Benefits Of Managed IT Services For Small Business

Benefits of managed IT services for small businesses

IT management services are nothing but insurance for business continuity. Which means all your critical business information and records are managed and monitored 24/7. It also means transferring your day-to-day related IT management responsibility as a strategic method to ensure that all your systems are running as efficiently as possible with little or no downtime.

Also, with IT management services you save money. Here’s how: an IT failure, whether in hardware, software, or labour – costs your employees and resources downtime and the additional expenses to hire help.

Business Computer Problems ?

Computer problems are always annoying but if you use your computer for business it can be crippling. Computer issues for small and home based businesses can mean hours or even days of lost productivity. Sign-up for our PC Protection and Monitoring service to reduce your risk of lost productivity.

What does PC Proactive Monitoring do ?

Our PC Protection and Monitoring service will keep you protected from security threats by making sure your computer receives critical patches and updates for Windows as well as Java, Adobe, Firefox, Chrome and others. The service also includes a fully managed anti-virus program that will alert us in the event that it’s not up to date, not running or if it’s quarantined a threat.

We will also monitor your machine 24/7 to ensure that all of your critical systems, services and hardware are running properly. In the event of any issues we’ll receive an alert so that we can contact you and resolve the issues before they become expensive repairs or result in lost productivity.

Why You Need Managed IT Services ?

Computer problems can be costly to repair but the downtime can often be even more costly. PC Protection and Monitoring will benefit your small or home based business by reducing the potential for downtime due to computer problems as well as the downtime caused by regular maintenance such as updates and virus scans. Your computer will be ready to work whenever you are.

One of the major advantages that an in-house IT department provides is full management of all IT equipment.  This includes; automated system and software updates, system inventory, monitoring of machines as well as the overall health of the machine.
