Running a business in the modern age means you need to rely on a variety of different systems and software. There are no two ways about it! Whether it’s maintaining a website, communicating with clients, or arranging shipping, you are always likely to run into some form of technology in modern business. However, one of the areas which some businesses aren’t always prepared for is IT. How do you know that you’re making the most of the technology you have available? Could managed IT services help you run a tighter ship?

Managed IT services offer more than just everyday IT support. When you run a business that’s dependent on technology, you’re going to need some form of backup on side in case something goes wrong. What if you’re unsure how to set up an IT infrastructure? Are you sure you know how to budget for your networking essentials? Don’t worry – many people don’t. That’s why thousands of businesses turn to AAG for IT solutions and round the clock support.

Here are just a few great reasons why you might want to outsource your IT support when running a business from day to day.

Managed IT Services Help Cut Costs

Outsourcing your IT support means you’re saving money from all angles. Not only are you reducing costs in appointing employees to look after your systems on-site, you’re going to have expert advice to hand on what changes you may need to make to enhance your productivity. Rather than rely on guesswork, IT support can help you make the right technological decisions for both your staff’s needs as well as for your budget.

Managed IT services will help to cut the cost of money you might otherwise spend on unnecessary technology. What’s more, outsourcing IT support means you won’t have to account for an extra team in your office or on your floor. You simply pay a basic fee to an agency to handle your tech for you, and you get in touch with them when they’re needed. It’s a win-win scenario from a budgeting perspective.

Help When You Need It

One of the major issues of running IT solutions in house is the waiting times. If you have an IT team based in your own office, they are likely going to be hounded with all kinds of issues and queries. They are also likely to be overworked! Outsourcing IT support, meanwhile, gives you a hotline or email access to experts only as and when you need them. They are completely off-site, but never out of mind.

That means you can call an IT expert who will have remote access to your systems. AAG understands that time is money for all businesses. We know that the modern age demands solutions and answers around the clock, and that when a problem emerges, it needs to be resolved as soon as physically possible. There is simply no point wasting time sitting on a problem.

Professional Care and Support

Managed IT services and outsourced care teams have access to the best equipment and leading expertise. By running your own IT solutions, you’d need to fund your team’s own tools and software, and you may even need to supply a fair amount of the training. When you outsource to managed IT services off-site, you get instant access to a company who already has the best expertise and the best hardware to hand. AAG is always ready to hit the ground running.

An IT solutions firm based off-site needs to be ready to react to a variety of demands and concerns from various clients and companies. That’s why you can always rely on them for the best support available. Is it really worth risking anything less by setting up your own team? Probably not. An outsourced team will already be striving to be the best at what they do.

You’re Still in Control

Some business owners worry that outsourcing any form of their company elsewhere means that they lose serious control. This is never the case, at least not with AAG. An account manager will still work closely with you to support you on an IT package that’s tailored to your needs. We will work closely with you to learn more about what you need from managed IT, and how we can help you to meet your long-term goals. With that in mind, you can always trust us with any of your IT concerns.

If you’re struggling to make the most of your current IT support strategy, it makes sense to approach experts in the field who can help you behind the scenes.
