Should You Outsource to Managed IT Services?
July 30th, 2018 by Function4
Developing an in-house IT solution means you'll be starting from the ground up. Here's a look at the primary considerations when deciding whether to outsource to managed IT services.
The In-House Solution
One of the benefits of an in-house IT solution is ready access to a team familiar with your infrastructure. Since your technicians are on-site, they can usually act quickly to address issues.
On the other hand, you'll need employees and the ability to meet their wage and benefit requirements. Purchasing equipment is also a significant factor, and you'll need to divert funds from your operating capital to get the technology you need. Technology goes out of date rapidly, so having the funds for upgrades is also a consideration.
The Managed IT Services Solution
If an in-house IT solution isn't quite right for your business, you can meet and even exceed all of your IT needs by outsourcing to a Managed IT Services provider.
