Posted by Solutions Center on Fri, Sep 25, 2009
It‘s no secret that the economy is still floundering. It's also no secret that many businesses haven't been able to weather through these tough times. But if you're a small to midsized business owner, we'll let you in on a little secret: if you have an IT Department or if you pay an IT Service on break/fix basis, STOP!
Outsourcing IT will save you money and increase your efficiency!
Trigon Technology, located just outside of Philadelphia offers a complete range of IT Solutions and Services. If you live outside of the Philadelphia area, don't worry! There are plenty of quality IT Solutions Providers all over the country (none as good as we are, of course).
Whether you're located in our area, or anywhere in the United States, find out if your IT Service offers a Managed Services Program. A Managed Services Program, something Trigon particularly excels in, is proactive IT maintenance . If you're business is part of a managed service program, great! You are on the right track.
Anyway, with a proactive IT maintenance system, such as Trigon's PinnacleCare, your IT System will be proactively monitored. And although you'll have to pay a nominal fee each month, managed services will ultimately save you a lot of money, thousands actually, each year. Think of it this way, your IT Systems are essentially watched over and monitored on a nonstop basis, and any issues that may come up are taken care of before they can become a major problem. That way, you won't have to pay for the after-effects of problems and the restoration of a damaged IT System. So, if you're paying someone on a break/fix basis, do so no more.
If your organization already has an in-house IT Department, and you're not paying someone on a break/fix basis, a Managed Services Program is still the way to go. As much as you may like your IT Guy, face it, is paying another salary an efficient way to save money during this economic downturn? We can either work hand in hand with your current IT person, or if you so choose, we can replace his/her duties and guess what - we don't take vacations, sick days, or need you to pay for our health care. Essentially, outsourcing your IT care could cut your IT bill in half. Check out our PinnacleCare ROI Calculator to see how much money your organization could be saving!
Lastly, in terms of efficiency, just think of what you'll be able to with an IT System that has guaranteed uptime. With proactive monitoring, you're IT systems will always be working for you. Your people and organization as a whole will be able to stay effective and efficient on a consistent basis. That will not only help you drive profits, it'll be a sure sign of the ROI you're getting from your Managed Services Program.
So when looking for the right IT Solution for your organization, remember to look for a good Managed Services program.
