December 8, 2015 10:35 pm

When something goes awry with your business computer system–and it always does–you depend on your IT Department to solve the problem in a timely manner.  Sometimes you wonder where your company would be without that group of professionals who seem to be able to mysteriously fix all the tech problems with the press of a few buttons and the writing of code.  Well, what if I told you that outsourcing your company’s need may be more beneficial to your company?  What if I told you that outsourcing could be advantageous in several ways such as: cost effectiveness, improved security, increased productivity, and access to state of the art technology? Let’s look at some of the benefits that your company may see if they switch to outsourcing their IT needs.

  • Cost Savings – Financial savings can be across the board in two main areas:  equipment and labor.  When outsourcing IT your savings can be upwards of thousands of dollars a year, potentially. Hardware expenditures will be down including: servers, storage, and telecommunications equipment can be provided as part of your IT package.  There will also be no more yearly expenditure for salary or health benefits for an operational IT Department.  Hiring and training an IT staff can be very expensive. Outsourcing allows your company to only pay for what is needed, when it is needed.
  • Improved Technology and Security – Outsourcing means that if you hire a quality provider, your software including malware will be up-to-date and prepared for the latest security risks. Outsourcing also means that you are hiring experts who are trained by the provider on the latest technology and security protocols because that is the basis of their business.  Outsourced IT departments can provide IT tech experts that have a very high skill set and knowledge about the newest trends in software that will be compatible with your company’s systems.  Outsourcing is also ideal because a quality provider will stay on top of new tech and keep their system up to date. This way, your business can take advantage of cutting edge technology.
  • Improved Productivity – Your company, whether it is in healthcare, engineering, law, nonprofit or retail can now focus on your core business while leaving the tech needs to an outside company whose sole purpose is to make your systems are running and secure so you can back to the “real” work.
