1. When You Aren’t Sure if Your IT
Staff is Going to Show Up Tomorrow
It happens.
People get sick, have
appointments, or even worse,
may have given their notice.
When these events begin
happening over and over again
in your IT department, the risk
to your business increases.
Downtime
will
increase
Revenue
will
decrease

It’s time to outsource IT.
Many companies look to outsource IT functions when there is not enough
money to hire more employees.

2. When Your CEO Decides
to Launch a New IT Initiative
Do you have a skills match?
You may find that your IT staff is
great at servicing entry level
helpdesk tickets. But they may
struggle with solving complex
problems and launching new
projects. Many IT experts love the
challenge of new project or
problem, but everyday password
and application issues bore them.

You could hire someone to fill either void. Yet, as skills increase or employee
engagement decreases, you may find yourself in the same situation again.

3. When You Cannot Consistently
Run Reports Every Morning
Downtime is bad.
Business leaders need information
to make decisions and manage.
Whether you can’t get into email,
the automated report didn’t run
last night, or the internet is down
(again), having to call IT every
morning is a waste of your, and
your leader’s, valuable time.

If minor (or major) issues continue to disrupt your systems, it’s time to find a way
to be proactive in taking care of IT problems.

4. When You Keep Running
Out of Disk Space
Are you planning on growing your
business?
As your business grows, so does the
data you need to run your business.
It could be customer or vendor
records, purchasing and invoices, or
backups of your valuable information.
Continuously expanding systems to
meet your business needs is costly
and takes time.

Having a network that allows for expandability saves time and money long term.
It also reduces the need for upfront capital expenditures.

5. When You Keep
Running Out of Money
Unplanned IT expenses are frustrating to any
business.
It could be updating equipment to handle new
and growing business needs. It could be losing an
IT employee and having to hire someone new at
a higher cost. Recovering from a data breach or
loss of data is becoming more frequent.
Also, if you are not documenting and managing
software assets, surprise upgrades or license
renewals could also hit the budget.

By including an outside IT partner in your plans, you are better able to document
and manage assets, prepare more realistic budgeting, and maintain a steady cost
month over month.
