FAQs
Answers to some of the questions we’re most frequently asked at Vertikal6.
A managed IT service provider offers services and solutions designed to optimize your organization’s technology infrastructure. MSPs typically offer IT outsourcing with fixed-fee pricing. 24×7 user support and network monitoring services are often included. This model favors a proactive approach to maintenance, security and problem-solving.
As organizations mature, they’ll eventually reach a stage where further growth requires optimizing their use of technology. Without ready access to information and collaboration tools, teams won’t be able to keep pace with competitors. To streamline operational processes and improve decision-making, employees will need to have the right data at their fingertips.
Building an in-house IT department is a complex and costly endeavor. Recruitment, training and integration demand ongoing investments of time and money. If your business has evolved to the point where downtime, outdated hardware or a lack of strategic technology planning has become burdensome but you lack the budget to hire full-time expertise, it’s time to consider outsourcing your IT.
When employees rely on technology to get their jobs done, issues like faulty hard drives, poor connectivity or unstable email platforms have the potential to derail productivity. Outsourcing your IT to the right managed service provider not only protects you from these risks – giving you IT systems that perform seamlessly – but also brings a future-focused vision to your IT strategy.
