Surprises can be exciting, but one part of your business where you don\u2019t want them is in your IT. A server crash, a wireless connectivity outage, or a security threat can all create multiple surprise problems that you simply aren\u2019t ready to handle\u2014particularly in the realm of your wallet. Instead of spinning the wheel and gambling on your IT bill, you can instead treat your IT like a predictable utility cost, and it\u2019s all thanks to proactive managed IT services.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, is the former standard of break-fix IT really that bad? Yes. Yes, it is, and we\u2019ll prove it.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, small businesses have smaller budgets that don\u2019t allow them to take full advantage of IT services the way larger organizations can. They had to make do with break-fix IT, hoping that their technology wouldn\u2019t fail, then suffering the consequences when it did. The problem is that relying on break-fix IT in this way is expensive, and downtime is not something that you want to deal with in any<\/em> capacity if you can help it.<\/p>\n The break-fix IT provider is the only one in this situation that actually benefits from the break-fix IT arrangement. If your IT is working properly, the break-fix provider doesn\u2019t actually do anything, and by the time problems surface, much of the damage is already done. The break-fix IT provider is then summoned to the scene to help solve your problems\u2014problems that they have a financial incentive to let happen to your organization.<\/p>\n Managed services, however, are the exact opposite of this situation.<\/p>\n You can think of managed services as IT services plus insurance. Think about it this way\u2026 You pay your insurance company a predictable fee, which covers you against certain unpredictable risks. Managed IT is the same way. You pay a predictable, flat monthly fee to not only predict potential issues with your IT infrastructure, but to actively prevent these issues from escalating into more devastating consequences.<\/p>\n If your business wants to minimize the chances of something bad happening to its IT (and it will\u2014trust us, we\u2019ve seen it all), you want to work with a managed IT provider who can prevent these threats from impacting your business.<\/p>\n With our managed IT services, you can experience unlimited support, all-hours monitoring, remote maintenance, cybersecurity solutions, backup and disaster recovery, and even technology roadmaps and advice. You can\u2019t get that from a break-fix IT provider. That\u2019s because they profit from you not<\/em> having these services.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t rely on break-fix any longer\u2014contact us at (604) 513-9428 to find out what working with a real IT professional is like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Surprises can be exciting, but one part of your business where you don\u2019t want them is in your IT.
