Our motto: Change

Provested Integrated Network Engineering

PINE is the networking and managed services arm of Provested, an IT company that works with the Department of Education providing IT support across primary and high schools. That environment shapes how we work: high volumes, real deadlines, and users who need things fixed properly the first time.

Our motto is Change — improving environments, not just closing tickets. Our team's strength is Level 1, 2 and 3 support plus networking, and when something needs deeper specialist input we escalate to senior engineers inside Provested rather than leaving you waiting.

Pick a problem. See exactly how we'd handle it.

No sales language — the likely cause, what we do about it, and how we stop it coming back.

Critical — response within 1 business hour

Our email has stopped sending or landing in junk

Likely cause
Usually a DNS/authentication gap (SPF, DKIM or DMARC), a mailbox sending limit, or a compromised account being throttled by Microsoft.
What we do
We check mail flow and message trace, confirm the account isn't compromised, correct the DNS records, and release the sending restriction.
How we stop it happening again
Correct SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, MFA on every mailbox, and alerting on unusual sending behaviour.

FAQ

Common questions from businesses considering managed IT.

We don't have an internal IT person — can you be our full IT team?

Yes. PINE is designed for businesses without internal IT. We cover day-to-day support, cloud, devices, networks, security, and long-term planning under one relationship.

How quickly will you respond when something breaks?

All tickets are acknowledged within 15 minutes during business hours. Critical incidents get a response within one business hour, and standard issues within four business hours.

Do you charge per hour or a fixed monthly fee?

Managed clients pay a predictable monthly fee based on users, devices, and package. Project work and one-off engagements are quoted upfront so there are no surprises.

Can you work with our existing systems, or do we need to replace everything?

We work with what you have. Our onboarding stabilises and documents the current environment first, then we recommend improvements over time — no forced rip-and-replace.

What happens if we need specialist help you don't provide in-house?

We're upfront about our scope. When specialist work is required (e.g. certain compliance audits or vendor-specific work), we coordinate with trusted partners and stay accountable for the outcome.

Do you provide onsite support or only remote?

Both, and it's your choice. We support clients fully remotely, on a hybrid model with scheduled onsite days, or with a full-time engineer based in your office. Onsite is standard for network installs, hardware, and anything that needs someone in the room.
