The Benefits of Managed Services

Managed services for IT are becoming more and more popular but is it something you can benefit from as a company.

There are many companies today that have already made the switch from calling for IT help when needed to managed services for IT. There are many benefits associated with this move that you may not have yet realized. Understanding what you can gain from it can help you make the right decision for your IT needs and your company.

It is Less Expensive in the Long Run

Preventing IT issues from occurring is less expensive than fixing them as they occur. For example, if your network goes down, then the cost to your company is ultimately greater for this downtime than it is for you to pay for the repairs. When you experience downtime, it could cost you thousands of dollars or more per hour. If your company cannot function without your network running, then you just cannot afford ever to let it go down. That is what makes paying for managed IT services a better alternative that ultimately costs less because you are preventing this from happening.

It Aligns Goals

If you are still utilizing the break and fix model for your IT, then your goals are not aligning with the company you are using to come in and fix the issues. The IT company and your business ultimately have different goals. They make money when you have problems, so they are not interested in helping you prevent such issues in your business. However, with managed services for IT, your goals can align so that the managed services for IT are in line with your goals as a company. Managed services for IT companies are not in the business to make money when something breaks. They want to help you prevent such issues from occurring, which is something you want as well.

It Helps Your IT Grow

When you use managed services for IT, you will no longer be fixing issues as they come up. Since you are preventing these things from happening, you have the opportunity to grow your IT infrastructure in a way that allows you to budget and plan to replace aging items before they have the chance to break. You can also plan for upgrades since you will be saving money through this method. Continuing to improve your IT infrastructure is an excellent way to grow it. You get the opportunity to be proactive instead of reactive. Your managed services provider can also help you ensure that as you grow, your infrastructure is set up to handle everything your company needs. Managed IT Services is imperative to maintaining your growth and continuing to improve over time.

Technology and IT in the business is a paramount part of ensuring that business runs as usual as well as finding ways to get better and grow with the market. You cannot rely on the reactive model of break and fix anymore. You need a system that will help you prepare better for the future and provide you with a way to grow.

My passion is to make my mark on the world in a positive and lasting way. I want to set an example for my son that his father can compete with integrity in today’s world, be very successful, and leave the world a better place for him.

Combining my technical/business-based education with a long career steadily progressing up the corporate ladder, I decided to build a company that held true to my values. So, I founded and designed the next generation of IT support firm: CTECH Consulting Group Inc. We are a completely automated, cloud-based IT company designed to compete against any other IT firm without the overhead. We promote a lifestyle to all our staff where they can work anywhere, at any time, access any information on any device that is relevant to their job, and collaborate with anyone they want to.
