Modern business technology is evolving faster than ever, and leaders should react by taking a strategic, measured approach to managing outsourced IT support services. Make sure your tech delivers optimal value by outsourcing managed IT services to EIRE Systems so you can focus on core business operations and business growth.
Still Using In-House Business IT Support Service Providers?
Unless you’re a huge company with the ability to hire and sustain an entire tech department, in-house IT staff’s operating costs can be expensive and inefficient. Paying for the knowledge, professional expertise and qualifications required for full-scale network management and information technology services simply isn’t realistic for many startups and small to mid sized businesses. Plus, smaller, less experienced teams naturally have limitations, which causes downtime and often results in outsourcing on top of sustaining your employees.
What’s more, trying to maintain an entire team that’s available around the clock would be exorbitant, leaving your company vulnerable to security and maintenance issues outside working hours. If something goes wrong during the evenings or weekends, you’ll eat into your budget by outsourcing to an emergency IT assistance team or waiting until an employee is available. Downtime is the enemy of profit, and the best way to avoid it is by having an IT support service on-hand able to respond to out of hours emergencies.
Hiring an in-house support team is always going to be more expensive than outsourcing to a third party. With managed IT support services from EIRE Systems, you benefit from having an entire team for the cost of one or two employees, with comprehensive expertise covering the full scope of information technology support.
Cons of in-house IT support services:
- More expensive than outsourced IT support services
- No support services during vacations or sick leave
- Limited or nonexistent IT support services during evenings and weekends
- Knowledge gaps when replacing employees
- Heavy burden on small teams
- Potential resistance to change
Benefits of Outsourced IT Support Services
Most companies are shifting to outsourced IT support services in at least one area, with IT support high on the list of solutions. Let’s look at the top reasons our customers are happy they outsourced IT support services to our team of experts:
- High-level IT expertise: An IT service provider comes with a wide array of expertise and experience that’s often too expensive for small- to medium-sized businesses to find internally.
- Reduced costs and fixed price: You’ll save thousands of dollars each year by choosing outsourced IT support services compared to maintaining an in-house team. You eliminate hiring, and onboarding costs and are only charged for the time spent working on your IT systems, which can vary significantly month-to-month.
- More productive: If you’re looking to increase productivity, outsourcing IT support is a no-brainer. An IT company has a wealth of tools and resources at their disposal that can instantly add value to your operation. They’re in a position to make proactive decisions with a workforce strong enough to fix issues before you or your customers notice them.
- Faster: With technology innovations happening at record pace, in-house teams don’t have the time or money to dedicate to training and upgrading to the latest tech, skills, accreditation, processes and threat intelligence.
- Flexibility and scalability: Buying support hours in blocks of pre-paid units can make it easier to budget, which means you have increased flexibility and planning potential. As such, IT services can easily grow as your business’s needs evolve.
- Around-the-clock support services: Consumers increasingly expect 24/7 access to your business, and it’s more important than ever as the internet facilitates global operations across time zones. Any amount of downtime can eat into your bottom line, and outsourcing is the best way to prevent it.
- Reduced risk: In-house IT support tends to be reactive as opposed to proactive, often feeling like firefighting instead of strategy. An IT support company’s resources allow for IT infrastructure monitoring, so we can tackle potential issues before they impact your business.
