The Best IT Technicians are the Ones You Don’t See

One of the best ways you can accomplish this is by outsourcing some of your IT support through a managed service provider. In essence, you’re taking your organization’s technology management responsibility and handing it off to professional technicians who eat, sleep, and breathe IT maintenance and management. Furthermore, a good IT service provider can perform much of this maintenance remotely without the distraction of an on-site visit.

Can you keep up with break-fix and monitoring your servers, firewalls, routers, switches, desktops, remote workstation, Internet, and Intranet? What about patching, or keeping antivirus, anti-malware up to date? What’s your plan for when something goes down?

Have you ever had an IT technician visit your office during a busy work day? Chances are that the disruption might have caused a little downslide in productivity for your employees. If so, it’s a good bet that the technician wasn’t able to be as productive, if he had to wait for an employee in the middle of finishing up a project. It’s certainly not ideal to have workers who are getting their workstations tinkered with just milling around, while others are trying to get work done. Consider how all of these disruptions could be prevented if your workstations could be serviced remotely without the need for an on-site visit.

Basically, the best IT technicians are the ones that you barely even notice. The reasoning? Your technology will run so well that your downtime will be minimal. Your assets will function so well that hardware problems, software hiccups, and other issues will be rare. The glitches that you do experience are easily resolved – remotely – with minimal disruption or cost to your organization in lost productivity, travel fees, or long waiting times.

The Walker Group wants you to know that you don’t have to suffer from dealing with break-fix IT that only responds to issues after they occur, rather than taking proactive measures to keep them from happening in the first place.
