Should you outsource your IT support, or should you keep it in house? This might be a discussion you’ve had already, or it may be something you’re considering for the future as your business grows.

Whilst keeping things under your direct control does have advantages. Utilising the services of an outsourced IT provider can actually provide you, and your business with some productivity enhancing, cash saving benefits that can help take your business to the next level.

If you’re still unsure on how business IT outsourcing can benefit your business, we’ve made things a little easier with this quick rundown on the subject:

What is outsourced IT?

Firstly, it’s important to define outsourced IT services… outsourcing involves utilising the skills and expertise of an outsourced IT provider for some or all of their IT operations. This can include, but is not limited to, coordinating equipment and infrastructure, guiding procurement and managing a help desk.

Why do you need outsourced IT?

  • Reduced costs – to manage your IT in-house requires not only investment in infrastructure, but the people to run and maintain it. With an outsourced IT provider, these costs are eliminated.
  • You can stay focused – having to sort and oversee complex IT problems can be incredibly time consuming, especially if you don’t have the expertise to get to the root of the problem. By outsourcing your IT, you’re safe in the knowledge that any problems will be fixed efficiently, leaving you to focus on your current workload.
  • State of the art tech – outsourced IT companies make it their business to keep on top of the latest industry trends, updating their technology in line with this. Which means you get access to the most advanced IT infrastructure in the industry.
