Common questions
What types of organisations does Uplift work with?
We work across SMEs, government agencies, NGOs, enterprises, healthcare providers, and educational institutions. Our service model is flexible enough to support both startups and large organisations.
Do you offer fixed-price or retainer-based engagements?
Both. Managed IT services are typically structured as monthly retainers with clear SLAs. Project-based work (cloud migrations, software builds, security audits) is scoped and priced per engagement.
What cloud platforms do you support?
We are platform-agnostic and have deep expertise across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. We will recommend the best fit for your workload, compliance requirements, and budget.
How quickly can you respond to a support request?
Response times depend on the support tier in your SLA. Standard helpdesk tickets are addressed within 4 business hours. Critical incidents are escalated immediately with a response target of under 1 hour.
Can Uplift work with our existing IT team?
Absolutely. Many clients retain Uplift as an extension of their in-house team — filling skills gaps, handling overflow, or managing specific platforms while internal staff focus on other priorities.
Do you have experience with data protection and compliance?
Yes. We have delivered projects under ISO 27001, HIPAA-awareness requirements, and Zambia's Data Protection Act frameworks. Compliance is factored into every engagement from day one.
