Network uptime has never been more important for business than it is today. Employees, customers, and business partners expect fast and continuous access to applications and information at all times. It is critical that IT managed services providers prioritize network uptime. Developing an IT strategy that works to eliminate network downtime is becoming vital as companies’ relationships with both staff and clients become more dependent on reliable network support and IT services.

In today’s technology-driven business climate, managed IT solutions are now more important than ever. Through outsourcing, companies can reap the benefits of implementing advanced IT strategies without having to support in-house IT departments or pour inefficient investment into IT infrastructure. Below are a few reasons why outsourcing your IT support can have a major positive impact on your business.

The amount of electronic information and data healthcare providers are responsible for is undeniably massive. The industry thus requires a wide range of complex technology services, which are often best served through outsourced IT solutions.

Every company has a story. If the company is growing, that story likely includes how they have overcome obstacles and matured past growing pains. What worked in the beginning, when they were looking to build an initial client base, may not have continued to work as they grew. Hard decisions were made. New people entered the mix. And while the company’s core values didn’t change, they grew into new and, hopefully, better ways of living those values out.

If you’re part of a growing company that has been in business for a number of years, a story of change and evolution may resonate with you. That’s why we wanted to share the story of how, since our founding in 2002, we have learned from experience how best to live out our passion for transforming businesses’ IT into engines for growth.

With very few exceptions, all businesses rely on technology to some degree, and most rely on it heavily. But businesses differ in terms of how they view their IT investment. Some view technology as a money pit that they can’t live without – a necessary evil. Others view technology as a tool that can help them compete in an economy of “disruption.” They know that in the 21st century, the companies who use technology as an engine for innovation and transformation (think Uber) are the ones likely to succeed.

While there are certainly valid reasons for some business owners to view their IT as a necessary evil, it is possible for every business – regardless of size – to transform their technology into an engine for growth.

As your managed IT services provider, we want to provide as much awareness as possible of the latest scams and tactics that may put your data and company assets at risk.

However, as countless companies making news headlines have found out, turning a blind eye to cyber security can be catastrophic for your business.
