The Challenges of In-House Managed IT Services

Today, IT services are vital for everyday operations in virtually every business of every size. However, having in-house managed IT services can be difficult and expensive for many companies. There is an easier way.

IT Worker Expertise

When your managed IT services are in your office, there may be limited expertise in today’s system requirements and threats. The software used in the office changes often, and computer languages evolve. With managed IT services that are in-house, you may have a limited range of tech expertise at your disposal. The preference is often to have outside IT techs to benefit from their up-to-date abilities. Having remote IT techs also means they are available around the clock to solve problems. Your office will never have to try to track down an IT worker to report a network problem.

The Cost of In-House IT

If your company’s managed IT services are in-house, there must be a substantial budget for your IT team. Having them-in house requires more space, more furnishings, more equipment, more salaries on the payroll, and more. Often, this is beyond the budget of a small business. Managed IT remote services will keep costs as low as possible while providing every IT service needed for your network. It’s an excellent way to increase the profit margin and to ensure that the computer network is being monitored and maintained.

Changing Size and Tech

For most businesses, change is a part of the atmosphere. Your business may grow quickly, requiring more office machines, a more extensive network, and more IT expertise. Your office may also change its tech, switching to different computers, printers, and other electronics as new tech becomes available. If your in-house IT team is used to those machines and/or a business that size, these changes may render them unable to keep up with the network’s needs. Outsourcing your IT services allows for rapid scaling as well as allowing access to IT workers who are well-versed in new technologies. Big changes in your business don’t have to mean dips in productivity or mistakes being made due to growth and change.
