As a general rule, necessity dictates when a business upgrades the technology, they use each day. Sometimes it is because the tech they have been using can no longer support their needs, and sometimes, the solutions that are utilized simply aren’t efficient enough to keep up with operations any longer. New technologies may be adopted as a means to increase productivity, while others may actually be required by government-mandated regulations.
Regardless of what instigated the change, such changes tend to require significant investments of both time and money. Both of these investments can also increase if those responsible within your company for managing your current IT solutions are already overworked and too strapped for time to properly consider the various improvements that you should be exploring. Have you considered the fact that most projects that are left in limbo for long periods of time tend to fail?
Neither your support needs, nor your improvement initiatives can really be postponed without some negative consequences.
In order to help your business to continue moving forward, a co-managed IT strategy fits the bill perfectly. This supplemental IT service from a managed service provider can help you procure the technology your company needs more efficiently in a way that is most cost-effective for you.
