Have you managed to avoid hackers and natural disasters shutting down your business’s network? What would you do if your luck ran out? We don’t want to fearmonger, but dozens of businesses don’t know about the importance of business continuity – the ability to bounce back from a disaster, hardware failure, or cyber-attack.
Managed IT services can provide huge benefits to your business continuity in as little as a few weeks. We take the bulk of these concerns and struggles off your hands and allow you to enjoy an easier, more stress-free workday. Let’s talk about how our IT solutions can help you have more peace of mind – let us focus on what we do best so that you can do the same.
Proactive Monitoring and Maintenance
Business continuity is all about the long-term benefits, and managed IT services are all about providing consistent and proactive care for critical business network systems. Proactive monitoring and maintenance are essential to saving money and protecting your business.
When an IT management company like us talks about ‘proactive monitoring,’ we mean that we regularly update your system to guard against the latest hacks and viruses. We consistently review and examine your networks and apps for potential issues and fix what we find! Maintenance is critical, keeping your system from slowing down and causing problems as it ages. This helps your business continuity by keeping a clean network that won’t struggle with backups or recovery.
Enhanced Security
Proactive monitoring of your systems can provide ample security benefits as well. You can have hundreds of vulnerabilities when you have a large network of interacting software and applications. The more moving parts in a system, the more points of failure hackers can exploit!
Proactive monitoring is one part of the security benefits you will experience, but the other is simply the experience and knowledge that you will have access to. A managed services provider (MSP) is used to keep track of large systems. It’s our business, after all! This experience and knowledge come out in multi-layered security solutions that employ more robust security systems and employee training, giving your team agency and knowledge to help everyone stay safe.
Data Backup and Recovery
Managed IT has several data backup and recovery options that will make sure that you don’t have to be afraid of falling behind your competitors if your network goes down due to hackers or natural disasters:
- Cloud Backup Services: An offsite solution that automatically takes your data and secures copies in cloud storage. This protects against local incidents by keeping backups out of harm’s way and provides easy scalability, thanks to the fact that cloud storage has far more infrastructure than a local business.
- Hybrid Backup Solutions: By combining local storage, such as hard drives and servers, with high-speed local backups, you can have the best of both worlds. Plus, you will enjoy the additional security and peace of mind that cloud backups can offer.
Managed IT recovery plans can leverage your backups in a variety of manners, ensuring that your business never experiences the long-term downtime that can wipe out your savings and potentially shutter your company.
Scalability and Flexibility
When you think about your business’s growth opportunities, you also think about what’s holding you back. The number one limiting factor of business growth is technological limitations – computers, IT teams, networking equipment, and software are all expensive. But what if you had a way to access high-quality and large-scale infrastructure without the cost?
Managed IT services can fill in those painful gaps as we find apps and software that can give you the tools you need to grow without pain. Many businesses struggle to find their foothold as they step from small business to mid-sized – or even larger! When you are less reliant on physical technology and systems, you can grow without fear!
24/7 Technical Support
Have you ever gotten a late-night phone call telling you your network is down? This immediately ruins your night and can bleed into a bad next day – especially when you’re stuck waiting on a technical support officer to pick up the phone and get to work. With a managed IT partnership, the responsibility of technical support is given to a team of experts who can have a member on call no matter when you need it.
On-call technical support rarely fits into a normal business structure, but having 24/7 tech support through managed IT is an easy choice! You can have dozens of support structures in place at a fraction of the cost of a full IT department.
Compliance and Regulations
Compliance and regulations are critical to keeping your business continuity if you work as a federal or medical contractor. If you experience a lapse of network security, hackers could get away with your personal information – and that of your clients or customers. When the standards of your business are high, keeping your network security up to snuff is essential.
A business like ours regularly works with the many regulatory bodies that you might find yourself working alongside. We stay up-to-date on critical regulation changes, and can quickly make changes to adhere to your most important compliance needs, all thanks to our experience, knowledge, and training in critical regulatory concepts.
