HIRING A MANAGED IT SERVICES PROVIDER ISN’T EXCITING, BUT YOUR BUSINESS RELIES ON IT.
When thinking about your business, you must remember that technology runs your company. IT can no longer be an afterthought budget like it was in the 90s. Don’t be shortsighted with your IT spend. You can no longer go without good security, planning, backup, support, and monitoring. A Managed IT Services Provider can keep your IT infrastructure secure and up-to-date with little more than a fixed monthly fee.
- How do you know your MSP is actually keeping you safe?
- Are they keeping up with their certifications and best practice?
- Do they provide you with all the documentation you need if something was to happen to them?
Your business needs those answers, and “I like them” is not a great answer when you think about it. Your business and the people there rely on you to make sure your house is in order – esp. in regard to your business network.
With Managed IT Services, these problems go away. We strive for you to have ALL the information ALL the time and overall have a great experience as your IT partner. If that is not enough to look into Managed IT for your company, here are five reasons you need Managed IT services for your business.
1. ENHANCED SECURITY
Laptops, desktops, smartphones, applications, tablets, servers, operating systems, browsers, and IoT devices store and transmit data and thus require strict security measures. Remove your fear of becoming the next headline in a high-profile data breach or data loss incident. For example, if you own a doctor’s office, you must have a HIPAA-compliant network to which a turnkey answer is a competent managed it services provider.
2. BEING PROACTIVE SAVES YOU TIME AND MONEY
Stop worrying about your daily IT operations. Why second-guess the reliability and speediness of your network? Being proactive with Total Networx means we help you create and implement a technology plan that helps you plan, organize, and understand your network, security, and disaster recovery needs – so you can sleep at night.
3. MAXIMIZE YOUR NETWORK UPTIME WITH A MANAGED IT SERVICES PROVIDER
Today, your business needs to be completely prepared for emergencies such as power failures, security breaches, data loss, or other disasters that could damage your accounts and credibility. There’s a need for constant uptime and business continuity. Managed service providers (MSP) like Total Networx ensure the safety of your and your clients’ precious data in any disaster situation. As your trusted IT partner, it’s our role to help you identify and prevent the kind of damaging impact a downtime event could have on your business.
4. ACCESS AND REVIEW OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES
If it’s new, we’re looking at it. From the latest in crypto locker defense to email spam filtering, we are always looking for the latest technology to help your experience and security.
Many times, an internal IT person does not have the time or energy to keep apprised of all the latest software releases, hardware upgrades, or connection options. We’re always in that trench and will help you or your internal IT stay apprised of new options at each of your regular technology plan review meetings.
5. COST SAVINGS
If you look at the cost, time, and energy required for internal IT, we are less expensive and provide more support for your organization. For larger organizations, instead of hiring more IT Staff, we often supplement an already-in-place team – esp. if they want to take a vacation occasionally!
Overall, your customers are going to start asking questions about your network security. Your insurance companies probably already asking questions about your network security. In addition, if you remain reactive, you will question your sanity on why you didn’t work this out before it became an issue.
