Company Facts

Frequently Asked Questions

General

What does Volobyte do?

Volobyte is an enterprise IT consultancy and Apple Technical Partner. We design, deploy, and manage IT infrastructure across six pillars: IAM & Access Management, Device Management & Security, SaaS, Licensing & Vendor Control, Workflow Automation & AI, Managed IT Services, and Fractional CIO & IT Strategy.

How quickly can you start?

Most engagements begin within 2 weeks. We send a scoping proposal within 48 hours of our first call and delivery starts the following week.

Is Volobyte an Apple reseller?

No. We are an Apple Technical Partner. We configure, secure, and manage Mac fleets using Kandji, Jamf, and Mosyle. We do not sell hardware.

Do we need to replace our existing tools?

Almost never. We work with what you already use: Okta, Entra ID, Jamf, Intune, Google Workspace, Slack, and 200+ other vendors.

What makes you different from a traditional MSP?

Dedicated engineers (not a rotating desk), we use your existing tools instead of forcing proprietary software, and we focus on reducing tickets through simple, effective solutions.

How much does it cost?

Device management starts from a few hundred pounds per month. IAM projects are typically fixed-fee. Fractional CIO services run on a monthly retainer. We publish transparent pricing and always give a clear quote before work begins.

Should we choose Apple or Windows?

For most companies, Mac is the simpler, more scalable choice. macOS has a built-in security model, fewer driver issues, and a UNIX-based architecture that is inherently more stable for cloud-native workflows. That said, we manage Windows fleets too and never force a platform switch.

IAM & Access Management

How long does a typical IAM rollout take?

Most implementations take 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of applications and complexity.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

With proper lifecycle automation, access is revoked automatically when HR updates their system. No manual chasing, no orphaned accounts.

Will this help us pass security audits?

Yes. We deliver the controls and evidence documentation that auditors look for: access policies, admin registers, JML runbooks, and architecture diagrams.

Does MFA slow people down?

Absolutely not. Okta FastPass is biometric and on-device. You don't even pull your phone out.

Device Management & Security

What is MDM and why do I need it?

Mobile Device Management secures and manages all company devices centrally. Without it, you have no visibility into device security and risk data breaches from lost or compromised devices.

How does zero-touch deployment work?

Devices ship directly to employees pre-configured. When they sign in, policies, apps, and security settings apply automatically. No IT intervention needed.

Should we go Mac or Windows?

Mac. The upfront cost is higher, but total cost of ownership is usually lower. Macs need less support, fewer repairs, last longer, and spend less time fighting malware.

How much does Apple MDM cost per device?

Kandji starts around £4-6/device/month, Jamf Pro is typically £6-10/device/month, and Mosyle is often the most cost-effective at £2-4/device/month.

SaaS, Licensing & Vendor Control

What's the typical cost savings?

We typically recover 20-40% of annual SaaS spend through eliminating waste and negotiating better rates.

How long does a SaaS audit take?

A typical audit takes 2-4 weeks. We deliver a complete inventory, savings opportunities, and a prioritised action plan.

What about shadow IT?

Shadow IT is one of the biggest sources of SaaS waste. We identify it during discovery and help you implement a procurement workflow that captures future purchases without slowing teams down.

Workflow Automation & AI / Managed IT Services

What does 'embedded IT support' mean?

We become part of your team. We attend standups, know your systems, and handle day-to-day IT issues without you needing to explain context every time.

What can you automate with n8n?

Common automations include user onboarding/offboarding, ticket routing, alert escalation, report generation, and integrations between tools that don't natively connect.

How do you reduce IT tickets?

Most IT tickets exist because of poor tool choices, missing automation, or overly complex setups. We source simple tools, automate repetitive requests, and fix root causes.

Fractional CIO & IT Strategy

What exactly is a fractional CIO?

A senior technology leader who works with your company part-time. You get executive-level strategic guidance without the cost of a full-time hire.

Can you help us achieve SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Yes. We build the roadmap and implement technical controls through our other service pillars. We prepare you for audit with gap analysis, control implementation, and evidence collection.

How long does it take to become audit-ready?

For SOC 2 Type I, typically 8-12 weeks from scratch. Type II requires 6-12 months of operating controls. ISO 27001 varies but usually 3-6 months to initial certification.

Can you help with investor due diligence?

Yes. We prepare technology assessments for fundraising, help answer investor questions, and can represent your company's technology capabilities in due diligence processes.
