Outsourcing IT Can Help Businesses Grow
Every business relies on technology to help them achieve their goals – from business applications to devices to the infrastructure that powers all of this. First and foremost, all of this technology needs to be set up and then it needs to work. If something goes wrong, they need it fixed A.S.A.P.
Designing, implementing, managing, and supporting IT solutions can become a huge burden for businesses that lack technical IT staff in-house. Finding the right technology in the first place can be a challenge, especially while keeping to a budget. Then this needs to be deployed with as little disruption as possible and users need to be trained and encouraged to adopt the new system.
Outsourcing these IT requirements gives you access to expertise and experience you don’t currently have in your business. But it’s also a great way to cut costs—as it’s much cheaper than a full-time job role—and it leaves you free to focus on what you do best: running your business.
The main benefits of IT outsourcing are:
- Gain invaluable IT expertise and experience
- Reduce IT costs
- Save time
- Reduce risks
- Free up employees to work on higher value work
Professional Services vs Managed Services
So, if IT outsourcing seems like the right choice for your business, the next question is whether you are going to opt for professional services or managed services. Let’s look at the main differences.
Professional IT Services
Professional IT services help businesses overcome specific challenges through a dedicated project, such as a cloud migration or the deployment of new hardware. This is a one-off project, but is often a comprehensive one—the scope can extend from planning and strategy through to design, implementation, adoption, training and can even involve future ongoing support.
At Worksighted we offer professional services for business that need immediate help for a specific pain point or problem, including planning strategically for your future growth. Find out more about our professional IT services.
