IT annual maintenance contracts (AMC) in Dubai

An IT AMC from Cre8 IT (Create IT) looks after your helpdesk, devices, network, servers, Microsoft 365 and cyber security for a fixed monthly rate, with 24/7 emergency support and engineers based in Dubai.

What is an IT AMC?

One contract for all of your everyday IT

An IT annual maintenance contract (AMC) is an agreement with an IT company to look after your systems for a fixed fee, instead of paying for each call-out. Our flexible AMCs come with 24/7 emergency support at a fixed monthly rate tailored to your requirements, frequency and budget.

Our engineers take proactive responsibility for your network, hardware and software, connected devices, virus removal, backups and recovery, and contingency planning. If something does go wrong, a qualified technician resolves it in person or remotely through our helpdesk phone line and ticketing system.

What an AMC can cover

What is included

What a Cre8 IT AMC covers

Every AMC is tailored to your firm. These are the areas our contracts usually cover.

Helpdesk and service desk

Reach us by phone or through our ticketing system. Every request and incident is logged, tracked and reported through our ITSM service desk.

Proactive maintenance

We watch and maintain your systems and apply updates, so problems are fixed before they slow your team down.

Devices, network and servers

Laptops, desktops, network, servers and connected devices, kept updated and working as one set-up.

Microsoft 365

User accounts, Teams, SharePoint and licences, managed by a certified Microsoft Partner.

Managed cyber security

EDR and antivirus, endpoint security posture management, identity threat detection and response, a SIEM and security awareness training for your staff.

Backup and recovery

Scheduled and monitored backups, on premise or in the cloud, and a plan to get back to work if something goes wrong.

Security we can include

Managed cyber security

Security included, not bolted on

Many of the IT problems firms face today start as security problems: a phishing email, a stolen password or an unpatched laptop. Our AMCs can include a full managed security stack, run by the same team that runs your IT.

For firms regulated in the DIFC and ADGM, the same service produces the records a regulator or auditor asks for. See how we support DIFC firms and ADGM firms.

How it works

From first review to day-to-day support

1. Review

We review your current IT, devices and security, and agree what your AMC should cover.

2. Set up

We document your set-up, fix anything urgent and put our monitoring and security tools in place.

3. Support

A remote helpdesk for everyday issues, with scheduled on-site visits or a dedicated on-site engineer if you need one.

4. Review again

Regular reviews of tickets, risks and upcoming changes, so your IT keeps up as your firm grows.
