Let’s say you are organizing your new business start-up.  Your attorney has you registered with the state, your accountant has your books setup, and your real estate agent has you in leased space.  Your computers are next on the list.  What to do?

A managed IT services company may be a good option for you.  These companies provide computer consulting, expertise, and technical support on an as-needed basis.  This takes the weight off your shoulders and keeps you from having to staff an internal IT department.

Benefits of managed IT Service

There are numerous benefits to working with a managed IT services company.  We’ll list a few here.

• Expert Consulting – You will have access to a knowledgeable IT staff that is exposed to many different environments.  This adds to their overall knowledgebase and allows them to better guide you and your organization.

• Scalable Resources – Your computer support needs likely do not require a full-time individual.  However, at times, such as when starting the company, moving to a new location, or replacing a server you may need several IT personnel to complete the project.  An MSP will provide support resources as you need them.

• Purchasing Support – An MSP is able to help you with recommendations on which computers, servers, and networking equipment will best help your company meets its objectives.  In many cases the components can be purchased through the MSP at better rates and purchasing in this manner ensures that the correct items are ordered.

• Hosted and Managed IT Services – Many MSP’s provide hosted services for email, online backup, website hosting, hosted desktop and/or server environments, etc.  This reduces the number of vendors with which you need to coordinate.  It also helps to streamline your services so they better work in concert with each other.

• Managed Network and Maintenance – Your computer and network equipment needs routine maintenance and check-ups like any other integral business machine.  Managed Service Providers have contract plans to take care of these maintenance tasks for you.  This allows you to take a pro-active approach to keeping your network at top notch.
