Technology is a major part of the modern business landscape, and IT costs have grown to be a considerable portion of countless budgets. Dealing with those costs, however, presents a distinct problem as company controllers balance the financial demands of the present with user’s needs and the needs of the organization in the future.
The solution? Managed IT services from high quality providers like Grundig IT. Since 2004 we’ve been busy helping hundreds of businesses in Contra Costa County, providing a higher standard of workplace information technology while also controlling costs and protecting your budget. Here’s four reasons how:
1. Predictable Technology Rates
The alternative to Managed IT is something called the break-fixed model, in which a company pays for IT services one at a time as they are needed. Unfortunately, this model leads to overwhelmed IT staff (if the company has any), downtime, unpredictable and often expansive repair costs, and costly mistakes. Managed IT provides insurance against these costs. Instead of unpredictable IT costs, you outsource the responsibility to a professional IT team able to come in and support your company and your business to solve your problems, monitor your network, and quickly and professionally respond to any failures or breakdowns in the future. We’ll design a package that suits your business’ IT needs and supports you for the long haul.
2. Cloud Software
Instead of spending money on servers and hardware that sit in the basement sucking energy and gradually going obsolete, more and more companies are turning to cloud services and reducing their power and cooling costs, software licensing fees, and equipment replacement expenses in the process. And if you’re worried about making the jump, don’t be. Managed IT is good at a number of things, and setting up and maintaining cloud environments for maximum company productivity and cost savings is one of them.
3. Better Uptime
As mentioned, part of your IT service involves ongoing monitoring and support of your network. Instead of discovering problems when you show up in the morning, managed IT services will detect many problems immediately as they occur, contacting you and responding to restore your system with minimal downtime. This protects your brand image by keeping your customer-facing services operational, prevents lost productivity due to network unavailability, and can lead to the long-term improvement and optimization of your system.
4. Expert Advice and Consulting
One of the best was to save time and reduce costs during a project is to proceed with a plan. And, when it comes to planning out your company’s technology investment, you need experts. We offer skilled, experienced consultants who understand technology and its associated costs and requirements. When you’re planning for the future or resolving ongoing issues our team can help you nail down the specifics so that we can proceed quickly, boosting your company’s productivity and avoiding costly delays or missteps along the way.
