It is difficult for many startups to achieve immediate success. Many fail for various reasons. However, one of the primary reasons is that they run out of working capital. Staying within budget is a priority and one way to do so is with the help of managed services.
What is Managed Services?
Managed services is the outsourcing of IT infrastructure management to a third-party managed services provider. Since managed services is a fixed monthly fee, startups gain access to enterprise-level servers and hardware, as well as high-level tech support at a tremendous cost savings.
Most startups cannot afford to hire full-time IT technicians to manage all of the hardware and software required to operate their business. Often times, someone on staff who is somewhat computer savvy takes responsibility of managing the network. However, the long-term effects of this method of IT maintenance can lead to hours of downtime when issues occur, as well as delaying important projects. By outsourcing IT management to a managed services provider, startups get access to a team of IT experts who can take care of day-to-day maintenance, upgrades, security, and more.
Data Security
Besides the cost savings that managed services offer, startups can also benefit greatly from data security. Data loss of any amount can hinder a company’s operations. Without a data backup and recovery plan, your startup could close its doors if disaster strikes and wipes out all of your sensitive data. The IT experts with a managed services provider can create a data backup and recovery plan suited to your business. You will have the peace of mind that your data is safe, secure, and recoverable.
Managing your budget is crucial in order to help your startup thrive. Managed services is a cost-effective way to stay within budget and free up working capital to grow your business.
