Harnessing the expertise of a team of IT professionals has so many advantages for your company. Streamlining the way that you do business, enhancing you and your colleagues' productivity, and keeping all of your company's vital information secure are some of the key benefits that you can enjoy with professionally managed services for your IT infrastructure.
Choose managed services for better productivity
More productive work has a huge, and usually very rapid, impact in the form of increased revenue for your business. Workers also tend to feel much happier and more satisfied with their job if they are being noticeably more productive. Think how much all of your projects are slowed down when employees with no professional, specialised IT training attempt to solve IT problems themselves. IT professionals will also work to ensure that your business is equipped with all of the latest software so that you can get things done as quickly as possible with the most high powered and user friendly programmes. Opting for IT support in Liverpool also means that you will have access to customer support. Thus, having IT professionals on hand also means that if your colleagues run into any issues (these could be as diverse as difficulty printing out a document to fears that a virus has been downloaded onto a compay device) they can access the very best quality support in real time. All of those problems will be sorted out in no time, and nobody will be bogged down trying to fix an uwieldy printer or eliminate that pesky Trojan virus for a whole afternoon when they could have been working more productively on other tasks.
Managed services are also the right choice for enhanced security
You would be amazed at how few of the employes of your company are not literate in basic IT security. And yet, almost all businesses deal with some type of sensitive information that needs to be kept secure in accordance with data protection laws, whether it is the company's financial records or a database of clients' names and addresses. A recent (2017) report by the tech commentator Barkly found that in 2016 alone 18 million new types of malware were developed and ransomware attacks increased 300% compared to the number of attacks in 2015. These are just two examples of cyber threats to your business: there are a whole wealth of other attacks that you need to be secured against, from data breaches caused by hackers who have tricked employees into giving away passwords and other details by phishing scams to DDOS attacks which can maliciously take your company's website offline and lose you several days' worth of revenue. Whilst it is eessential to educate all staff members in the necessities of IT security such as creating strong passwords and changing them regularly, it is also vital to have a team of IT professionals monitoring and updating your security systems. In this modern age of enhanced and unexpected threats to the security of your IT infrastructure, only professional help is enough. In addition, a dedicated IT team will be able to track and respond to threats to your data security in real time whilst your other colleagues can focus on getting other tasks done. Hacks and other malicious attacks can cost your company a lot of revenue as you recover lost data, find your business taken offline or your operations interrupted - and if you expose sensitive third party information it can also expose you to costly legal action. Thus, it is best to secure your systems properly.
