Three Signs That You Need to Outsource Your IT Support to a Managed Service Provider

When you run your own company, nothing feels better than success. When you start from the ground, and do everything yourself, you feel proud and don’t want others to intrude. But sometimes you need to let go and have someone else support part of your business, specifically your IT.

You can only get away with minimal support for so long before you need more secure storage and data backup options. Using a basic internet security program can only protect you from so much. Truth is that new threats, like viruses, security threats and hackers, can slip by these basic protection models. If you are experiencing any of these issues, and any of the following three signs, you need to contact your local IT support managed service provider:

Rapidly Growing Business

It happens where the right business will take off quickly and your backup and security are the last notes on your list. Don’t let it get behind you and make sure you get on your backup, quickly. There comes a point in time when local backup storage is redundant and unreliable. Using cloud options to get ahead is a good place to be, as it can be limitless and most secure. CTECH Consulting Group knows all about the cloud and has helped many businesses, like yours, manage a secure backup system.

Hierarchy Restructuring

Every business will go through a restructure at some point. Whether you need to be more efficient with your work or create a stronger hierarchy, CTECH Consulting Group can help you get there. Having a Chief Information Officer (CIO) will help manage your services virtually, local if it is feasible. Either way, they can help you with all your tech needs from securing a network to knowing what systems you need to be running. CTECH Consulting Group can serve as your outsourced CIO without you having to hire an expensive C-level executive. Have a professional handle your systems: it’s the most informed decision you can make.

Needing to Be Proactive/Not Enough Time

Have there been any tasks that you said you will do tomorrow, or another day? Putting off your backup and technology needs is the same thing as opening the front door for viruses and security threats. If there is too much on your plate, hand it off. CTECH Consulting Group specializes in working with the needs of your business to make sure you are on the right track. If there is new technology suited for your business, you can be assured that you will know about it. Don’t walk around blind waiting for something to happen, throw a lock on the door and flick on the switch, know what you are getting into.

These three signs address three main concerns for any business:

• Security – keeping your files safe from threats
• Backup Systems – making sure your files don’t go missing
• Proactivity – staying prepared for threats and disasters from happening

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.
