Managed IT Services for Small Business

Matthew Robertson • November 8, 2019

Small business owners deal with Internet security just like the large companies.

In fact, once your network has been hacked, it gets really hard to sleep at night. The problem is small business owners don’t have the same budget or manpower to overcome the issues an internal network requires. Especially, when the network climbs to have five to ten workstations on it.

Really, when you reach this many workstations you need a full time I.T. person on staff, but you don’t really have the budget for them. If you go looking to hire an I.T. specialist you’ll discover salaries of more than $45,000 a year. Let’s face it, you have the same risk as the big companies, but these kinds of wages just don’t fit your budget!

Is Managed IT Services Worth The Investment?

Here are five reasons why managed IT services are worth the investment. 
  1. Decreased Downtime
  2. Cost Savings
  3. Outsourced Expertise
  4. Employee Productivity
  5. Up to Date Technology
Simply put, you don’t know what you don’t know and what you don’t know can cripple or even bankrupt your business.

How Crazy Do You Become During Times of Lost Production?

Let me ask you, how crazy do you get during times of lost production, because your network crashes? If you have our team on-site regularly to run your network through a gauntlet of tests, which ensure your system is ready for the multiple types of cyberware attacks around the corner, would you sleep better? You’ll not be stressed because of downtime, right?

You May Have Already Been Compromised!

The real pain is if you have already been compromised and have not yet realized it. You’ve heard about ransomware and how handy hackers are at installing this kind of software. This stuff is just above the pay grade of most small business owners, but yet your network is still susceptible to all of it.

What Does A Crashed Network Cost In Real Dollars?

Crashed Network - Hacked

No matter what the real cost in dollars is, it is not worth it. Plus, you already may be realizing other costs trying to protect your network now. Small business IT budgets can consist of hardware, software, and network costs. In addition, you may have cloud solutions costs, labor, and maintenance, to name a few more. 


This is where outsourcing your network to a managed IT service provider like The Technology Center can really pay off in huge savings. We can help set a game plan to control this costs much more efficiently. Plus, your network is no longer your headache, but ours.
