"It's like what I tell patients about cavity prevention. We can do regular cleanings and checkups and catch any problems early or we can wait until you're in pain and desperately needing a root canal or a crown. There is no comparison for preventative maintenance, period."
-Dr. Mo Biria
Why do businesses outsource their IT?
-
Are you wasting valuable time and resources trying to handle your own IT needs?
If you find that you are taking away time from core business development to perform routine IT tasks such as updating software or troubleshooting network problems, it is time to transfer all IT related jobs to a managed service provider to free up your time and resources. Spend your time and money doing what you do best and allow a professional to tackle IT responsibilities.
-
Is your business limited in its growth because substandard technology is holding it back?
Do you feel that with some technological improvements your business could see significant growth? Why limit your business to the equipment and technology you have on hand when a small investment could net your business much larger profits? Whether you need to upgrade some old equipment or outdated software or if you are interested in web and application development, a managed services provider can offer guidance on the next steps you should take towards making these improvements. Hire a professional to get the level of service your business deserves to ensure your technology is optimized to promote and handle growth.
-
Are you concerned your business continuity plan needs updating?
Having a business continuity plan in the event of a cyber attack or system failure is no longer enough to ensure your business’s survival. You need to have a plan, test this plan, evaluate your plan, and make routine updates and improvements. It is also imperative that you purchase and maintain the right backup appliance. A managed services provider will work with you to devise the strongest business continuity plan possible and help you invest in the right equipment to best serve your needs.
-
Does your business need to adhere to HIPAA regulations?
Whether you run a chiropractic office or process insurance claims, even small businesses must adhere to the HIPAA regulations governing the privacy of medical information. Violations of these regulations can result in heavy fines should a breach occur. Compliance officers can also audit your business and issue fines for violations. Many small practices readily admit they still have not achieved total compliance. If your small business must adhere to HIPAA regulations, you can not afford to take any chances with data security and storage. A professional can assist you in making sure you meet regulations and remain compliant.

The Top 10 Benefits of Outsourcing
IT through Managed Services
Immediate benefits can be gained by outsourcing IT services through Managed Services.
- Control IT Costs
Outsourcing to an MSP converts variable IT costs into fixed costs and allows you budget effectively. In other words, only pay for what you use when you need it. - Reduce Labor Costs
Hiring and training an IT staff can be very expensive, and temporary employees don't always live up to your expectations. Outsourcing to an MSP lets you focus your human resources where you need them most. - Trained, Experienced, Qualified, Certified.
If you’re not IT trained, how do you assure an employee is qualified? Certifications like Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) are important, but so is experience.
