Co-Managed IT Can Get Difficult Projects Off the Ground

by | Friday, October 5th, 2018

Your company is thriving and growing so fast that it is outpacing your current IT. You need to upgrade your systems, but your IT staff is always busy, making it extremely difficult to plan, implement, and support new IT initiatives successfully. When your organization is short on technology expertise and resources, outsourcing some part of your organization’s new technology initiatives can work to move your company forward.

Managed IT
Driving nearly every business decision is money. Since on staff IT professionals are incredibly costly, when an organization cuts their IT expenditures, they can save money. The problem becomes that they won’t always have the IT expertise needed to manage all the organization’s technology, let alone deploy and support any new technology that the organization would need to implement.

One way that organizations are getting the IT help they need is by outsourcing their management to a managed IT services provider (MSP). The MSP provides a lot of services at a fraction of the cost of that of an internal IT department. Not only will an MSP monitor and manage your computing network and infrastructure, but they will also promote the use of industry best practices that can reduce many of the technical issues your organization could potentially deal with. In this way, the MSP provides extraordinary value.

Co-Managed IT
For the organization that looks at their IT staff as essential personnel, you’d think that hiring an MSP would be an unnecessary cost. After all, an internal IT staff costs your organization a lot of capital as it is; but, you couldn’t ask for people who are more dedicated to your company’s IT. The problem is that many smaller businesses that choose to staff an IT administrator have issues deploying new IT solutions or completing higher-end projects.

With Compudata’s co-managed IT services, our technicians serve as a subsidy to get that IT initiative that you wanted to accomplish off the ground; or, we can handle all of your network and infrastructure management to ensure that your IT staff can have the situation they need to accomplish your organization’s goals.
