Managed IT services allow you to monitor your network 24 hours a day and ensure that your business is truly secure. Outsourcing your IT allows you to have all of the benefits of a fully trained department without the costs associated with hiring, training and finding room for additional employees. Managed services also ensures that your business stays on the cutting edge of the latest technology and significantly cuts your security risks.
3 Ways Managed IT can Benefit your Business
Save Money
The largest item managed IT allows a business to save money on is hiring costs. Every employee you have to hire costs far more than just salary; you’ll need to pay benefits and other expenses as well. If you are close to the threshold that the Affordable Care Act has set for healthcare compliance, even a single employee could boost you into another category and increase the insurance requirements for all of your workers. A managed IT team is fully trained, so you won’t have to worry about education and certification costs which can further increase the capital invested in new hires.
Save Time
Managed IT can also save you a considerable amount of time, particularly if you have been handling some or all of the network tasks yourself. Switching to a new system, upgrading your network and handling any problems that arise all take time; a managed IT team is available 24 hours a day and can be used for both routine and unusual tasks. Unlike a traditional employee, your managed services team can monitor your network around the clock and constantly perform maintenance, ensuring things always run smoothly.
Properly Allocation of Resources
One of the greatest issues a growing business faces is how to delegate tasks and how to determine “who” handles which job. If you are relying on a team member to handle your IT as needed, that person is likely overwhelmed and unable to fully perform their tasks. Adding extra workers won’t alleviate the issue; you’ll just end up with more employees who are unable to fully focus on their primary responsibilities. Outsourcing your IT takes the burden off of your talented staff and allows them to actually perform the jobs you hired them for.
