What happens when it all goes wrong?
PCs can suffer hard drive failure, or present you with the ‘blue screen of death’ for seemingly no reason. Viruses designed to glean business critical data from networks can take hold, and software updates can contain bugs. All of these things and more, cause varying degrees of unpredicted interruptions to your workday, frustrating when the smooth running of your business is affected as a result.
Experiencing downtime curtails productivity, which in turn affects your bottom line. And not only this, if you are experiencing problems which affect your website or your customers’ ability to contact you, they’re being caused frustration which can also lose you potential sales!
More and more businesses and organisations are moving towards investing in managed IT support, and it’s not difficult to see why.
Whatever the size of your business, utilising managed IT providers means you’re benefiting from the economy of scale. Managed IT providers have whole teams of trained IT experts, which you can have access to for, most likely, a much lower cost than employing just one person in-house to look after all of your IT systems.
