# A tech department, without hiring one

> I act as your in-house tech team on a monthly basis. I look after your website and business software, keep your tools updated, deal with vendors and answer your team's questions. You get one person who already knows your systems, instead of a different freelancer each time something breaks. I do this for a printer ink and toner supplier.

Service: Ongoing tech management. Fits: Owners who rely on websites, software and tools but have nobody in charge of them.

## Signs you need this

- Nobody owns the website, the software or the accounts behind them.
- You call a different freelancer each time something breaks, and each starts from zero.
- Domains, hosting and subscriptions are scattered across different people's emails.
- Your staff lose time to tech problems nobody has the job of fixing.
- You are not sure which software you pay for or whether you still need it.

## What is included?

- **Support** for your team when something does not work.
- **Updates and fixes** for your website and business software.
- **Vendors, domains, hosting and subscriptions** managed in one place, so you know what you have and what it costs.
- **Tool choice and setup**, so your team uses systems that fit, such as shared documents and databases for internal processes.
- **Documentation** of your systems and processes, so the knowledge does not sit in one person's head.
- **Improvements** as your business changes, including new features for the systems I have built for you.

## How does it work?

1. **I review what you have:** your website, software, accounts and tools.
2. **I document it and fix the biggest risks first.**
3. **I look after it month to month:** support, updates and improvements.
4. **We keep a running list** of what to improve next, in the order that helps your business most.

## Do I need a retainer to work with you?

No. You can hire me for a single project, on a monthly retainer, or part-time inside your team. See the [engagement models](https://www.abdullahkaleem.live/services#engagement) for how each works.
