IT SUPPORT IN KENT
The leading IT partner to Kent organisations.
Akita provides hassle-free, effective IT support for organisations across Kent and the wider South East.
With one of the largest helpdesk teams in Kent, we offer fast responses to IT issues and can deal with problems at scale. And we’re available 24/7, meaning expertise and IT consultancy is available when you need it.
We’re also cost-effective: our support service is typically between 25-40% cheaper than in-house IT. And for that, your organisation gets access to a whole team’s worth of expertise.
Alongside our IT helpdesk, we embrace a proactive IT support approach. Through steps such as care of IT infrastructure, undertaking updates and security patching, and monitoring long-term hardware performance, we proactively prevent issues from occurring. In turn, this reduces IT-related downtime – saving time and saving money.

IT Support In Kent FAQs
What Time Is Your IT Support Available?
Our standard hours for IT support are 9am to 5pm. However, we also offer both extended hours and 24-hour IT support for Kent organisations that operate non-standard hours or who have international operations.
What’s Included In IT Support?
Our support service includes unlimited helpdesk tickets for support and ‘how-to’ enquiries, proactive support that reduces IT downtime, and 24/7 systems monitoring.
All customers are also assigned an account manager to monitor your service and help to ensure we’re working with you efficiently as possible.
What Are Your IT Response Times?
As per our SLA, we address all support requests within 2 hours - though in practice requests are typically addressed within 20 minutes. We also prioritise requests on severity, so business-critical issues are addressed first.
For the less than 1% of support requests that require us to come to your location, we guarantee a visit within 4 hours.
Where Do You Provide IT Support?
As an IT company, we work with organisations across Kent and the wider South East. We work with Kent customers in locations including Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Kings Hill, Tonbridge, Paddock Wood, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford, Swanley, Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Ashford, Canterbury, Whitstable, Brighton, Folkestone and Dover.
Can You Provide IT Support To Our Remote Users?
Yes. Our remote support technology allows us to deliver IT support to remote users as effectively as office-based users.
Do You Offer IT Support By The Hour?
While we provide ad hoc IT services and projects, we don’t provide IT support by the hour.
Why Do I Need IT Support?
IT support is vital for keeping your IT systems operating and secure. Without it, businesses can easily lose their information to cybercrime, viruses or system errors. IT support also ensures that your employees remain productive and aren’t disrupted by technology not working as it should.
Akita’s IT support services are up to 40% cheaper than the cost of an in-house IT hire. Plus with the scale of our expertise, we can help you strategically develop your IT setup far better.
