Many CEOs, CFOs and CIOs of small businesses may pause for a moment on this question:
Do we need business IT support?
The answer is simple – you do. But why do you need to manage IT? Here is a handful of some compelling ideas in favour of outsourcing your IT.
IT Solution
You are good at what you do. However, unless you are running your own tech company, it’s unlikely that you or your employees have the know-how to implement the best IT solution for your business. By outsourcing your IT to a managed service provider (MSP), you will benefit from the years of experience the MSP has acquired. They’ll find and execute the best IT solution for your company. A solution that is cost-effective had highly functional.
IT Security
Now more than ever, IT security should be at the forefront of your business operational strategy. Your sensitive company data – along with that of your clients – must be secure. The MSP will ensure that you are GDPR compliant and that your data is protected by the latest antivirus and anti-malware technology available.
IT Savings
When you outsource IT, you won’t need to splurge on expensive software and applications. The MSP will work with third-party providers to provide cloud solutions for your enterprise. You will also have a fixed SLA with a pay-as-you-go tariff. Who could ask for anything more?
IT Disaster
‘My computer will never crash!’ Famous last words. Disaster can and does come out of nowhere so it’s best to be prepared. Your MSP will develop a sound IT disaster recovery plan. You will always have automated backups and should disaster strike, your network will be back up and running with minimal downtime.
IT support is about fixing things when they break. Good business IT practice means being proactive, protecting your data and your customers. Being proactive means outsourcing your IT to a reliable MSP.
