Why Blaze
Value-Added Benefits from Choosing Blaze as your MSP
By employing the services of Blaze Networks our clients benefit not only from access to product, network, and software solutions from industry-leaders, but also to the substantial value which Blaze adds through our infrastructure, processes, and people.
As an MSP (Managed Services Provider), Blaze Networks provides SME and large organisations with a complete, secure, managed solution, tailored to their specific networking and IT needs.
Blaze can support the complex network infrastructure and IT requirements of businesses of all types, including large multi-site businesses, those with significant cloud-based systems, and companies with large numbers of staff working from home.
We design the right solution for each customer, taking into account detailed infrastructure considerations and design objectives. As a Managed Services Provider we can offer most services either fully managed or co-managed, as you prefer.
How We Work
Blaze understands that the products and services which we supply are mission-critical to our customers’ success. We therefore place great emphasis not just on what we provide, but on how we do so.
Here are a few of the things we know that we need to constantly deliver:

Be Easy to Work With
The Blaze Support Desk has an average call answering time of just 8 seconds. Our team are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year (24x7x365), to deal with customer support requests promptly and efficiently. In addition to contacting us by phone, support requests can be made online at any time.

Continuous Improvement
We take our obligations to deliver excellent service extremely seriously. In order to do this, we continuously invest in our systems and tools, and most importantly – in our people. Our engineers and technical team constantly improve their skills through formal training programs and certifications, both in product areas and broader professional skills.

Meet Customers’ Needs
Delivering good service is the heart of our business. We don’t just sell products, we advise, we consult, we recommend, implement, manage, support, fix, and we update and help with Digital Evolution.
Blaze gets a very positive rating in the surveys we do following each support request: 100% of respondents say they are either “very satisfied” (87%) or “satisfied” (17%) with the way in which they were supported. There were zero ratings lower than this. (Figures are for 2019).
Three Key Differentiators
Of the many value-adds which Blaze delivers to customers around our products and services, three areas underpin much of what differentiates us from alternatives you may be considering.
The Blaze Private Core Network
Blaze has created a unique network across the UK that employs a highly resilient and secure network design, industry-leading partnerships, and our own UK-based NOC (Network Operations Centre) and Support Desk facility.
Designed with resiliency and multiple failover protection, the Blaze Private Core Network has delivered 100% uptime for over 10 years.
Secure, Managed, Agile
Our operating principles revolve around delivering products and services which are secure, properly managed, and which enable our customers to be increasingly agile.
A Hyper-Secure Customer Support Network
We know that, as a Managed Service Provider, our customers are entrusting us with the security of some of their most valuable assets. We therefore have ensured that within our own network we have built a customer support environment which has a military-like level of security – our MZ or Management Zone.
