Learn how outsourcing your IT can benefit your small to medium business.
Over the last ten years, the growth of the Internet has allowed small businesses (who previously had to compete at the local level) a chance to stand toe-to-toe with the big international players in their category.
With the competitive field broadened, SMBs need to take close looks at how to build a strong infrastructure without compromising their growth.
One of the most critical areas that many businesses are paying close attention to is their Information Technology department: Should they build it in-house, or outsource it?
Why Your Business Can Benefit From Outsourcing Your IT Infrastructure:
Get access to big business support at small business prices: The "big guys" can afford to have full IT teams with a great deal of experience, but smaller companies generally can only afford one or two people (sometimes part time), with varying degrees of experience. Outsourcing means you get access to a large, experienced team that you otherwise wouldn't be able to work with.
Leave areas that require expertise to experts: Many business owners spend a lot of time as their own Information Technology department. It ultimately comes down to a question of time: how is your time best used? Most business owners would agree that their time is best spent developing their business, rather than worrying about IT issues.
Outsourcing IT usually means much lower personnel costs: If you keep your IT in-house, you have to pay fulltime salary, benefits, and much more. When you outsource, you only use your team when you need them - keeping costs low.
Outsourcing IT also means much lower physical costs: If you're keeping your IT on site, you likely have servers for your email / shared directories, a dedicated server room, and much more. Servers are very expensive, and prone to problems, but when you outsource these needs you get access to a "cloud" of servers, paying only for what you need, when you need it. The savings can be huge, and add up very quickly!
