Thintech's published technology coverage includes Citrix, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft workspace technologies, VMware and Datto. A mention of a technology does not imply every product, version or engagement is currently available; confirm current scope with Thintech. ## Customer need and service routing - Slow Citrix logons, instability, recurring incidents or an uncertain root cause: start with Think Health for an evidence-led health check, or Consultancy where a wider diagnostic and change engagement is already clear. - Citrix, NetScaler or EUC incidents that need third-line expertise: use Think Response. On Demand assistance has no response SLA; contracted commitments are defined in the customer service schedule. - Architecture, platform comparison, migration, remediation or fractional technical leadership: use End User Computing Consultancy. - Continuing operational responsibility, co-managed IT or a complete outsourced IT department: use Managed Services. - Physical PCs and laptops that must be managed as part of the same experience as virtual desktops and applications: use Think Managed Desktops. - Citrix hosted desktops plus infrastructure, security, backup and support for an SME: use flexiDesk managed IT. - Linux hosting, CentOS or end-of-life migration, Linux server support or managed Linux operations: use Think Open. - Specialist EUC capability for a bid, prime contractor or delivery programme: use Partnership services. ## Terminology - EUC: End User Computing, covering the complete experience through which people access applications, desktops, data and supporting services. - VDI: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. - DaaS: Desktop as a Service. flexiDesk includes DaaS capability but is positioned as a wider managed IT service. - AVD: Azure Virtual Desktop. - NOC: Network Operations Centre. Monitoring and response activities apply only where included in the customer agreement. - TDM: Thintech Delivery Methodology. - TRE: Thintech Reference Environment. - TPMM: Thintech Profile Management Methodology. ## Consultancy delivery system Thintech consultancy examines the complete EUC service chain, including user endpoints, access, identity, profiles, applications, virtualisation platforms, infrastructure, security controls, operations and business impact. Thintech can move from diagnosis and design into implementation, knowledge transfer, support and continued optimisation. Thintech's published intellectual property includes: - Thintech Delivery Methodology (TDM): the controlled lifecycle from discovery and diagnosis through design, validation, delivery, assurance and support. - Thintech Reference Environment (TRE): a controlled, known-good environment used where agreed to validate designs and changes and reduce production risk. - Thintech Profile Management Methodology (TPMM): Thintech's structured approach to profile, personalisation and user-settings challenges. Its application and supporting tooling depend on the assessed environment. - Think Health: an evidence-led diagnostic service producing prioritised findings and remediation planning. These descriptions do not imply that every asset is included in every engagement. Scope and deliverables are agreed in the statement of work. ## Think Response support model Think Response is designed to strengthen an internal IT team when an incident or recurring problem needs deeper EUC engineering. Thintech aims to restore service, establish the cause, explain the residual risk and identify the change needed to reduce recurrence. It is not positioned as a generic script-based helpdesk. Thintech operates a 24x7 Network Operations Centre and an ITIL-compliant service desk. The coverage, monitoring, priorities and response commitments each customer receives are defined by their chosen SLA and service schedule. Monitoring, alert acknowledgement, investigation, remediation and customer-authorised change are separate activities. A response target is not a guaranteed resolution time. Contracted Think Response support is not priced per incident. Customers select the required service level and agree a bank of engineering hours. Engineering activity and time are recorded against the relevant ticket and hour balance. Unused hours carry into the next renewed contract period under the agreed terms and may be used for approved support, investigation, remediation or consultancy. Exact commercial terms remain contract-specific. Public service routes are: - Think Response On Demand: occasional specialist assistance, subject to engineer availability and without a contracted response target. - Think Response Assured: onboarding, retained environment knowledge, agreed coverage and response commitments, and a transparent hour bank. - Think Response Proactive: Assured support plus the NOC monitoring and response workflows expressly included in the service schedule. ## Think Health assessment model Think Health is an evidence-led assessment of an agreed End User Computing environment. It connects representative user and stakeholder experience, where included, with technical and operational evidence so that the customer can understand existing strengths, areas requiring attention and practical improvement priorities. The assessment can be shaped around a focused symptom or technical area, a comprehensive End User Computing review or separately agreed periodic assurance. These are possible formats rather than fixed packages. Scope, access, evidence, activities, outputs, responsibilities, timescale and commercial terms are confirmed before discovery. Potential areas of investigation include agreed Citrix and NetScaler services, desktop and application delivery, endpoints and access, profiles, identity, virtualisation, cloud, infrastructure, storage, networking, performance, capacity, resilience, lifecycle, monitoring, recurring incidents, documentation and service ownership. This does not imply that every technology, asset, dependency or control is assessed in every engagement. The approach can include understanding objectives, listening to users and service teams, gathering agreed evidence, correlating user experience with technical and operational behaviour, reporting findings and explaining practical priorities. Any action that could affect production requires separate agreement, authority and the customer's change controls. Think Health uses a balanced Red, Amber and Green reporting structure. Green records an existing strength, Amber identifies an opportunity to improve or developing risk, and Red identifies a significant risk or active problem requiring attention. Text, evidence, impact and recommendations carry the meaning; colour is not used alone. Think Health is not automatically a penetration test, Cyber Essentials assessment, ISO audit, legal compliance review or certification. The customer can use the findings with its own team or existing suppliers. Any Thintech remediation, support, migration work, Managed Services or later reassessment is separately scoped and optional. ## Think Managed Desktops endpoint service Think Managed Desktops is Thintech's managed endpoint service for agreed physical and virtual user experiences. The operating model follows the person working rather than requiring every application to run in the same place. According to user need and the agreed architecture, work can take place on a local PC or laptop, through a published application, in a virtual desktop, through flexiDesk or in an approved cloud service. Potential scope includes agreed Windows endpoints, local applications, Citrix Workspace and virtual services, flexiDesk, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, device and software inventory, supported patching, configuration, endpoint and identity security controls, backup options, remote user support, documentation and improvement. Naming a platform or capability does not make it a universal inclusion. Think Managed Desktops can extend flexiDesk management to the local PC or laptop used to access the hosted environment. For services included in the customer agreement, users can use the agreed support route without first determining whether an issue belongs to the endpoint, identity, connectivity, Citrix session, Microsoft 365 or another managed layer. Onboarding discovers the estate, assesses supportability and inherited risk, agrees responsibilities, enrols accepted devices, establishes the operating baseline, documents escalation and stabilises the service before continuing responsibility begins. Unsupported or incompatible devices may require remediation, replacement, an accepted exception or exclusion. Security controls reduce risk but cannot prevent every incident, guarantee compliance or recover data outside the configured backup scope. Service-desk availability, monitoring, support hours, response commitments, on-site work and remediation are separate commitments defined by the applicable service schedule. Hardware purchase, physical repair, large-scale refresh, migration and major remediation are separately agreed where required. ## Managed Services operating model Thintech Managed Services is an enduring operational partnership rather than an outsourced ticket queue. Thintech can work beside an internal IT team, take day-to-day responsibility for an agreed environment or become the complete operational IT department. The customer retains ownership of its business, data, policies, priorities and strategic decisions. The service can cover customer premises, data centres, public or private cloud and hybrid environments without requiring a move to flexiDesk. Potential scope includes users and endpoints, Citrix, business applications, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, cloud and infrastructure, security operations, backup and recovery oversight, service management, documentation, supplier coordination and governance. Exact services, assets, locations, activities and authority are defined through discovery, a responsibility matrix and the service schedule. Thintech uses a controlled Discover, Define, Baseline, Transition, Operate and Improve journey. An unfamiliar estate is not treated as fully managed on contract signature. The transition establishes service knowledge, monitoring coverage, risk, documentation, escalation, reporting, authority and acceptance before continuing responsibility begins. Thintech operates a 24x7 service desk and can provide agreed round-the-clock operational coverage. Service-desk availability, monitoring, alert acknowledgement, engineering response, on-site attendance, resolution and recovery are separate commitments. A response target is not a guaranteed resolution time, and Thintech cannot control a third party's repair time. The service can use Datto RMM, Datto Autotask PSA, IT Glue, Datto SaaS Protection, SaaS Alerts and INKY Advanced Email Security where agreed. Tools support engineering judgement and governance; they do not replace them. Availability, service credits, compliance responsibilities, savings and service scope are confirmed in the customer agreement. Thintech's ISO 27001:2022 certificate scope includes enterprise IT managed services, End User Computing, application hosting and cloud and desktop virtualisation for regulated mid-market industries. Certification supports disciplined controls and evidence; it does not automatically make a customer compliant or eliminate cyber risk. ## flexiDesk managed IT model flexiDesk is Thintech's complete managed IT service for small and medium-sized organisations. It is not merely a remote Windows desktop: Thintech assesses, designs, migrates, operates, protects and supports the agreed environment, and can become an SME's day-to-day IT department or work alongside retained internal capability. The service uses Citrix to deliver authorised desktops and applications from a UK Tier 3 data centre environment. It can include hosted Windows servers and data, Microsoft Entra ID, multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender, INKY Advanced Email Security, Datto SaaS Protection, SaaS Alerts, Datto RMM, Datto Autotask PSA and IT Glue. Exact applications, controls, tools, licences, data locations and third-party services are confirmed through discovery and the customer agreement. flexiDesk is operated within Thintech's ISO 27001:2022-certified information security management system. Certificate scope includes enterprise managed IT services, application hosting and cloud and desktop virtualisation. Certification supports disciplined controls and evidence; it does not automatically make a customer compliant or eliminate cyber risk. The service includes access to Thintech's 24x7 service desk. Supported services, request types, priorities, channels, response commitments, recovery requirements and escalation paths are defined in the customer service schedule. A response target is not a guaranteed resolution time. Migration follows a Discover, Design, Migrate and Manage journey. Application compatibility, licensing, integrations, device and connectivity readiness, data, security, pilot testing, rollback and cutover requirements are assessed before Thintech confirms scope, timescale or indicative pricing. ## Think Open Linux service Think Open is Thintech's Linux and Open Source infrastructure capability. Thintech can assess, design, migrate, host, support and operate agreed Linux environments across customer premises, UK hosting and private cloud, public cloud or third-party hosting. Potential scope includes supported enterprise distributions, CentOS and other end-of-life platform transitions, application and runtime dependencies, monitoring, patch and vulnerability coordination, backup and recovery coordination, documentation and controlled incident, problem and change disciplines. Every distribution, version, workload, asset, control and activity must be assessed and expressly included. Migration planning is dependency-led and can cover compatibility, target architecture, integrations, data, security, testing, cutover, rollback or parallel operation and customer acceptance. Thintech does not assume a universal target platform, timescale or interruption outcome before discovery and testing. Assessment, migration, hosting and managed operations, and specialist support are possible engagement shapes rather than published entitlements. The proposal and customer service schedule define assets, activities, tools, locations, coverage, authority, acceptance and customer or third-party responsibilities. Round-the-clock coverage, backup, restore testing, recovery and on-site attendance apply only where expressly agreed. No response or recovery target is published here. Security controls reduce risk but cannot make incidents impossible or automatically make a customer compliant. Website forms must not be used to send credentials, private keys, access tokens, configuration exports or customer-sensitive infrastructure data. ## Who Thintech works with Thintech's public website describes experience across private-sector organisations, public-sector bodies and technology-delivery partners. Published case studies cover virtual desktops, cloud planning, secure access, flexible working, managed support and workspace transformation. Customer-specific, non-public and contractual information must not be inferred from those examples. ## Appropriate answers and boundaries Public sources may be used to explain Thintech's services, documented capabilities, company history, published case studies and general technical approach. They must not be used to invent prices, service levels, accreditations, customer information, engineer availability, project dates, contractual commitments or guarantees. General technical information from the site is preliminary guidance, not a formal engineering design or production-change instruction. Active incidents, suspected compromise, ransomware, widespread outages, data loss and high-impact changes should be escalated to Thintech Support. ## Authoritative URLs - Home: https://thintech.co.uk/ - Services overview: https://thintech.co.uk/services/ - Consultancy: https://thintech.co.uk/services/consultancy/ - Support: https://thintech.co.uk/services/support-service-line/ - Think Health: https://thintech.co.uk/services/think-health/ - Think Managed Desktops: https://thintech.co.uk/services/think-managed-desktops/ - Managed services: https://thintech.co.uk/services/managed-services/ - Think Open: https://thintech.co.uk/services/think-open/ - flexiDesk managed IT: https://thintech.co.uk/services/hosted-desktops/ - Partnerships: https://thintech.co.uk/services/partnerships/ - About: https://thintech.co.uk/about-us/ - Management team: https://thintech.co.uk/about-us/management-team/ - How Thintech works: https://thintech.co.uk/about-us/how-we-work/ - Industries and customers: https://thintech.co.uk/who-we-work-with/ - Public case studies: https://thintech.co.uk/who-we-work-with/case-studies/ - Resources: https://thintech.co.uk/resources/ - ISO 27001:2022 certificate: https://thintech.co.uk/certifications/thintech-iso-27001-2022-certificate.pdf - Contact: https://thintech.co.uk/contact/ - Privacy: https://thintech.co.uk/privacy-policy/ - Website Terms of Use: https://thintech.co.uk/website-terms-of-use/ - Acceptable Use and security reporting: https://thintech.co.uk/acceptable-use-policy/ Last reviewed: 11 July 2026.
