What is Remote Managed IT?
IT services that are delivered and managed through software enabling remote access. Also known as network management, an IT service provider is able to access and manage your technology and network without being physically present. This allows businesses to have their very own IT department without having to staff additional employees. Outsourcing your IT like this provides reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient IT services. Oftentimes, remote managed IT workers are trained in the latest and most up-to-date IT practices. This is the reason that many IT workers choose to work for a managed service provider instead of an internal IT position. Besides remote IT, in-house internal IT presents an alternative IT service. We will discuss the differences below.
What are managed IT services?
Managed IT maintains and monitors your network. This prevents issues with your devices and network before anything affects your business. Your machines and network are automatically updated to the latest and most secure versions. Managed IT allows you to focus on your business goals without having to worry about your network and technology. Managed IT service providers are trained in the latest up-to-date security programs and IT practices. The internet and technology are always advancing. Due to this, IT experts are always ready to tackle your problems. The need for cybersecurity will continue to rise. A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds. Don’t become part of the growing statistic but instead, protect your organization. Remote-managed IT services allow you to utilize these preventative IT solutions.
What IT delivery system is right for you?
Pros and Cons of in-house IT:
In-house IT departments can have a more strategic view of the organization’s IT infrastructure. This is the case due to the IT staff having eyes on the situation and the organization. They are staffed inside the building and physically work with the machines and network. When an issue does arise, they can walk over to your workstation and begin diagnosing the problem. This solution may be best in a small local business environment with only about five to ten employees. However, an in-house IT solution proves to be more costly when compared to a remote-managed IT provider. In addition, an in-house setup requires a full IT infrastructure containing servers, backup hardware, and other infrastructure tools. This adds additional costs and setup time. A managed IT service provider handles all of these potential issues.
Pros and Cons of remote IT:
Less office space and overhead are required. Remote IT workers operate from their own offices or work from home . This saves a lot of money for your organization as you reduce costs associated with rent and utilities. Remote workers can also be accessed on call around the clock. This boosts productivity as your team always has access to IT services in the event of a problem. Employee downtime is also reduced as an IT expert can always be accessed. However, remote workers can be viewed as non-team members as they are not physically in the office. Employees may find it harder to connect with someone they don’t see on a daily basis. Some companies like to have team morale and interact with their co-workers. You can still do that with remote IT members but only in a virtual setting.
Office 365 for Business
Office 365 implementation is one of the many things that a remote-managed IT service provider can offer. The number one business suite from Microsoft boosts productivity and increases efficiency. It enables you to work on desktop, mobile, tablet, and even offline. This great feature allows you to collaborate with the entire team no matter where you work. Office 365 includes all the apps you know and love such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Additionally, SharePoint allows you to store all your files in one place. This cleans out your inbox as there is no need to send links via email. You can also set permissions which enables you to set exactly who can access specific documents. Has an important company file ever been damaged or lost? SharePoint has a version history so you can restore lost documents. Office 365 allows more collaboration and convenience when compared to Google’s business suite.
Microsoft Teams
Teams is the new phone system for the digital business environment. Microsoft teams eliminate phone service costs as it gives you a phone number. You can take a call on desktop or mobile with Teams’ voice calling capabilities. In addition, Teams integrates the rest of Office 365 so your team can collaborate with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint live during the call. You can also reach team members through text with Teams. It is your digital communication source for the modern business world. Teams’ allow you to text and call from your phone while still using your work number.
