This guy definately needs an IT Support Company or an IT Consultant
As a small business who doesn’t usually command the resources that our larger competitors with it support specialists on staff do, we are required to be multi talented, multi-taskers and wear multiple hats. In the small business, it is usually the owner, a key employee or a friend/family member that becomes the tech support guy.
The cost of hiring IT Support Companies and IT Consultants is usually an expense deferred as long as possible until the company finds that they’ve reached a barrier, such as their current tech support guy being unable to implement a technology or solve an issue, or until a major computer or network failure occurs. In the case of a failure, the owner finds themselves typing “it consulting pasadena” into a search engine and making phone calls. This article at InformationWeek reveals some advantages to hiring profession IT support, along with examples. The article suggests that an IT consultant will spend 55% of their time providing support and maintenance. The other 45% should be creative, innovative and constructive to advance your companies technical agility. Setting up, maintaining, servicing and repairing your computers and network can become a hindrance to the completion of an employees or owners tasks. When a small business hires an IT Support Specialist, they often find themselves wondering why they hadn’t hired an “IT Guy” sooner.
IT Consulting is on the rise. IT support companies and ”it consultants” are becoming more prolific, however, finding a good it support company or it consultant can be frustrating and expensive.
