MANAGED IT SERVICES

Ever wish you could spend less time managing your company’s information infrastructure and more time growing your business? Are you tired of reacting to IT problems with quick but temporary fixes that never seem to solve the whole problem? If you answered yes to either of these questions, an experienced managed IT services company can help.

Let’s take a look at what managed IT service providers do, why they’re important to your business, and how choosing the right managed IT service provider can save you time and money.

WHAT ARE MANAGED IT SERVICES?

Today’s businesses rely on an uninterrupted flow of information. When that flow falters for any reason, your business can experience delays, downtimes, or in the worst-case scenario, a security breach or catastrophic data loss.

A managed IT services company takes on the burden of maintaining the integrity of your IT network so you have time for what’s really important—growing your business.

Managed IT services include:

  • 24/7/365 remote monitoring and management of your servers, as well as any desktop or mobile devices used by your employees - either on or offsite.
  • Cyber security protocols that safeguard encrypted data, identify server or network vulnerabilities, prevent potential breaches, manage secured payment systems, and more.
  • Public cloud storage security and recovery services to protect data that lives in the cloud.
  • Catastrophic loss prevention and information recovery services - including a disaster plan and hot servers that can begin recovering data as soon as a loss is detected.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGED IT SERVICES

Managing a business is stressful enough, without the added headache of worrying that your IT systems aren’t performing as they should—or worse, that a data breach is costing you time, money, and customers. Here are just a few of the benefits that a managed IT services firm can offer…

  • Round-the-clock monitoring allows for detection of server and network problems before they become costly headaches - and often before you even know there’s a problem!
  • Security breaches cost U.S. companies millions annually. With a savvy managed IT firm handling securing you network, your transactions, and your data, you can spend less time worrying about (or reacting to) breaches and more time running your business.
  • Today, many companies rely on public cloud storage to manage large amounts of data outside their home servers. Data losses and breaches can occur here too, and a managed IT services firm can help you to secure your company’s cloud data and provide recovery services in the event of a loss.
  • Finally, there’s the worst-case scenario - a catastrophic data loss. A managed IT firm can be your greatest ally even before a major data loss occurs - by helping you create a disaster recovery plan for your business, by establishing backup and recovery protocols, and employing remote hot servers that can start restoring lost data immediately to minimize any interruption.

WHY HIRE A MANAGED IT SERVICES FIRM?

After reviewing all these services and benefits, it still may seem tempting to tackle network and server issues in-house. But before you do, consider the best use of your resources.

  • Can you afford the person-hours required to monitor your network and servers around the clock, 365 days a year?
  • Are you willing to commit significant staff hours to preventing, detecting, investigating, and addressing cyber security breaches?
  • Can your in-house IT staff respond effectively to a catastrophic data compromise or loss?
  • Will you have to hire and train new staff to handle your IT needs as you grow?
  • And if you can handle all these challenges, does doing so represent the most cost-effective use of your time?
