Outsourced IT Makes Sense for Small and Medium Sized Businesses
Browsing through job listings, there are quite a few small and medium size businesses searching for the right person to be their “IT Dept”. They may be better off considering outsourcing IT Services instead. The long list of skills required, summed up with a minimum of 1 – 2 years’ experience required demonstrates a true lack of understanding on the part of the employer regarding the years of experience and education actually required to accumulate all of the necessary skills to manage IT. Many SMB owners are not IT professionals so it is understandable that they do not have a grasp on the complexities involved.
Outsourcing IT is More Cost Efficient Than Direct Hire for Small Business
An IT Specialist in Houston will cost approximately $67, 892 per year. Even with such a high expenditure for a specialist, this means all of the company’s important data can be controlled by one person and can put the company at risk if they leave or become malicious toward the organization. In addition, additional cost will add up due to necessary training and software. As Technology and Cyber Crime evolve, continuous training is required to stay abreast of changes. It is difficult for one trained professional to keep up. It takes a team to truly manage your IT infrastructure regardless of your company size. Outsourced IT is the perfect solution.
The experience, education and tools required to constantly respond to the rapidly changing threats to your company and client’s data involves more than a basic knowledge of operating systems and active directory. You could save money by hiring an IT employee with minimal experience and expect them to be able to run and secure your entire infrastructure. But this is setting them up to fail, as well as putting your company and clients at risk.
