If your business lives in Gmail, Calendar, Drive and Docs all day, your cloud tools are not just IT. They’re how sales happen, how projects move, how customers get looked after.
At Octopus Computers, we help local organisations with business IT solutions pick the right Peterborough Google Workspace Plans, then actually use them properly, so you’re not just paying for a logo on a monthly invoice.
When it comes to technology, it is certain that the professionals around you can enhance your experiences and models after just a phone call.
With our help, you can be more efficient with your business tasks and ensure that everything runs smoothly in Peterborough.
Most Peterborough businesses fall into one of three groups:
Started on free Gmail and grew messy
Rushed into Google Workspace without proper setup
Pay for higher plans “just in case” and don’t use all features
Common problems include wasted time hunting files, inconsistent security for remote staff, unclear licence use, and missing simple automations.
Our reviews usually deliver:
10–20% fewer “where’s that file?” questions
Fewer accidental data leaks
Clear guidance on which plan fits each team
Happier teams with simpler, joined-up tools
With the right setup, Google Workspace becomes a genuine advantage rather than just a monthly cost.
Changing tools isn’t just technical – your team needs to know how to use them effectively.
We run practical workshops using your real processes:
Sales: sharing proposals and updates
Operations: tracking jobs, photos, and site notes
Managers: reviewing performance and giving feedback
We show staff how to:
Co-edit documents live
Use comments and suggestions instead of long email threads
Share files safely with clients and partners
Use Shared Drives and labels so nothing disappears when someone leaves
Workshops are tailored to each team:
Finance: spreadsheet accuracy, version history, access control
HR: secure storage, onboarding/offboarding, e-sign flows
Field staff: fast mobile access
By showing the practical benefits for each team, adoption is smoother and faster.
Our helpdesk isn’t a faceless call centre. It’s a team of friendly, qualified engineers who take every issue personally. Whether it’s a password reset or a critical system failure, you’ll always get a real human who listens, acts quickly, and follows up to make sure you’re satisfied.
We’re available when you need us, by phone, email, or remote access, and our average response times are among the fastest in the industry.
We don’t wait for things to go wrong. Our proactive monitoring tools keep an eye on your systems 24/7, identifying potential issues before they cause downtime. It’s IT support that prevents problems, not just reacts to them.
From server performance and security patches to software updates and network stability, we make sure everything runs as it should, quietly and efficiently in the background.
Some problems need a physical touch. That’s why our engineers are always ready to visit your office for hands-on support when it’s needed.
For everything else, our remote access tools mean we can jump onto your system and resolve issues instantly, no waiting around for someone to arrive.
Technology isn’t just about keeping the lights on, it’s about helping your business grow.
We offer IT consultancy that aligns your systems with your goals, ensuring every investment supports your success. Whether you’re migrating to the cloud, upgrading hardware, or planning your digital transformation, we guide you every step of the way.
Modern IT support goes hand-in-hand with strong cyber security. Octopus Computers integrates robust protection into everything we do, from endpoint monitoring and firewalls to backup and disaster recovery solutions.
Your data is your most valuable asset. We make sure it’s secure, compliant, and recoverable, always.
Cyber threats don’t just target large corporations, 32% of UK businesses faced an attack last year, according to the Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey. For small businesses, recovery costs averaged £1,200 per incident, not counting the hidden reputational damage.
At Octopus Computers, we don’t take shortcuts when it comes to security. We take it personally.
Our layered cybersecurity approach includes:
This combination of technology and human education ensures your business isn’t just ticking a compliance box, it’s genuinely protected.
Things will still go wrong now and then. Someone shares a folder too widely. A user looses access to a key document. A new feature appears and confuses half the office.
Octopus Computers provides:
For many clients, we effectively become the “Google admin team” they don’t have in-house.
Book a call: We’ll discuss about your setup, vulnerabilities, and goals.
Assessment & plan: We’ll audit your systems and provide a clear, fixed-cost roadmap.
Implementation: We optimise, secure, or rebuild your IT for reliability and performance.
Ongoing support: We monitor and maintain everything behind the scenes, so issues never catch you off guard.
A few reasons Peterborough organisations trust us with their cloud setup:
We’re also happy to start small: a simple audit, a pilot migration, a single department. Enough to prove value without asking you to rewire everything on day one.
We speak your language and care about your success.
We stop problems before they start.
From cloud solutions to cyber security, everything under one roof.
We’re here for the long haul, not a quick fix.
If you’d like to:
