5 Reasons to Shift Your IT Responsibilities to a Professional

January 14th, 2019 by Function4

Should you outsource some or all of your IT responsibilities to a trusted provider? For many small and mid-sized companies, outsourcing to a managed services provider is an excellent way to access benefits not ordinarily available for smaller organizations.

Here's a look at the many ways your company could benefit from a managed IT approach.

1. Lower costs

   The relative unpredictability of IT costs can disrupt your plans. By switching to a managed IT approach, small companies can avoid unexpected costs without skimping on essential IT security solutions. And the burden of keeping an IT staff trained and certified can be transferred to the managed services provider.

2. Faster launches

   Implementing new technologies can be tough for your company when you have to wait for funding. A professional IT provider is continually adding to their infrastructure to provide the best possible service. Why not leverage this advantage in your favor?

3. Lower risk

   IT security threats are everywhere, and they can change overnight. To lower your company's risk, managed IT services providers assume the burden of staying ahead of emerging threats, monitoring your systems, and providing solutions proactively rather than after a potential threat turns into a catastrophic reality.

4. A competitive advantage

   Your company may be small, but you're playing on a vast field. Outsourcing can help your company contend with larger competitors by leveling the IT playing field. Your organization can have access to the same expertise, infrastructure and IT security solutions that your competitors enjoy as a matter of course.

5. Compliance solutions

   In an economy where most business transactions are digital, maintaining compliance standards can be a full-time job. Minimize your risk of falling short by transferring some of your IT-related compliance responsibilities to a professional provider.
