Why Outsource?
Let's be honest, IT has traditionally been seen as a cost centre for small and medium-sized business fighting to maximise their profits.
If you're a small business, the chances are that you can't afford to employ a full-time IT manager to plan your technology needs, buy and configure hardware and networks, keep an eye on developments like internet-enabled phones and services - and be there for you when things go wrong. Often the responsibility for IT falls by default to the owner or one of your staff. But is this really the most efficient and productive use of your time?
If you're a larger business (whether expanding or contracting) you may need comprehensive IT help but are understandably reluctant to have a large, non-fee earning salary on the payroll. This is especially true in the current economic climate where the ability to be flexible and travel light is essential.
What small businesses really need is a virtual IT manager, especially if your workforce isn't under one roof. Whatever your situation, outsourcing to an experienced and proven provider like Ingenious could be the solution.
