What are the signs you may be ready to outsource to a managed IT services provider?
The IT workload keeps piling up - IT departments continue to find themselves struggling to keep up with their daily workload due to the continual influx of projects and ever changing technologies. By hiring a managed services provider, the IT department's workload is decreased allowing staff more time to focus on company operations and become more efficient.
IT unable to meet daily service demands - More and more companies hire IT staff having generalized rather than specialized skillsets. When projects arise requiring a specific skill, this places a strain upon current IT staff and takes away from daily service demands being completed. A managed services provider can alleviate the added demand by taking care of the service demands, providing the specialized IT skills needed for project or both.
Protecting sensitive information - Managed services providers can ensure sensitive or critical data is protected at all times whether it is transmitted, stored or accessed. Information ranging from financial records to protected health information is secure while complying with required regulations such as HIPAA.
Low IT budget - Are you considering hiring another IT professional? If yes, consider outsourcing to a managed services provider. You will pay a fixed fee for services and will not have the additional overhead for an employee such as employer contributions to health insurance, 401k, social security, Medicare, etc.
