For small to mid-sized businesses with a potential for rapid growth, partnering with a provider of IT as a Service(ITaaS) may yield substantial benefits.
ItaaS is a pay-as-you-go, highly scalable option to satisfy all of your organization's IT requirements and allowing managers to focus on what is important - serving your customers and growing your business.
For businesses with a limited (or no) IT staff on the payroll, certain responsibilities can shift management's focus away from expanding the company or providing quality customer service. These tasks include evaluating, procuring, and maintaining IT resources while addressing information security, compliance, business continuity and technology-related issues. By addressing these issues internally, those businesses lose opportunities for growth in their core business and, possibly, do not effectively deal with the required tasks.
ServerConsultant, as a provider of information technology as a service (ITaaS), can deliver, maintain and monitor the technology assets and capabilities an organization requires on an as-needed basis for a set fee. Companies get exactly what they need when they need it — with support included — while allowing managers to focus on other essential aspects of the business. ITaaS can eliminate or reduce the need for IT personnel on the company payroll. Therefore, the company can spread costs associated with hardware procurement, software licensing, and maintenance over the term of the agreement instead of incurring significant lump-sum costs.
We work to build a scalable plan to meet each client’s specific technology needs over time on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Successful businesses sustain growth for greater profitability. However, as they undergo expansion, their IT networks must adapt accordingly. Swapping out older on-site servers and other equipment to make room for newer or higher-powered hardware is no longer the norm for a network expansion. Instead, ServerConsultant, as an infrastructure provider, adds necessary server space and assists with the scalability of business applications as a cost-effective and flexible solution. This is more efficient than installing additional hardware at the company's premises. Our clients benefit significantly from the scalability of the provided services.
If ServerConsultant maintains, monitors, and services an organization’s on-site data center, we can respond to an unexpected rapid increase in data storage requirements that exceeds the capacity of the company's on-site systems. We could quickly provision additional storage-as-a-service resources — perhaps using cloud-based systems — to temporarily meet the new demands.
An example could be a company involved in a lawsuit where that organization must retain large amounts of backup data related to a case until a suit is settled.
Additionally, as aServerConsultant client, you share the cost of our team of highly skilled specialists, who provide 24/7 monitoring and support of our clients' environments. The current shortage of trained IT specialists is expected to continue and to worsen in the foreseeable future. Companies may be unable to find skilled personnel to staff their in-house IT departments, and they may be forced to pay unexpectedly high salaries for hiring those employees. Not only does partnering with us allow you to take advantage of the skillsets offered by our employees, but you share the costs of doing so with other clients.
Data breaches are financially catastrophic to organizations; therefore, data security is a number one priority for IT solutions. Any data stored in a centralized location is protected by enhanced security measures, which are configured to meet the company's needs. Laptops and storage devices with valuable data can be lost or stolen and can present a security nightmare. If your company moves to a cloud-based solution provided by ServerConsultant, there are fewer security concerns because all company information is centrally located in a secured environment.
Businesses cannot afford data losses from outdated or corrupted backups. With data and applications centrally located in the cloud, file backup and restore procedures are efficiently handled by the provider. Data backups are done on a timetable that is suitable for the company. ServerConsultant provides geo-redundant backups across multiple hubs in disparate locations. This ensures that an up-to-date backup is always available. If a catastrophic event affects one backup location, the data is available from an alternate site.
Implementing software and firmware upgrades to on-site systems can be time-consuming and expensive tasks. Often, any staff doing upgrades encounter unforeseen technical issues, which further complicate this. However, ServerConsultant would be responsible for keeping systems current with essential upgrades as they are released. Our technical experts would quickly resolve any issues encountered during the upgrade process..
With ServerConsultant as your ITaaS, a company can avoid complications associated with finding and hiring the right employees to satisfy your IT needs (ongoing personnel issues, providing benefits and training, or negotiating salaries) and evaluating and acquiring the right systems and services to meet your current and future requirements. Our clients know what they are getting, how much it will cost, and have the scalability to easily adjust service levels as needed.
Company managers can focus their attention where it is needed the most — on their customers and on their businesses. They can acquire the latest technology on an as-needed basis after receiving input and recommendations from us. They can leverage the expertise of highly skilled ITaaS specialists without the headaches and added costs of hiring internal IT staffers.
As businesses continue to generate enormous amounts of big data, the infrastructure can grow with them and supply much faster information flow at lower costs. Additionally, more sophisticated and larger applications continue to be developed and used without the concern of limited in-house computing and network resources.
Because of ServerConsultant’s pay-as-you-go model, companies can take advantage of all that ITaaS offers with a minimal investment up front. Monthly costs through ServerConsultant are predictable and can eliminate non-ITaaS lump-sum costs. Clients can have critical systems continuously monitored with the assurance that those systems are kept current with timely installation of upgrades and security patches. ServerConsultant services may be the best solution to satisfy your company's IT needs — both immediate and future — especially for small to mid-sized businesses with a potential for rapid growth.
