With answers for nearly every question merely a Google search away, many businesses have been lulled into believing that there is no need to have ongoing IT support in place. For many Wirral-based companies, it’s only when disaster strikes that the IT experts are called in to try and salvage the situation.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. There are several benefits to having ongoing IT support instead of only getting in help to put out the proverbial fires that occur from time to time.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled five of the best reasons to hire an IT support company.
1. Support Is Available 24/7
Ongoing IT support ensures your Wirral IT systems are looked after at any given moment. Our team will receive a real-time alert if anything happens in your system, which gives us the ability to investigate the problem and resolve it proactively.
Some of the main issues we solve include:
- Issues with the server/server failure
- Lack of available storage
- Slow/unstable Wi-Fi connections
- Issues with software programs
- Problems with operating systems
- Networking infrastructure issues
A server issue impacts your entire company’s ability to run smoothly (or at all) and can affect access to client data and critical information. Lack of available storage capacity in the short-term can slow your systems down and damage your productivity, and in the long-term can cause significant problems with data backups. Slow Wi-Fi is frustrating to deal with and also harms employee productivity.
Having ongoing IT support ensures that these problems are spotted and resolved proactively before they become debilitating company-wide issues.
2. Your Data Is Secure
Viruses and hackers have become incredibly sophisticated over the past few years – making data protection, antivirus, and security all the more vital. Data safety is an essential aspect that all Wirral companies need to offer their clients.
Corp Networking puts encryption in place to secure your client information and ensures email is securely hosted. Combined with our 24/7 monitoring, you can rest assured that your information is safe and that any issues which crop up will be dealt with swiftly and securely.
3. Wirral IT Support is Cost-Effective
Hiring in-house IT staff can wind up being very expensive for your company. Not only do they typically require large salaries, but the recruitment process takes time and can cost you large sums if you enlist the help of a specialist IT recruitment firm while hiring.
That’s without mentioning the fact that there will be long periods where there isn’t anything for them to do if you are a small or even a medium-sized company.
Ongoing IT support from a specialist company avoids that wasteful spending and provides all of the same benefits of hiring someone in-house. Here at Corp Networking, we provide you with experienced and knowledgeable personnel accredited in all the relevant IT skills you could possibly need.
Our team is flexible, reliable, and will work with your business to protect daily operations while IT maintenance work is carried out. In other words, you benefit from having an IT team permanently at your disposal without having to employ anyone full-time!
4. Compliance With Regulations
Hiring an IT support team ensures your company complies with any hardware, software, and data regulations. We stay up to date with all the latest legislation such as GDPR and the right to be forgotten, and take a proactive approach to ensure your business remains compliant.
We make sure that your business’s software licenses remain up to date and also assist with phasing out outdated programs while sourcing and implementing replacements and upgrades as and when required.
5. Maintenance and Upgrades Are Carried Out 24/7 In Real-Time
When providing your business with Wirral IT support, our team can build up an in-depth knowledge of your current IT systems and your requirements. Once we have a picture of your needs, we then get to work to ensure that all hardware, software, and data are protected.
We maintain your assets in real-time, allowing your business to stay ahead of mandatory upgrades and keeping your system up to secure from bad actors. Better still, when it comes time to buy new equipment or upgrade your infrastructure, you’ll benefit from our purchasing power to secure items at below market value.
