Computers Technology – Why Use IT Managed Services?
Short answer is because it’s cheaper than the other options. Longer answer because it’s cheaper and your IT systems are looked after by a team of professionals who do this day in and day out. Still not convinced? Let’s take an example. Company ‘A’ has 1 Small Business Server running File & Print and Exchange, 24 machines (some desktops, some laptops), 3 printers and some Blackberries.
What does company ‘A’ need to provide first class IT management for its systems and staff?
A single point of contact for all IT issues (help desk), 24*7 monitoring and alerts, vendor management, on-site hardware support, system administration (password resets, user account creation etc), change management, reporting and root cause analysis, research into new technologies that are relevant to what company ‘A’ does, Service Level Agreements, software/application support, backups, Printer Admin, Network Management, Server Management, Desktop Support, remote access, regular incident analysis, discounted hardware and software? The list goes on and on.
So what can company ‘A’ do?
Firstly, you can delete the useless files in the system route. Many users are not so familiar with such maintaining method, but it is one of the crucial factors that affect your system performance. As is known to all, when installing applications in the Windows, it may usually copy many files from system folder in the Windows installing route. And you uninstall such applications, some of these files are restored. As time goes by, such left files are accumulation day after day, it can hinder the running speed obviously.
Use an IT Company. When you have a problem pay them by the hour to come in and fix it.
The IT company will only get paid when you have problems. Does this encourage them to fix the root cause? Are they preventing problems before they occur? NO! You may find you let your IT systems degrade and when you find it impacts your business you have to pay for a quick fix. Don’t forget you’re not just paying the engineer. You are losing money as your employees can’t function at full capacity when their systems aren’t working. In fact you could be paying twice as much when you have a problem.
And for all this money you get break/fix support. What about all the things we mentioned? You really need to have proper IT management. Are you going to pay by the hour for all them as well? It’s difficult to put a price on what this is going to cost over a year, and that makes budget time rather difficult.
To prevent windows versioning problems and windows operating system problems, it is important for users to keep their software genuine. Counterfeit installers are usually full of errors which will cause more problems through constant repair and re-installation. The OS installed on counterfeit software also cannot download important updates from Microsoft (the maker of Windows) which can help the PC run faster and safer.
It is also important to keep the PC clean – this entails not just literally wiping and sanitizing the hardware, but also deleting unnecessary programs and files, defragmenting the drive regularly, getting the strongest anti-virus and anti-spyware program, and lessening the use of applications that put the computer at high risk of receiving viruses (such as messenger clients, downloading files, and the like). If you are not technically minded you can always use a good registry cleaners to do it all for you. There are some good and reliable registry cleaners available online, ready for immediate download and able to scan and repair your PC at an instant
