The Managed IT Difference

The best way to get back to what you do best

Strategic business leaders view their IT as vital to their work. Technology is not just another overhead cost. It’s a valuable part of crafting the product or service you deliver to your customers. Managing it carefully is worth the investment. However, you can’t afford to manage it yourself, because you have to focus on what you do best. Lead your business.

The Managed IT Difference

The best way to take your time back from your IT 

Strategic business leaders view their IT as a growth driver, not a cost center. IT is not just something you put up with. It’s a valuable part of crafting the product or service you deliver to your customers. It’s worth the investment to carefully manage it; however, you can’t afford to manage it yourself.

There’s more than one way to do IT 

The good news is you have options. On the other hand, it can be quite a rabbit hole to navigate. Here’s how we see it.

The good news is you have options. On the other hand, it can be quite a rabbit hole to navigate. Here’s how we see it. 

Option one

Hire an in-house IT expert 

When you have someone on staff, you have plenty of leverage to hold them accountable to your business. They also know your business inside-and-out, which can be both valuable and risky if they were to leave and take that knowledge with them.

Option two

Partner with a traditional ‘by-the-hour’ consulting firm

Alternatively, you can hire a firm on a project-by-project basis. A firm will have a bench of knowledge experts far deeper than what you could hire in-house. However, they don’t get brought to the table until something is already broken. It is a reactive approach to IT that can make your overall IT experience frustrating.

The Managed IT way

Imagine having a team of IT experts motivated to ensure your IT works  

The project-based approach to IT is antiquated. Your IT is too important to how you do business. You can’t wait for someone to show up to fix it. The managed services approach is designed to take the unpredictability out of IT. It is strategic. Aligned with your greater business goals. Proactive. Consistent. And budgeted.

Accountable

In IT for the win-win 

Accountability is built into the managed services business model. A win for you (IT that works) is a win for us (less strain on our support desk). In fact, because we operate off a flat monthly fee, we only keep our lights on if we keep your IT up and running. We put in a lot of work upfront and behind the scenes to ensure your team rarely has to reach out to our support desk.  

Experienced

100+ years of combined expertise for the price of one

Cybersecurity. Microsoft 365. System migration. Backup and recovery. With a managed services team, all of those skill sets are at your business’s fingertips. And when you look at the numbers, most managed services contracts are competitive with the salary of a single in-house IT expert.  

Proactive

Always one step ahead of your IT

 managed services approach is forward-looking, allowing you to stay ahead of the curve on security, software, and systems changes. The result is fewer day-to-day issues and budgetary surprises. By keeping an eye on the future, you can keep a closer eye on your investment in your technology.
