A good IT support company is integral to the success of your business. An IT consulting company will be able to ensure that your IT services run smoothly with minimum downtime. The type of work an IT support company does can involve everything from fixing bugs and backing up data, to overseeing security and managing IT infrastructure. They’ll be able to supply and install technologies such as high quality telecoms, IT systems, network and DSL services which will maximize the efficiency of your business and eliminate any IT issues before they become massive problems.

Access to the latest and greatest in technology: You may have noticed how quickly software and hardware becomes obsolete in this industry. How is one person able to keep up-to-date with everything? IT outsourcing gives you the benefit of having more than just one IT professional; since it’s the core competency of the company, they can give you sound advice to put your IT dollars to work for you.

Cost savings: Outsourcing your IT services provides financial benefits such as leaner overhead, bulk purchasing and leasing options on things such as hardware, software, and software licenses. IT services can also make sure that your company is compliant with local and federal government regulations.

High quality of staff: Since it’s their core competency, outsourced IT vendors look to hire staff with specific qualifications and certifications to ensure your company is getting quality IT consulting. You may not know what to look for if you’re hiring someone to be on staff full-time, so you may hire the wrong person for the job.

Flexibility: Vendors have multiple resources available to them, while internal staff may have limited resources and capabilities.

Job security and burnout reduction for regular employees: Using an outsourced IT company removes the burden from your staff who has taken on more than he or she was hired for because "someone needs to do it." You will establish a better relationship with your employees when you let them do what they do best and what they were hired to do.

Technology issues happen all the time. In and out of the office, slowing employees down and ultimately costing the business money. Calling the "IT guy" to fix computer issues all the time can be costly after adding trip charges, increased labor rates for an after hours/emergency response, and often a long initial response time which interrupts productivity to a grinding halt. Don’t wait for things to build up or choose between performance and cost. There is a better way, and in most cases, it doesn’t cost more than you’re already paying for break/fix IT support.

Managed IT services is a term for outsourcing daily IT support with services like cybersecurity, data protection, and email security included for users and their devices across your business network. It allows users to initiate IT service tickets automatically with a Microsoft certified IT helpdesk standing by, or if required, receive an experienced IT consultant at their business location with a guaranteed response time. Consolidating your IT services and support helps save money with bundled pricing, improves security by gaining access to enterprise-level technology, and reduces downtime by having the right tools in place to manage and protect your business assets.

Replacing a managed service provider isn’t an overnight task and the process itself can take months.
