What 2019 goals have you set for your business? How much do you want to grow? Chances are, when you envision all that your company can be, you are not thinking about things that can delay you in reaching your goals like IT problems and their headaches. You’re probably not thinking of bugs, security breaches, and how you are going to protect your data. IT problems can cost you money and productivity and can make your goals seem a little further out of reach. That is why hiring a company to manage all of your IT needs is one of the best investments you can make.

Benefits of Outsourcing your IT:

• Access to a team of experts. With managed IT, when a problem does arise, you have a team of experts who solve IT problems every day working to solve yours. Isn’t that so much better than you or one of your employees taking the time for trial and error? That’s time away from improving your company and meeting your goals.
• Reliable Security. No matter what your company sells, you are probably using computers and many other electronic devices. Keeping information safe is extremely important. But as a business owner, sometimes it’s difficult to keep up on the latest technology and anticipate weaknesses in your systems before they become a problem.

Managed IT is essential to detecting threats and vulnerabilities, fixing bugs before they become an issue, and hopefully preventing breaches. If a breach does happen, having managed IT will decrease downtime and save money and your reputation.

• Predictable IT expenses. Any business is going to spend money on hardware, software, maintenance of your system, and labor. If you are getting each of these from a different vendor, you will be paying more. Having all of these areas consolidated will help you predict and manage your overall expenses and budget for them, rather than having huge expenditures come when your system breaks down.
• Efficient employees. If your employees can’t do their jobs on computers that are breaking down or slow, employees get frustrated and are less productive. This can frustrate you, too. Staying up on the latest technology and keeping your IT systems running smoothly will help you avoid big losses of data and other catastrophic problems but will also greatly benefit the day-to-day operations of your company.
• Access to the latest technology. When new technology comes out that could enhance your security or help your company to run more efficiently, your managed IT will keep you aware of new things as they are available.
• Less to worry about. Overall, managed IT takes a burden off your shoulders. You don’t have to worry about your system being online. It just will be. You don’t have to worry about power outages and if you adequately backed up data. It just will be. You will be able to focus on running a business, not on installing a new computer and trouble shooting why it won’t hook to your network. A healthy IT network is more important than ever to the health of your business. Find managed IT you can trust, and then put your full attention to meeting your 2019 goals.
