Benefits of Outsourced IT and Network Management

In today’s technology-based business world, it’s important to stay up-to-date with your IT needs to succeed. But technology is dynamic and staying current can challenge small and medium-sized businesses who often can’t afford the internal staffing and expert resources needed to ensure they have the best technical solution deployed. If you feel like you are either lagging behind in your IT or constantly struggling to improve your systems, outsourced IT and network management can be a big step in the right direction.

Here are some of the benefits outsourcing IT and network management can provide.

  1. Cost savings

Outsourced IT offers fixed fee cost structures, often a set cost per user per month and spread staffing costs over several client businesses to generate attractive pricing for clients. In addition, the use of hardware leasing arrangements where hardware is financed and included in the monthly fee structure can provide significant savings over your own financing of servers, work stations and network devices. If you need user help desk support, outsourced providers can offer cost savings through the deployment of fractional resources to support your business as opposed to the full costs of full-time internal staffing.

  1. Outsourced IT give you easy access to latest technology

Having access to highly trained, credentialed IT professionals provides you with easy access to the latest technology advancements. With outsourced IT you leverage experts who work across industries and applications and stay current on developments as a natural course of their work, a sharp contrast to internal IT staffing who are focused on the here and now of supporting your business.

  1. Continuous network monitoring

Outsourced IT offers continuous network monitoring to ensure that your infrastructure is up and able to support your business operation. In addition to immediate alerts of network problems, continuous monitoring of key network performance indicators helps identify potential issues like slowdowns for proactive management. As a result, you get smooth operations with high uptime and avoidance of possible issues through preventative measures.

  1. Lower risk exposure

Outsourcing your IT will help you minimize the impact of technical issues significantly. From timely backups to fixing network failures, outsourcing provides one-stop management of your full IT system. As a result, a quality outsourced IT management plan reduces risk by improving uptime and system availability, addressing vulnerabilities before they become issues.
