Where it began
Experience showed us what good support looks like, and where the industry too often falls short.
We've spent more than 25 years working in IT services, around complex technology, demanding environments and organisations at different stages of growth. That experience taught us the value of strong standards and capable people. It also showed us how easily smaller organisations can be overlooked, overcomplicated or offered something designed for a very different business.
baseMSP was built to change that experience. We wanted owners and managers to have direct access to people who listen, explain things properly and take responsibility for seeing the work through.
The idea behind the business
baseMSP didn't begin with a list of products. It began with a view on how clients should be treated.
Important decisions were made harder than they needed to be. Business owners were given technical detail without useful context, smaller clients could receive less attention and recommendations were not always explained in terms of risk, value or priority.
A business that combines experience and consistent standards with a personal relationship. One that makes your position clear, offers proportionate options and allows you to decide what's right for your business.
Specialist by design
Every client relationship we take on is built around Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 is the environment we know, support and secure. That focus allows us to build real depth, maintain consistent standards and make experienced support more accessible to smaller businesses. You gain clear, proportionate support without needing the time or specialist resources to assess every option yourself, at a level that is affordable and appropriate for your business.
We concentrate on the Microsoft 365 services your people use every day and the controls that help keep them managed and protected.
Many IT providers try to specialise across a wide range of services. We'd rather be clear about where our expertise lies and continue developing it.
When your business needs expertise outside our focus, we work with like-minded partner businesses that specialise in that field. This gives you the right expertise without baseMSP pretending to be everything to everyone.
The principles we work by
The way we work matters as much as the work itself.
These are practical commitments that shape how we communicate, recommend and follow through.
-
01
Be clear
Explain what matters in plain English, including the reason, the options and the likely cost.
-
02
Be proportionate
Recommend what fits the business and the risk, not everything that could possibly be sold.
-
03
Be open
Make pricing, responsibilities and next steps visible so there are no avoidable surprises.
-
04
Follow through
Take ownership, keep people informed and make sure agreed actions don't quietly disappear.
