Why You Should Have Managed IT Services

For any business, having a robust IT infrastructure is high up on your wishlist of needs and wants. 

Having a state-of-the-art system will help your business scale services, improve security, and reach all operational goals. What’s not to want?

Unfortunately, for smaller and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), in-house services are a luxury that only bigger businesses can afford. This is where Managed IT services come into play. You can now have exceptional IT infrastructure at your fingertips, at a fraction of the cost and effort. 

Scaling affordably? Enhancing team collaboration? Improving cyber resilience? Round-the-clock assistance? We have it all covered at RedDoor IT. 

Read on to learn more about the benefits of using Managed IT Services.

Improve Your Security

The Problem

The truth about cybercrime is that anyone can become a target, and you can experience a cyberattack at any given moment. Without a security system in place, you feel like a sitting duck without the defences needed to stop them in their tracks.

Without the following, you may be in trouble: 

  • No tools to detect and survive cyberattacks.
  • No disaster recovery plan or backups leads to extended downtime.
  • No suitable scans to discover blind spots, which are often found when it’s too late.
  • Missing cybersecurity-related deadlines, such as the Cyber Essentials Certification for law-related businesses, can lead to an operational shutdown.

The Solution:

Instead of waiting for a breach to happen, Managed IT offers security tools like ‘IT Vulnerability Scans’ to identify weaknesses and solve them before they’re exploited. 

We also create disaster recovery and backup plans to prevent long downtimes. Meaning you will be back online before you know it. 

For law-related businesses, as an IASME-licensed Certification Body, we help you with your Cyber Essentials/Plus certificate before the October deadline, so that you remain compliant.

Efficiency Blockers

The Problem

Unmanaged systems create bottlenecks that affect performance. It holds your team back from performing efficient services, which can also contribute to a communication disconnect, thus affecting collaboration efforts.

The Solution

We streamline workflows to refocus energy on core tasks. We improve effective team collaboration through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and cloud services. Quick and clear communication improves operational efficiency.

High Cost Concerns

The Problem

You want to save money where you can, so you decide to cut out Managed IT services, but this can be more expensive in the long run. Without these services, you’ll have to handle technical issues on your own, instead of focusing on growth and service delivery. 

When you remove professionals from operational efficiency duties, you can expect higher expenses and fewer savings.

The Solution

Contrary to popular belief, outsourcing is not too expensive and can help cut long-term costs. We offer flexible packages aligned to your business’s needs, reducing unpredictable bills and repair costs. You will also be able to grow your business confidently, rather than wasting money on unnecessary infrastructure or taking on issues professionals can easily solve.

Uncertainty about the Future

The Problem

Technology keeps improving, and if you don’t keep up or are afraid of it, your business will be left behind. Forgetting about end-of-life software and running outdated systems can create security risks. To stay updated with industry needs, you need access to real experts who can help troubleshoot problems within minutes.

The Solution

With RedDoor Managed IT handling your critical transitions, your business will stay ahead of the curve. Our team of 24/7 experts can help you solve your query within minutes of a request.  

New technology, like AI, can seem scary, but we aren’t afraid of integration and change, especially when they are needed. This way, both of our operations improve and stay ahead of the curve. Ultimately, we both stay relevant in our respective industries.

What to look for when choosing a Managed IT service provider?

Now that we know why you need Managed IT services, you need to know how to choose the right provider.

  • You don’t want unexpected budget changes; some providers have unclear or complex pricing that affects the bottom line. You should look for providers with fixed pricing and flexible packages. 
  • Managed IT is meant to take the work off your hands; however, you must be wary of providers who make you feel like you aren’t in control, especially when it comes to strategic decision-making.  
  • If your provider isn’t working out for you, you need to change them. Make sure your operations aren’t dependent on a provider, as it can make migration harder. 
  • Your provider must have a suitable communications structure to prevent delays in support requests. Delayed support can delay your operations.  
  • When working with providers, be aware of third-party access to sensitive data. Your data in the wrong hands can increase security vulnerabilities. 
  • Ensure that your provider can integrate with specialised or complex workflows, it can hold back your operations.
