Why choose a IT consultant? Simple, really, cost. For the Small business owner the need for technology is more and more prevalent and getting more sophisticated by the day.
Beyond advising and assisting in your companies technological needs, consultants offer professional, trained, and knowledgeable staff to help you implement new technology, or bring you up to compliance with your companies existing data structure.
They offer a variety of services to keep your IT infrastructure running smooth, whether it be scheduled maintenance or as needed assistance. These are just a few of the areas they have expertise in.
- Sever management, including AD
- Firewall security
- Advice/support in building business presence
- Design and Web design incl. SEO
- PC repair, and workstation support
- New service implementation
- Data recovery
- Disaster recovery and cloud services incl. NAS
- Mobile support
- Software upgrades and data migration
- Server sales and support
- Connectivity issues
- OS Migration, incl. server
IT Consulting firms can also offer assistance to companies with an existing IT presence. Why hire more staff when you only need help on a couple projects? Consultants are qualified and ready to help your IT department when they are inundated with heavy tasks, whether it be assisting with help desk or migrating data, a consulting firm that works well with others and can take the “stress” out of the big projects.
Data suggests that 60% of new businesses in 2014 had no online presence, and even higher had no projection for data management. 70% of these companies comprised the 80% failure of new businesses in the first year. The main reason most start ups don’t implement an IT strategy or have an online presence is money. But there is a truth to the old saying “it takes money to make money” and starting out with one foot in the grave is a sure way to fail.
