There are many issues with an antiquated approach to information technology support, but one of the worst is the financial volatility it brings.
If you want to avoid the risk of one technical failure or security issue taking you down and costing you a huge sum, it is critical that you avoid this volatility. We’re here to help.
The First Step: Shifting from Reactive Fixes to Proactive Prevention
Which sounds better to you: paying whatever a vendor happens to demand when an issue arises, or knowing that you’re protected from the majority of complications in exchange for a consistent and budgetable monthly cost?
This difference is the foundation of managed IT services. Instead of dealing with the unpredictability of technical issues, the consistency we provide through our proactive management helps you avoid costs and budget more accurately throughout the fiscal year.
The Second Step: Strategic Reduction of Total Cost of Ownership
We offer virtual CIO services, where we take on the role of an outsourced Chief Information Officer. As such, we operate as a pseudo-executive for your business, strategically planning your hardware and software lifecycles. As such, we identify the tech investments most likely to help you grow and deliver the highest returns.
Plus, planning ahead like this helps reduce (or ideally eliminate) the pain of a suddenly necessary purchase.
The Third Step: Keeping Your Hardware Working Longer
Hardware is notoriously expensive to replace, especially if it can potentially last longer through proper maintenance. The following practices can help greatly:
- Replace each workstation every 3-to-5 years. This helps avoid excessive performance degradation and allows your team to maintain a higher productivity ratio.
- Use the same hardware across the office. This makes it easier to equip everyone with the appropriate peripherals and to simplify support.
- Maintain a dedicated server room, keeping it cool to protect your infrastructure from heat-related damage and component failure.
