastern Suburbs (Bondi Junction), Inner West (Burwood). The Sydney service desk handles all remote work; our technicians cover onsite delivery in every suburb.
