These Are the Technology Services Your Small Business Needs

A business with only 50 computers still has a great deal of complexity. Your business may benefit more than you realize from working with an external technology provider.  

Giving up even a small portion of control can be difficult, especially when it comes to finding the right IT solutions partner for your business. While you may struggle with the decision, thousands of small to mid-size businesses with 10-50 computers to support are finding the task next-to-impossible without having a technology services partner on call at all times. IT systems are increasingly complex and cybersecurity risk factors continue to grow over time. Keeping your business running smoothly and efficiently requires having access to high-quality services that will support ongoing business growth and stability.

In-House or Outsource: How to Decide

There may be specific functions that you want to retain internally, such as researching new technology platforms or managing your WiFi network. There have been dramatic changes in the technology industry in only the past few years, and your team needs to stay up-to-date on the latest security, privacy and compliance data to keep your business safe. Many businesses find that outsourcing their base infrastructure allows internal teams the space to innovate and bring new ideas to the table, something that is challenging when you’re being bombarded with requests from users.

One way businesses decide whether to manage specific aspects of technology internally or to outsource them is to strategically look at the staffing levels within the business. If you have the trained, qualified support staff available to manage all of your technology internally, this may be the best option for your business. However, most businesses that there’s a mismatch either in skill level and knowledge, strategic focus or time-management that will require outsourcing some or all of your technology support needs to a partner organization.

Tapping Into New Technology

One of the key reasons for working with a managed services partner is the ability to tap into new technology. Canadian organizations are actively looking at advanced solutions such as AI, but a recent Forbes Insights report shared by CIO Association of Canada notes that business leaders are struggling to define the strategy, find the skills and identify use cases for advanced tech. While businesses are clear that this type of future-reaching technology is vital to their business growth, getting started can be more than a challenge — it’s a near impossibility for businesses that are still scratching their heads over cybersecurity and business infrastructure.
