Managed Services Save More Than Money

Managed Services Save More Than Money

It's no secret that downtime costs money. But that doesn't quite capture the whole experience. So let's imagine an average workday without managed services:

You arrive to work in the morning, grab your coffee knowing you’ve got a hectic day ahead, and are ready to dive in.

But for some reason, your computer can’t access the database and neither can anyone else’s. You restart the server while fielding calls left and right, but are unable to answer any client queries. Your hands are completely tied… and now the server is beeping furiously… what’s going on?!

You’re not just in crisis mode, you’re on damage control as you call every tech you can think of, trying to find one who can come NOW.

Not exactly the day you had planned.

Managed Services are a better option than Break-Fix IT

The Break/Fix Days Are Gone

Previously, businesses only addressed their IT needs when something broke. A few hours down meant little in the scope of things. But in today’s fast-paced world, businesses rely heavily on IT and downtime just isn’t an option. Even the legalities of simply restoring financial, legal, or medical files after a breach raises issues.

The cost of break/fix is now too high - both financially and emotionally.

Simply put, your IT services are remotely monitored and proactively managed by a professional, external business. Your Managed Service Provider (MSP) runs regular diagnostics on equipment to identify impending failure and resolves problems before they happen.

There are many benefits to managed services.

Benefits of Managed Services

Small to medium businesses in particular benefit from managed services, because they don’t usually have an on-site technician to oversee the multiple systems in use. By subscribing to a managed service provider, businesses can have reduced labor costs, access to a knowledge base, future-proofing, better data security and reduced downtime. Businesses can also know exactly what their upcoming costs are and plan accordingly.

Some of the managed services we can provide are:

  • Remote support – This allows us to help you quickly without needing to be on-site.
  • Hardware monitoring – We monitor your servers and workstations to catch hardware failures before they happen.
  • Managed anti-virus – We make sure your anti-virus is up to date and take immediate action if an infection occurs.
  • Patch management – We make sure your computer’s operating system is up to date, closing access to known vulnerabilities as soon as possible.

Now ask yourself: How much downtime can your business afford?
