Solving your qualified IT staff shortage

Companies today rely heavily on technology for success. From fast-loading websites and rapid return chat apps, to seamless connectivity for searching, running apps and hosting video conference calls, effective IT is critical for businesses. However, like other company resources, IT can experience issues that impact how your firm runs.

While larger firms might have an in-house team of qualified IT professionals, not every business has established such a team. As a result, there is often no one to turn to but the staff member with limited knowledge and experience. In some cases, issues are beyond them, and an emergency call-out is required to get systems up and running again at considerable expense.

Employing an in-house IT team

Unless you’re an IT expert, hiring an IT team to work onsite with the skills you need isn’t easy. What qualifications should they have, and what kind of experience do they require to work with you? IT issues don’t occur all the time, but a full time IT engineer requires annual pay, benefits and holidays regardless, which can eat into limited budgets.

Using remote support

A more cost-effective solution with many benefits is to outsource your IT needs. IT support allows you access to a wider knowledge pool that can solve problems fast.

More affordable than payroll staff, outsourcing lets you select as much or as little support as you need. Working proactively, managed IT support can also fix issues before they develop into bigger problems that impact your operation.
