When Should I Get Outsourced IT Support?

If your business seems to be continually bogged down by IT service requests, downtime, or server crashes, it might be time to consider outsourcing your IT support. Read on to learn more about when you should consider outsourcing and how it can benefit your business.

What Is IT Outsourcing?

Outsourcing is a process in which an external provider performs services for your business. The demand for this type of service has rapidly grown across a variety of sectors in recent years. For your IT needs, this can mean contracting a managed service provider (MSP) to handle your infrastructure management. MSPs can support your IT department by boosting cybersecurity, offering remote management and support, and even helping you back up sensitive data.

When Should My Business Outsource IT Services?

If you run a small or mid-sized business, it can be difficult to determine when you need outsourced IT support. Fortunately, there are a few indications that clearly show that your business needs it.

You’re Spending Too Much on In-House Support

Managing an in-house IT department can be rather expensive. In fact, it’s so expensive that 45% of companies that outsource their IT services do so just to cut costs. IT specialists are highly skilled, but they often require hefty salaries that can be difficult for smaller businesses to support. Finding external IT support is an excellent way to minimize your operational costs.

Your System Is Outdated

Technology is constantly evolving, and your in-house team may find that they’re struggling to adapt to rapid developments. If this is the case, your company may see a drop in its performance. Turning to professionals can give you access to the latest technology that can keep your business thriving.

Your In-House Team Is Overwhelmed

If your in-house team is stuck in a quagmire of backlogged IT projects and requests, it might be beneficial to support them by outsourcing your IT support. The digital world moves fast, so it’s necessary that you keep pace with inbound projects. With outsourced IT support, an MSP can take the weight off your team’s shoulders.

Benefits of Outsourced IT Support

Now that we know the signs that your business might need to outsource its IT services, let’s explore some of the benefits of IT infrastructure outsourcing.

Cost-Effectiveness

As mentioned above, running an in-house IT department can be expensive. An outsourced team costs less since they often operate on fixed rates that depend on how many devices are in your network. IT infrastructure outsourcing also removes the need for you to install, implement, and update your own infrastructure, which can also be expensive.

Scalability

With an MSP providing your IT services, you can easily scale your infrastructure with your business’s growth. MSPs host their own large servers, so it’s easy for them to adapt to your fluctuating needs.

Robust Disaster Recovery

MSPs can alleviate the stress of experiencing data loss or corruption. Managed IT services back up your information across multiple data centers, so even if your system crashes and you lose a significant amount of data, it can be safely recovered from another location.

Access to IT Experts

When you outsource your IT support, you gain immediate access to experts in the industry. Whether you need software development or infrastructure management, they can provide you with all the resources you need to keep your services running smoothly.

Ability To Focus on Business Development

Contracting an external IT service provider lets you spend more time focusing on your core business and less time dealing with IT issues. In the long term, this allows you to be more innovative and efficient, since you won’t have to deal with downtime or overflow yourself.

Turn to a Trusted IT Support Service

Whether you’re looking to cut costs or simply spend more time focusing on your business, outsourced IT support can be your solution. With its myriad benefits, it’s no wonder that more and more businesses have turned to outsourcing companies for their IT infrastructure services.

At Upfront Computer Solutions, we provide a wide range of managed IT services, such as server maintenance and support, network security, disaster recovery, and even cloud migration. Contact us today to find out if outsourced IT support is right for your business.
