Were not just here for when you've forgotten your password.
(Though we’re are also here for that too…)
This week we’ve been installing a Logitech video conferencing setup for a new client.

The brief? No more huddling around a laptop like its a campfire. Just simple to use, with a wide angle lens and facial recognition which automatically frames the room depending on how many people are present

All spec’d, installed and tested by our experienced team.

Got a meeting room that's become a running joke? Give us a call

We recently onboarded a new client who came to us from a large, well-known MSP. They arrived with a Microsoft Secure Score of 76 out of 267 (meaning 28% of the maximum protection available was in place).

The Secure Score is Microsoft's own measure of how well a tenant is configured. It counts the things that stop an attack: multi-factor authentication, legacy authentication switched off, admin roles separated properly, as well as the security features the clients licence already includes but nobody has turned on.....

In comparison, one of our existing clients who we've been working with for a while sits at 247 out of 267 (93%). The gap between those two numbers isn't budget or Premium subscriptions, It is attention.....

It is someone checking the settings, understanding what is switched on, and working through the recommendations in order of what actually matters.

Want to know your own security score? We're offering a free Microsoft 365 security healthcheck. No obligation, no hard sell, just a clear read on where your tenant stands, what the quick wins are, and where the real gaps sit.

Lots of businesses use Microsoft 365 every day, you may already have multi-factor authentication enabled. That's a good start, but there's more to securing your setup.

Microsoft 365 has additional security settings and tools that could help protect your business and improve your Microsoft Secure Score.

Our free Security Healthcheck helps you understand where you stand, how you compare against other similar organisations and what to tackle next, with clear, practical recommendations.

More schools across Cumbria are introducing phone-free classrooms:
But a ban is only as good as the system behind it. "Leave it in your bag" doesn't work. Students need a secure, visible place to put their devices, and teachers need to know exactly whose phone is where.

🟢40 individually numbered slots — one per student, no mix-ups
🟢Traditional key lock access — no batteries, no apps, no downtime
🟢Wall-mountable steel cabinet built for daily classroom use
🟢Clear viewing panel so staff can see the unit at a glance

If your school is rolling out a phone policy then get in touch

We recently completed a fully managed upgrade for Unwin Jones Partnership, moving them from a legacy PBX phone system that was using ISDN lines to a modern VoIP cloud phone system across their Carlisle and Glasgow offices.

The new solution was designed around flexible working, with a combination of desk phones and Webex mobile apps so users can stay connected whether they are in the office or on site with clients. We also managed the supporting network changes, including voice VLAN configuration and firewall rules, to ensure the system delivers the reliability and performance needed for day-to-day business use.

Another successful installation completed.
We recently upgraded a rural client from BT , where they were limited to just 40Mbps download and 10Mbps upload.

They’re now achieving speeds of around 210Mbps down and 20Mbps up.

With WiFi 7 installed throughout the building, they now have strong, reliable connectivity across the entire site.

A full fibre upgrade - and a proper tidy-up too.
We recently migrated a client from SoGEA to full fibre. The old setup had been left in a mess by the previous IT provider, with the router and equipment left on the floor and cables like spaghetti.

We could have done the easy thing, replaced the router with our new one and left it as it was.....

But that's not how we do things. Instead, we took the time to wall-mount the equipment, tidy the cabling, and leave the installation clean, neat, and professional.

At Bytewise IT, we believe customer service means doing the job properly - not just doing the minimum.

Before and after photos say it all.
