IT Consulting Brings Loads of Benefits to Your Business

IT consulting is one of the most valuable skills you can bring into the fold for your business. Yet, many business owners are not privy to the details of how it works and why. Simply the act of talking to a professional about something can save you countless headaches along the way. Let’s discuss some of the ways your business benefits from a consultant.

Providing Information

A consulting service’s primary purpose is to provide you with expert information. To provide the best input possible, you will have to trust some organizational data to the consultant. Consultants will generally conduct surveys and ask you many questions in order to give you the most informed feedback they can. You can then use their external perspectives to make any adjustments to your infrastructure.

Solving Problems

If you’ve had your eye on the same problem for long enough, even an internal team can get flustered and give up if the solution isn’t found after so much of an investment. A fresh pair of knowledgeable eyes can work wonders to look at problems from a different perspective and, therefore, discover solutions that you least expect. Plus, if the problem is being caused by another problem, they can help to find that, too.

Diagnosing Inconsistencies

Businesses are notorious for not operating as effectively as they could be all the time, leading to operational inconsistencies which can hold them back. A consultant can help to identify what’s causing these inconsistencies and suggest ways to address them, like implementing a new technology solution or service.

Building Consensus

Your business has many employees, all of whom need to be on the same page about certain issues and policies. Technology can be a huge boon to address the above challenges, but only if it’s implemented appropriately and used by a team that is willing to learn how to use it. The kind of end-to-end continuity your business needs can be achieved through the advice of an IT consultant.

Which Approach Puts Your IT in a Better Position?

Technology management is one of the major issues that challenge small businesses. Do you know the various strengths and weaknesses of having an in-house IT department versus an outsourced IT provider? As a managed service provider ourselves, we’re in a unique position to help your business make an educated decision about the future of its IT management.

In-House IT Management
If your business is fortunate enough to have its own in-house IT department, you know what it to get the right people for the job you need to painstakingly assess all applicants. Since, your business’s in-house team will always be at your disposal, your technicians have to be chosen with the applicable know-how to mitigate the technology troubles your organization will most frequently come across.

On the other hand, small and medium-sized businesses are known to have some troubles, even when working with an in-house IT department. Training new team members can be tricky, time consuming, and expensive, especially if your business has complex technologies that need to have dedicated management. Once these technicians are trained to cover the bases your business technology demands, they will only get more expensive; so seeing a substantial return your investment may not be possible.

Managed/Outsourced IT
Outsourced IT provides one of the most sought after assets for a business: predictable technology costs. When you hire a managed service provider, your business will always be using maintained and monitored technology, where issues are solved remotely for a flat monthly fee. An MSP generally stays updated on the latest findings and technologies in the industry, making them more well-rounded technicians than those that are simply concerned with the workings of your business’ current technology. It’s actually much more affordable as well, as you’re only adding one payment to your budget compared to the multiple salaries that would be assaulting payroll for an internal IT department.

The only issue that you’ll encounter with a managed service provider is letting go of the reigns a bit and trusting someone else with control over your business’s IT. Therefore, trust is something that is absolutely crucial if you choose to outsource your IT management.

NuTech Services wants your business to benefit from outsourced IT solutions. To find out what we can do for you, reach out to us at 810.230.9455.

A Maintained Network Is Better For Business

It can be challenging and costly to maintain your business’ network system, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. A managed service provider can help your business achieve all of its technology-related goals, including regular network maintenance. You might be surprised by how many benefits proactive network maintenance can provide for your organization.

Less Support Needed
Maintenance is loosely defined as ensuring that something can continue to operate without any issues. Therefore, it makes sense that continued maintenance will allow your business to preserve functionality for your operational technology. Regular maintenance is practically necessary in order to keep issues from cropping up at inopportune times, and even further ruining operations with greater problems. You’ll need less support because, naturally, fewer problems will happen in the first place.

Monitoring Leads to Threat Detection
If you are monitoring a system for potential issues, you can detect issues before they can cause major problems. When you maintain technology, issues that can cause downtime can be detected before they even happen, which gives you time to resolve problems and prevent catastrophe. A perfect example of this is applying patches and security updates, as they can block issues easily, so long as you take a proactive approach to network maintenance.

Greater Decision-Making Abilities
An unstable network that is prone to failure makes it difficult to make important decisions, like how to implement new technology or components. After all, how can you make improvements on something if you don’t know what’s wrong in the first place? By taking proactive measures to prevent issues in the first place, you won’t have to make the difficult choice to overlook a vital flaw in preference to resolving another major, possibly more important flaw. Managed service providers can often resolve problems before they are even known or felt by your organization, and since most problems can be resolved without an on-site visit, you’ll save time and resources that are better spent elsewhere.
