IT Support – Without Noise, Always Available
IT just has to work
IT shouldn’t be noise. For Dutch companies it is simple: systems must run, employees must be able to work, and compliance must be in order. Yet reality often proves otherwise. From printers that falter to complicated questions about NIS2, it can quickly cause worry and frustration.

What is “IT without noise” and why essential in the Netherlands?
-
Definition of noiseless IT: systems work, problems are solved immediately, support is personal.
-
Context Netherlands: SMEs struggle with limited IT resources, while compliance (AVG, NIS2, NEN7510) weighs increasingly heavily.

Impact: downtime costs SMEs thousands of dollars per hour on average, and non-compliance leads to fines and reputational damage.

ALTA-ICT perspective: one point of contact, not a menu of options.
