The Top 5 IT Trends That Will Stand Out in 2016

If a business is thinking about outsourcing their IT needs and decides to follow through with this plan, they will see both immediate and ongoing benefits from this decision. Because there are numerous benefits that go along with outsourcing IT to the right provider, we want to highlight the top five:
Easily Control IT Cost
Outsourcing is the easiest way to control IT costs. Trying to handle IT in-house comes with a lot of unexpected variables and almost always ends up costing more than projected. With outsourced IT, you’ll know the exact costs of specific IT investments before committing to them. The cost transparency provided by outsourcing empowers businesses to make the best IT decisions at different stages of growth.
 Professional Support You Can Count On
Trying to build an in-house IT department is a complicated and potentially risky task. It only takes one bad hire to compromise an entire IT department. For businesses that are just starting to look at IT, trying to figure out what qualities a new hire should possess can be next to impossible. Outsourcing eliminates this complexity. All you need to do is get client references from an outsourced provider and then speak to the references that are similar to the size of your business. This will allow you to easily confirm that the provider is able to handle all of your IT needs.
Save on Labor Costs
Not only does outsourcing put your IT needs in the hands of highly trained and experienced professionals, but the excellent work done by outsourced IT professionals costs significantly less than having a team in-house. The reduced costs of outsourced labor actually makes it possible for businesses to do more in terms of IT than they could afford in-house.
Increase Security and Reduce Risk
 Taking advantage of a managed IT service Contract is the best way for a business to dramatically increase their security and significantly reduce their risk of any type of digital breach. The importance of having an outsourced team that’s constantly monitoring for and taking proactive steps against digital threats can’t be emphasized enough.
 Focus on What Your Cincinnati Business Does Best
While IT can play a key role in helping a Cincinnati business grow and thrive, trying to deal with IT in-house can be a major distraction.

Add Value to Your Business by Consolidating into a Managed Service

With a Managed Service Agreement you don’t have to worry about handling your IT needs in-house. Instead, you can let Full Sky Technologies handle all your computer network, IT management and technical support needs. If you’re wondering whether or not this type of arrangement makes sense for your business, we want to cover five ways managed IT support can add value:
  1. You’ll Save Money
As a business, it’s vital to keep an eye on your bottom line. One of the reasons that managed IT solutions, often sell themselves is businesses can immediately calculate how much they’ll save. When compared to the cost of having one or more in-house IT employees, as well as the potential cost of not taking IT seriously, the savings offered by a managed option are very appealing.
  1. Focus on What Your Business Does Best
In order for a business to grow, it needs to have the right IT resources. However, that doesn’t mean you want to turn into a tech company. Trying to deal with IT needs in-house can become a huge distraction for a business. By handing this type of work over to knowledgeable professionals, you can stay focused on the things that your business does best.
  1. Benefit from Proactive Solutions
When you hire an IT service provider, they’re not going to wait around for something to go wrong. Instead, they’re going to take the necessary steps to ensure that your business is protected against a wide range of problems. Knowing that a dedicated team is working diligently on all of the IT needs for your business will provide you with peace of mind.
  1. Know Costs Ahead of Time
Cash flow is an issue that affects businesses of all sizes. What’s great about the straightforward pricing structure of IT is you don’t have to waste time guessing about price or being worried that you will get hit with unexpected charges. Instead, you’ll be able to negotiate an ongoing standard rate. Not having to deal with fluctuations in pricing is a big plus for businesses.
  1. Fast Responses When You Need It Most
While the managed team responsible for your IT support will work hard to keep things running smoothly at all times, there will still be situations where your business requires immediate IT help. Since those are the times when you want to know that help is available, it’s very reassuring to be able to enlist immediate and reliable help with a single phone call to your managed IT provider.
