Lighting works so simply: you press it and the light comes on. If only IT were that simple! But what if we told you that IT is actually that simple? Sounds too good to be true. Here are the similarities between lighting and IT.
You work step by step
You are going to move. The electricity and lighting plan are important parts of this (re)construction. Early on, you need to mark on a floor plan where you want what to have. Once that is finalized, you start looking for a nice design. If everything goes well, the result is often beautiful.
All well and good, but how does that relate to IT? IT also works incrementally and is complex, but not difficult. It is often explained as something intangible. An IT company's sales team often doesn't know enough about the practice. Insight, capacity and extensions are important in planning. The lighting plan is executed by technicians and engineers; an IT plan is executed by companies such as Lime Networks.
You have different levels in quality
A cheap outlet is not of the same quality as a designer model. What is the best value for money? The configuration in finish with color or shape may be possible, but mostly not leading in quality. The quality is in the back of the wall. It is important that as a customer you get a standard product, but you can also configure (choose) for your specific business situation.
In IT, it's actually the same way. Servers and cloud services must be of good quality and securely set up. After all, you don't want to get a shock from your new light switch, so in the same way, IT services must also be secure! Expansion must be trouble-free and quality of personnel and equipment guarantee years of standard product(efficiency) which is configured for the customer-specific situation or desire.
It just has to be simple!
Lighting just has to work, meet your requirements and be within your budget. It must be of sufficient quality and simple to use. So should an IT service, and it can be. All you need is a reliable IT company, because you can't stand still. You need lighting because you can't see anything in your office. You need good IT, because otherwise you can't see anything inside your company. Find a party that brings you solutions and acts from experience. A party that won't leave you in the dark if something goes wrong. Making IT simple as an electrical outlet is an art, but we can do it. Experience it for yourself and give us a call: 010-2121806.

There are so many choices when it comes to buying products that you may need some help. Our knowledge of products and experience with other customers means that you can always come to us for the best solution for the business market. We cannot test everything, but we do have a good solution to help you. If you purchase products such as a laptop from us, we will also handle the warranty and support within your maintenance contract.
It certainly is. That's why we believe in working together. An IT manager in your company can quickly provide knowledge. Through monthly contracts, we are always focused on the long term. Because we constantly invest in ready-made solutions for SMEs, we let you lead the way in IT. By using standards, you get more certainty.
Contracts provide clear agreements and service when you need it. Predictability in your costs without surprises. We go that extra mile, because it offers certainty for everyone. Whether you save money in the long term? We do not think so. But you do get the service and expertise when you need us. And if things go wrong, you are not left with high costs or doubts about whether or not you should hire someone. We believe in relationships, not contracts. With us, all contracts can be terminated per month - unless a supplier imposes otherwise, such as for a fibre-optic connection. This way, you can benefit from the advantages without being tied down to anything and the costs are predictable.
IT is often complicated. We don't think it needs to be. By making IT simple and secure, you strengthen your competitive position. The well thought-out solutions, the simplification, security and clear support when you need it, cost a lot of time. In preparation, training, documentation, education and especially experience. That is difficult - in fact, impossible - to do yourself. So it's good that everyone has some knowledge and remains critical, but cooperation and a lot of experience and knowledge is key to good IT.
Yes, you can. Outside office hours you can reach us on exactly the same phone number as during the day. With premium contracts, you will be helped without having to pay extra. We always do regular work during office hours, but if you really need us, we are there for you with a tight SLA so that you can continue as soon as possible. If you do not have a premium contract, we will help you on the basis of best effort at an adjusted rate. You do not have to do anything for this.
By greatly simplifying IT and concentrating on the solutions we offer, we help customers with their problems. By focusing on taking care of the customer and not the solution, standard solutions are configured for the customer. By working according to standards, agreements and concentrating on communication, we ensure customer understanding and a pleasant experience. IT is often complex and at Lime Networks we make it simple for you.
We periodically discuss with the IT manager where we are going and where we are now. Not only whether we are doing well but also whether the customer is doing well and using IT in such a way that it adds as much value as possible. If there is also local IT support, we divide the tasks. We let the customer look into systems, documentation and give them insight into the network or servers/cloud, for example. Often we arrange the basics, add knowledge and help to make faster steps with extra hands and experience, for example in projects.
We are Microsoft Gold Partner in three areas, for which the employees of Lime Networks have successfully completed many training courses and for which current customer cases have been approved by Microsoft. In addition, there are many certifications in the areas of security, voice, networking and the like. We work according to the guidelines and standards of our suppliers. Our ISO 27001 certificate without comments also ensures the correct working method and attitude.
Good employees leave a positive impression on you when they have helped you. We put a lot of time into this. Our employees all work according to our guidelines, procedures and manuals. More important are our core values (customer care, passion for technology, clear language) which we actively promote. During 'lunch & learn sessions' with the team, we pay a lot of attention to security internally and for the customer and keep our knowledge up to date. Each year, we follow relevant training courses in order to remain at the forefront of knowledge. We receive a score of 8.4 from customers for projects and migrations and have a 100% score for successful implementation. We naturally aim for a 10, so we are constantly improving.
Our helpdesk acts as a full-service helpdesk where anyone can directly help you with questions and problems. You can always call us with all your IT questions and problems. Our passionate and well-trained team will assist you in a friendly manner with your IT, documentation and specific arrangements. Whether you have a problem, need advice or have a question, we work together as one team. 20 IT people for the price of 1 that you can call as often as you like; better that you call us more often about the same subject than that you are stuck with the question! We are also available outside office hours for important malfunctions. An engineer will help you within 15 minutes. Finally, our helpdesk is available in Dutch or English.
We will set up IT so that you can get on with it and be one step ahead of the competition. Whether it's telephony or Wi-Fi, our helpdesk is ready to solve any IT problem. With a highly skilled and passionate team, no IT problem is too big and we ensure efficiency and security.
We go for performance, continuity and security. The first step is an inventory, in which we look at how IT is currently used, how it can be used better and what our role is in this. What is the request for help and what value can we add? If we are on the same wavelength, we will propose a plan of action, so you will not be faced with any surprises. This way, you know exactly what we are going to do, how, what effects this will have, who is going to do what, when and how much it will cost. Adoption is also part of this. Then we implement it. Think of security, installation and migration. The exact course of this differs per company. The helpdesk is always there for you and helps you immediately. Transparency, trust and problem-solving are paramount throughout the process.
