Sometimes we field questions from potential clients asking us about billing and the value they might receive from working with us. They might look at the proposed service plan and think, “My buddy’s IT guy only charges him when things break, and his bill is way lower than this. Why is managed IT more expensive?” It’s a fair question, but to answer it, we have to look at it through a more holistic lens.

Want to run a business without technology? You’re in the wrong line of work; technology is so deeply ingrained in business that it’s not going anywhere. From your communication platform to your point-of-sale software, you need technology, and where there’s technology, there will inevitably be a need for technicians.

With technology being such a crucial element of many businesses and their operations, it only stands to reason that it ultimately pays to invest in and maintain it. That said, many businesses lack the resources in one way or another to properly manage their IT independently.

In these cases, it pays to outsource some or all of your IT support, and for various reasons. Let’s go over three of the major benefits to be had.

Picture this: you or a team member encounters a technology issue in the middle of the workday. Simple, you might think… just call your in-house IT department. However, the members of your IT team are visibly overworked, scurrying around the office, trying to get some of the tasks off their to-do lists. They’re visibly running out of time, patience, or, most likely, both. It isn’t a good time to bother someone for help; that’s obvious, but what option is there?

It’s an unfortunate fact that cybercriminals are motivated to attack places that contain large volumes of sensitive data, but typically lack the budget or in-house skills to sufficiently protect it. It’s even more unfortunate that this description directly applies to many schools and school systems.

Let’s talk about what schools have to offer cybercriminals, and what they need to do as a result.

I was thinking about a funny tech support issue I ran into many years ago, and thought it would be fun to share it with everyone. All names have been changed to protect the innocent.
