Most small and medium sized businesses will have a moment in their growth when they can’t handle their IT operations themselves anymore and need to bring in support.
But should they have an in-house IT team or outsource the work? Which is better and more cost effective?
Well, we are a little biased, having given outsourced IT support for over 20 years!
Here are some reasons for opting for outsourced help…
A key one for any small to medium sized businesses is cost savings.
Outsourcing IT support offers a cost-efficient alternative to maintaining an in-house team. With outsourcing, you pay for the specific services you need, avoiding the fixed costs associated with hiring full-time IT staff, such as salaries, benefits, training, and office space.
IT is a vast field, covering areas like cybersecurity, network management, software development, and more. Outsourcing your IT means you have a team of experts, instead of just one.
This ensures that your business benefits from the latest industry insights and best practices. It means you have less staff to manage too.
An outsourced IT team will be flexible to your needs, so if you need to scale up or if have a big project come in that needs technical assistance, your IT provider can mould their services to your team, compared to having a limited in-house team.
Cybersecurity is a key issue for businesses. Outsourcing IT support means gaining access to professionals who specialise in cybersecurity measures. These experts can implement robust security protocols, conduct regular audits, and ensure that your business complies with industry regulations.
Outsourcing IT support saves you money, streamlines your operations, and gives you access to experts who are flexible to your needs.
