Are you in the early stage of your business? That means you are opening a new office, hiring new employees, buying new hardware and implementing new workstations and servers. Also, you can't build an in-house IT team at this stage.  Given that the job probably requires you to plug in a few technology devices and hook up a few cables and start running your business on technology and take provisions for security. Isn’t that something you could do on your own without the help of an IT vendor? 

The short answer is that you probably could but may not be a good idea to do so. Technology installations and management aren’t always as simple as people tend to think. You would need a professional IT consultant and support provider to take care of this job for a smooth and faster execution with fewer problems.  

Whether you simply want to stop dealing with hardware and software decision, make better IT budgeting and protect your business data or just need some devices and software without purchasing them, a managed IT service provider should be your first call. 

Why make IT harder than it has to be? IT outsourcing is essential at the initial stages of your company for the following reasons: 

1. Data security:  

You may need to spend enough to store and protect your most vital data. As a start-up, you can use the secured storage data centers of your IT partners instead. Also outsourcing your cyber security and IT compliance is a great way to save money and time. 

2. Employees:  

 You need to spend on hiring employees to work on your products and delivery and not on IT infrastructure. Still, IT infrastructure can be accessed from a managed service provider.  

3. Technical Expertise: 

While running your business, you will need talented IT specialists with a broad range of skills and experience to look after your technology which would be expensive. By outsourcing your IT, you will get the required expertise at an affordable cost. 

4. Avoid Sunken Cost: 

As your storage and end-user demands grow, it makes sense to use technology services rather than spending your valuable capital in purchasing technology. You can pay for what you use rather than invest in software and hardware by using managed IT services and you don’t have to worry about maintaining, upgrading and replacing them.

  5. Time: 

You don’t have to waste your time researching on,upgrading and maintaining IT requirements. Get experts guide you through, do your network connectivity & security, backup& disaster recovery, database administration and more by outsourcing.  

6. Lower IT Cost: 

Outsourcing IT will reduce your capital costs and operating budgets. 

7. Data backup:  

In the eventuality of a disaster or a sheer bad fate, there is a chance to lose vital files or other data. Fixating to do all things in-house can sometimes prove to be fatal. It is always better to avoid this risk by outsourcing to a IT provider who is capable of strategizing and do the backup & recovery of your data.
