Do You Know What Your Company’s Most Expensive Asset Is?
It's the same for every business. You have one particular asset that takes up more of your resources and budget than any other - your employees. Hiring a new team member means investing in someone you believe is the best choice for your business, and hoping they won't let you down.
But something more businesses are realizing is that when it comes to IT, hiring in-house isn't always the right choice. Hiring in-house IT Staff also forces you as an owner to focus energy more on Human Resources as well. You need to consider the hiring and potential termination process, as well as considering if your IT employee becomes sick, injured, or simply quits for another opportunity. In exchange for having someone onsite each day, your business has to cover the cost of:
- Salary
- Training
- Certifications
- Benefits
- Vacation Coverage
The alternative to all of that is outsourcing your IT needs to a Managed Service Provider. For a fraction of the cost of one full-time employee, your business will have access to a team of knowledgeable and experienced professionals, each with their own skill set to help identify, troubleshoot, and fix issues fast.
Enjoy The Benefits of Outsourced IT
As a business owner, it can be hard to get past the idea that asking outsiders to handle a sensitive aspect of your operations is like inviting the fox into the hen house. This is especially true when you've built your business yourself from the ground up. You can't help being protective.
But in today’s technology-driven world, the bigger risk is trying to take everything on yourself. Technology changes quickly, and when that's not your only priority, it's impossible to keep up. An IT Service Provider, on the other hand? It's our job to keep up. We work hard - and work together - to make sure we:
- Constantly develop new skills
- Have quick access to internal expert knowledge
- Continuously train on the latest technology
- Concentrate on different skills to round out our team
