All Managed Services Providers tout their IT expertise. They might say that it’s in their “wheelhouse.”
You hear that phrase everywhere these days, right? But have you wondered where it comes from?
It was originally a boating term, referring to the place that houses the wheel on a boat, command central.
SMBs who don’t outsource IT may still want to enhance their in-house IT support. Identifying technology solutions to boost workplace productivity, efficiency and innovation is a goal for businesses large and small. But IT is a big job, and SMBs typically can’t afford to have a large staff devoted to it.
It’s difficult to end business relationships, and changing IT providers is no exception. Though you may know that it’s time for a change, there may be extenuating factors that prevent you from acting. Perhaps you’ve invested a lot of time with your IT provider; they may have been with you since you started your business.
IT enables business expansion in ways unheard of in the past. Today, technology can be a key component in facilitating business growth. For example, it’s no longer necessary to incur large capital expense to streamline operations across multiple locations.
Deciding on the right IT Support for your business can be tricky. IT skills are not a core competency for most small- and medium-sized business owners, and these businesses rarely have technical pros on staff to gauge a candidate or company’s IT acumen.
What are the benefits of outsourcing IT projects? You might be surprised to learn that even companies with full-time, in-house IT staff sometimes choose to outsource specific projects. Perhaps it’s a large-scale undertaking with a short turnaround time that would simply be too taxing for the internal team to complete while performing their day-to-day jobs.
Relying on end-of-life technology carries substantial risks that can put your business model in jeopardy. In order to deliver reliable service to customers and ensure that their sensitive data is safe, you need technology that is up to the task. While waiting until the last minute to replace hardware and/or software may be viewed as a cost savings measure, technology that is unsupported and can’t be fixed in a timely manner should something go wrong could ultimately cost you more than you bargained for.

You know it’s not good for you, but somehow you can’t let go…of your relationship with old technology. As an example, many users feel that Windows XP was the high point in Windows Operating Systems. Despite it being over 17 years old and the target of widespread cyber-attacks, it remains an extremely popular OS.
One of our new clients is a leading formulator and manufacturer of beauty products with a legacy of innovation, quality and unrivaled service.
Many businesses resist outsourced IT services including family-owned businesses. Family-owned businesses constitute an important and dynamic part of our economy. Ranging from two-person partnerships to Fortune 500 companies, family businesses account for half the nation’s employment and half of the Gross National Product.
