The business case: downtime hurts
For SMEs, an hour of unplanned IT downtime can cost up to USD 150,000. With SMEs making up 95 % of all Dubai companies, the aggregate economic impact is enormous.
Core elements every Dubai business should demand
- 24/7 bilingual help desk (English/Arabic).
- Proactive monitoring & patching – prevents incidents rather than merely reacting.
- Service‑level guarantees – response within 15 minutes for critical tickets.
- Cyber‑first AMC – includes vulnerability scans and backup verification, not just hardware swaps.
- Clear reporting – monthly health‑check, risk score, and spend forecast.
How an IT AMC differs from ad‑hoc “break/fix”
- Pay per incident → Predictable OPEX
- No preventive work → Scheduled maintenance & patching
- Hidden downtime costs → SLA‑backed uptime guarantees
Evaluating providers in 5 questions
- Do they operate a local SOC?
- How deep is vendor certification (Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, Acronis)?
- Can they scale from 10 to 500 seats without painful contract renegotiation?
- Do they map controls to PDPL and industry frameworks?
- Are quarterly technology‑road‑map sessions included?
The Technopeak advantage
- Integrated AMC + MSSP – one contract covers endpoint, network, cloud, and compliance.
- Guaranteed response times – 15 min critical, 60 min high, 4 h on‑site.
- Strategic guidance – roadmap workshops align IT spend with growth goals.
- Transparent pricing – flat fee per user for clear budgeting.
ROI snapshot
A 40‑seat Dubai consultancy moving from break/fix to Technopeak’s AMC reduced downtime by 63 % and saved an estimated USD 210k in lost productivity in the first year—well above contract cost.
Closing the loop
Your competitors are already locking in predictable IT costs and higher uptime. Why settle for reactive support?
