    Business IT Support Case Studies

    Examples of the practical IT issues London businesses face, how support is delivered, and the outcomes businesses are looking for.

    Focused on real business problems, practical support, and clear outcomes.

    Built to show how London PC Fix supports small businesses without internal IT teams.

    What do these case studies show?

    This page shows examples of the kinds of IT problems London businesses commonly face, the support work involved, and the practical outcomes businesses need when they do not have an internal IT team.

    The focus is on business IT support, managed support, Microsoft 365 issues, Wi-Fi and network problems, office setup needs, troubleshooting, and on-site support across London.

    These examples are intended to help business owners and teams understand how practical IT support is applied in real working situations.

    Why case studies matter

    Businesses often want to understand not just what an IT provider says they do, but how that support applies in real situations.

    Shows how support works in practice

    Examples explain the kind of support involved and what the work actually looks like.

    Makes common IT problems easier to recognise

    Businesses often see their own situation in examples before they make contact.

    Helps compare support needs more clearly

    Structured examples help businesses decide whether ad-hoc or managed support fits better.

    Builds confidence before making contact

    Practical proof helps businesses feel clearer about what to expect from support.

    For small businesses without internal IT, practical examples help make support options easier to understand.

    Featured support scenarios

    The examples below show the kind of IT support situations London businesses commonly face and how they are resolved.

    Example support scenario

    Small professional services firm — 8 users, Central London office

    Problem

    The business was experiencing repeated Microsoft 365 login and access issues, including users locked out of accounts, email access problems, and inconsistent Teams meetings. There was no clear IT point of contact and no managed support in place.

    Support provided
    • Reviewed the Microsoft 365 tenancy and identified misconfigured user policies
    • Resolved login and access issues across all affected user accounts
    • Cleared conditional access conflicts causing Teams and email disruptions
    • Set up a simple IT support process so issues could be raised and resolved quickly going forward
    Outcome

    Day-to-day Microsoft 365 issues stopped recurring. The business now has a clear support contact and a consistent way to raise IT issues without disruption to the working day.

    Wi-Fi troubleshooting example

    Creative agency — 10 users, Shoreditch shared office building

    Problem

    The team was experiencing unreliable Wi-Fi that dropped throughout the day, particularly during video calls. The issue was intermittent and had been worked around for months without a proper fix.

    Support provided
    • Visited the office to assess the Wi-Fi setup and signal coverage in person
    • Identified interference from neighbouring networks and a poorly positioned access point
    • Reconfigured the network and repositioned equipment to improve coverage and stability
    • Tested connection stability during calls to confirm the issue was resolved
    Outcome

    Wi-Fi connectivity became stable across the office. Video calls ran without interruption and the team was no longer working around connectivity issues during client calls.

    New office setup example

    Consultancy firm — 6 users, new Victoria office

    Problem

    The business had moved into a new office and needed to get IT set up properly from scratch — including cabling, Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365 for the team, and device setup for new staff joining at the same time.

    Support provided
    • Assessed the office layout and planned the network and Wi-Fi setup
    • Installed and configured the Wi-Fi network and cabling
    • Set up Microsoft 365 user accounts, devices, and shared storage
    • Configured printers and meeting room equipment
    • Handed over with a clear setup summary for future reference
    Outcome

    The office IT was ready for the team on day one of moving in, with all devices, accounts, and connectivity working. Staff were able to start work without IT delays.

    Managed IT support example

    Small business — 5 users, South London office

    Problem

    The business had been handling IT issues informally, calling different contacts for different problems. Issues were taking too long to resolve and there was no consistent support. The owner wanted a single point of contact for all IT.

    Support provided
    • Assessed the existing setup, devices, and Microsoft 365 environment
    • Moved the business onto a managed IT support plan
    • Took over ongoing Microsoft 365 administration, device support, and day-to-day troubleshooting
    • Set up backup and basic security hardening for all devices
    Outcome

    The business moved from reactive, ad-hoc fixes to a stable, managed support relationship. IT issues are raised and resolved through a single contact, and the owner no longer manages IT problems directly.

    Backup and recovery example

    Local office-based business — 4 users, South West London

    Problem

    The business had no reliable backup in place. Staff were saving files locally on individual laptops and there was no centralised storage or backup process. A device fault made the risk clear.

    Support provided
    • Reviewed current data storage and identified files at risk
    • Set up cloud backup for all user devices, including automated daily backup
    • Migrated critical files to a shared, accessible location
    • Provided a clear summary of what was backed up and how to verify it
    Outcome

    All business data was backed up and recoverable. The business moved away from relying on individual laptop storage to a properly backed-up, shared setup.

    Coworking support example

    Coworking-based startup — 4 users, Farringdon

    Problem

    A small startup team working from a coworking space needed help with Microsoft 365 setup, device onboarding for two new hires, and a persistent connectivity issue affecting one workstation.

    Support provided
    • Set up Microsoft 365 accounts and devices for new team members
    • Diagnosed and resolved the connectivity issue at the specific workstation
    • Configured email, Teams, and shared storage for the full team
    • Provided remote support access so future issues could be resolved without a visit where possible
    Outcome

    New team members were set up and working within a day. The connectivity issue was resolved and the team had a consistent Microsoft 365 setup for the first time.

    Types of problems we help solve

    These are the kinds of support situations we commonly help with.

    Day-to-day business IT issues
    Microsoft 365 user and account issues
    Wi-Fi and network problems
    Device and workstation troubleshooting
    Office setup and change support
    Backup and recovery support

    These problems often appear together, which is why many businesses move from one-off support toward a broader support relationship.
