How does your business manage its IT? Do you have an in-house team, and how busy are they with all of the hustle and bustle of their everyday duties? Do they have time to address the many challenges and requests made of them? If not, then perhaps you should consider a different model for your IT management. Luckily, we have just the opportunity for you, and you won’t want to miss out on it.
Managed IT services from SMART Services can be a great investment for any small business looking to get ahead of the competition. Here are four reasons why you should consider managed IT for your company.
Look, we won’t beat around the bush here; if you implement managed IT services through us, you will save money, period. It costs a lot to hire internal IT workers, and it costs even more to keep them around when they are stressed out of their minds all the time with endless tasks and burnout. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining IT as well can be difficult, particularly if you currently subscribe to the break-fix mentality (it breaks, you fix or replace it). Managed IT makes technology maintenance accessible and, crucially, more affordable.
Operational issues will arise as your technology ages alongside your business. Thankfully, there are ways you can mitigate these challenges. Through proactive maintenance from a managed IT provider, you can stay on the lookout for issues and address them before they evolve into bigger and more complex problems. You can also address patches and updates manually without the need for an on-site visit, making your operations run smoother and better as a whole.
Network security is not a simple feat, and there are countless variables to consider. You’ll need to keep your systems updated and maintained while also keeping an eye on traffic traveling to and from your network. Furthermore, you have your employees and their actions to worry about. For this reason alone, we recommend both taking preventative measures with comprehensive security solutions, and training your staff on security best practices to ensure they are not gateways into your organization’s network. You can combine all of this with remote monitoring and management tools to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. A managed service provider can handle all of this for your business so you can focus on being productive.
So much goes into managing an IT infrastructure that you might have internal IT staff who are simply too busy to address some of the smaller, everyday inconveniences that drive you nuts. Similarly, you might also encounter issues where your everyday challenges keep your IT staff from implementing new and innovative solutions designed to improve operations. In any case, you can make less work for everyone involved by outsourcing some aspects of your IT operations to a third party provider.
