“Your business is IT. It’s the computing platform. If you don’t put a value on that, you really don’t value your business.”

No matter what business you’re in, maintaining IT functionality is becoming a more and more of an essential component to smooth operations.

Unfortunately, small businesses and startups don’t always have the in-house expertise required to keep those services up and running. As a result, turning to a Managed Services Provider for technical guidance remains a cost-effective alternative to hiring a team of FTEs while still covering all of the bases. This guide book is intended to serve as a virtual consultation or an IT roadmap to set new and growing businesses in the right direction.

We’ll cover:

1. How to set up IT services at your new office including capacity planning, meet cyber security requirements, and prepare for network equipment lead time.
2. What to expect in terms of help desk outsourcing pricing models including Remote Monitoring and Management of all network and desktop devices and on-site support.
3. What to look for when evaluating potential Managed Service Providers in order to find the best fit for your organization.
4. How IT functions in an open co-working network environment and how to safeguard your business’s valuable data against intrusion.
5. Which consultative options are available and how to leverage third party technical expertise for specific projects.
