WHY DOES YOUR COMPANY NEED AN IT PARTNER?
Many companies do not have a customized IT Department . They depend on each employee to take care of the safety and maintenance of their equipment. This is a clear problem for the organization, since in practice it is not done. It is logical that employees do not have enough time or knowledge for good equipment maintenance. The lack of an IT partner in your company can lead you to make mistakes. For example, you lack a computer contingency plan in the event of serious risks to the security of your data, such as a ransomware attack. tc bolts
In this article we would like to explain the advantages of
having an IT partner that provides maintenance, support and IT security.
What is an IT partner?
An IT partner is an external company that acts as your own
IT Department .
Instead of hiring different IT professionals to manage the
maintenance and security of the data in your company, you outsource this
service to an IT company.
The logical thing is that it is a company in your city. For
example, if you are in Madrid, you can find an IT partner in Madrid, or if you
are in Barcelona, outsource these services to a company in Barcelona.
Now, the reality is that distances have been shortened a lot
thanks to technology. Except for tasks that require the physical presence of a
computer technician, many computer problems can be solved remotely. Using tools
like Team Viewer, you can solve practically any need remotely and in a short
time, without the IT professional having to travel to your company.
Advantages of outsourcing maintenance to a partner
The outsourcing of computer maintenance is a matter of
costs. Keeping IT professionals in a small or medium-sized company is usually
unfeasible, since their activity is not directly related to the income obtained
by the company. It is a fixed cost that you must bear in order to keep your
infrastructure running.
This generates many difficulties, since your computing needs
are variable. At times you may need to expand services, hiring professionals
who have knowledge in server maintenance . But as the work accumulates, so do
the costs.
It is much better to have an outsourced service, with the
support and computer support of an experienced company, than to have to
maintain your own Department, whose costs can be much higher.
A partner therefore gives you much more flexibility, since
you can expand or reduce services depending on your needs. In addition, the
costs are much lower than having your own IT Department.
Your IT partner thus offers you a permanent service
depending on the infrastructure you manage, facilitating and streamlining your
processes.
Another of the great advantages are knowledge and
experience, since if you have employees dedicated to computer maintenance, you
will have to train them in those areas that they do not control. However, if
you choose a partner, they will take care of everything and thus have the
necessary experience to carry out the projects.
What can your IT partner do?
There are different IT services that can be outsourced,
which would help ease your cost structure. Let's see some of them.
Computer maintenance
The maintenance of the computer equipment of each workstation
and the maintenance of servers can be delegated to a computer company. Also
everything related to the installation of programs and fine-tuning of computer
systems.
Backups
Another area in which you can outsource services is
information security. You can hire as many TB as you need for the storage of
encrypted and automated backup copies , both of databases and of programs and
documents.
Informatic support
Any company may have IT support needs. For example, now that
telecommuting is spreading, it is very common for companies to need to
implement a VPN so that employees can access office computers safely, as if
they were right there.
Along these lines, knowing that you can go to your computer
company to solve any computer error or problem helps you save time.
Web design and maintenance
Today we know that companies are geared towards digital and
online sales. Having a partner to help you in this area, such as computer
maintenance of your website, will help you protect the security of your page.
If you have a website in WordPress, Prestashop, Joomla or
Magento , it is of great importance that you can have a web maintenance
service. Installing system updates, making backup copies or introducing new
plugins can be essential to protect your income and investment.
