Reasons Your Business Needs IT Support

Many companies do not have IT support. They wait until there’s an issue, then call the IT experts to fix the issue for them. Your business may gain in many ways from regular rather than an ad-hoc IT assistance.

Below are the five main reasons:

1.) 24/7 Maintenance

If you are able to enjoy ongoing support for your IT system, you’ll feel secure knowing you know that the systems of your computer are monitored for 24 hours a day seven days a week all year round. Our team is alerted in real time whenever something is wrong with your systems , which means that we are able to look into the issue and have the issue resolved swiftly for you. This includes:

Server problems or failure
insufficient storage
slow internet

This is important since server issues can affect the overall operation of your company, including access to client information and crucial information. Insufficient storage unnot detected could cause issues with backups and slow down your systems slowing down your company’s performance. A major and irritating problems that your team faces could be slow WiFi that could affect productivity.

It is essential that all issues are analyzed and resolved promptly to ensure your business is functioning well and effectively. If you depend on ad-hoc IT assistance to solve any issues , they are addressed only when they are deemed to be serious issues; the moment when people begin to be aware of these issues. When this happens you’ll need to make arrangements for the issue to be addressed and fixed that may impact your business, while waiting for it to occur.

2) Secure data

3) Cost-effective

Employing an IT team internally can be costly. The salaries of IT professionals are usually high in their field, so bringing people in can be costly. Interviewing and hiring can be lengthy and costly so you’ll need to engage a specialist IT recruiting firm to ensure that you hire the right candidate or be sure that you possess the expertise to evaluate the experience and abilities of the candidate.

4.) GDPR compliance

It is likely that you have been informed about the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will be in force from May 2018. In fact we’ve written an informative article on it here. The new regulation will bring modifications to the manner companies use and store customer data as well as protecting it from viruses and hackers.

The IT support team of your company will ensure that you are in compliance with rules from a system perspective as well as the compliance of any regulations pertaining to hardware and software.

If you are only getting an ad-hoc IT support, then you’ll must keep track of any laws and compliance updates yourself. You may call in contractors whenever you need to make adjustments but this may take a while since they’ll have to look over your system to make any upgrades or updates. an IT support team will already be familiar with the software and hardware you use for your IT and understand exactly what is required immediately.
