The decision to solve IT management internally or outsource it can be a difficult one. Through our years of experience of first-class ICT management at Flexamedia, we have listed 8 important reasons that can help you consider outsourcing ICT management.
Cost savings on ICT management
The average annual salary of an internal IT manager is approximately 40.000 euros. In addition, other costs have increased, such as recruitment costs to find the right person, training to keep knowledge up to date and possible bonus programs. For most companies internal IT experts are an unaffordable luxury. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of high costs for downtime lost productivity, and employees spend valuable time solving IT problems they don't fully understand. When outsourcing ICT management, the costs are combined into a clear monthly amount. This makes budgeting easier and the total amount per year is greatly reduced.
Lack of knowledge
While almost every business today relies heavily on IT systems, hiring full-time (or even part-time) system administrators is not feasible. This means that at a company critical failure there is no expertise available and expensive emergency measures must be avoided; When outsourcing ICT management, you can contact the service desk with qualified employees who are familiar with the organization. This means that there is always a team of experts who can solve any technical problems for you.
Addition of knowledge
Some companies hire internal IT managers or employees who are responsible for IT management outside of day-to-day operations. The company fully counts on this person to maintain the continuity of the ICT system. What if they break down while on vacation, get sick or go out again? What happens if they respond to a crisis and at the same time another failure occurs? Or if there is a serious problem and it turns out that their knowledge is not enough to solve the problem quickly? When outsourcing IT management, there is always a team of experts. The team will never be absent due to vacation, illness or any other reason. At Flexamedia we can offer you fast and professional support.
Hire your own IT staff
You may be considering hiring your own IT staff. If you don't have a technical background yourself, it's difficult to assess who is right for your company and recruiting is a difficult, time-consuming and expensive process.
