Benefits of Managed IT

With information technology (IT) infrastructures and cybersecurity threats changing by the day, having an effective IT team in place is critical for organizations of all sizes, especially in large states like New York where many businesses call home.

Managed IT services are a great solution for businesses of any size. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the benefits of leveraging managed IT services and support.

24/7 Cybersecurity Report

Cybercriminals pose a constant to network security. As part of our Managed Services, Converged Technology Group’s Assist360° Essential Security Bundle and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) initiative provide our clients’ companies with updated security standards to protect against hacking and potential data losses. 

Additionally, this service offers superior Cyberattack Prevention by monitoring all systems for potential security threats before they become malicious attacks. In the event of a security incident, as your Managed Services Provider, Converged Technology Group’s IT professionals will assess the challenge and mitigate it immediately to minimize its impact on your systems and your business.

Utilizes the Latest Technology

It is difficult to provide an in-house IT unit with all the equipment upgrades and new software required to keep pace with increasing needs. It is also difficult for laymen to determine which upgrades are best for a given industry. There is simply no point in taking a shot in the dark by investing in a new network infrastructure that either proves to be a wrong choice or requires extensive training by your existing staff to operate. 

Cost Benefits

As your business achieves its goals, sustaining that growth includes hiring more staff, purchasing additional hardware, and licensing more software. Without guidance, it is all too easy for those with a stake in the business to over – or underspend, or worse, purchase the wrong tools altogether. Converged Technology Group’s IT support for NYC-based businesses is based on our understanding of your business, and what technology it requires to succeed. We’ll advise you so that your spending is needs-based, and offer on-site hardware installations and either onsite or remote software installation by our highly experienced professionals. This way you will always have the tools you require, and the support and maintenance your company needs.

As a top Managed Service Provider, Converged Technology Group can demonstrate how our experts can provide optimal coverages at a lower monthly cost than expanding an in-house department. 

Predictable Spending

With managed IT services, you’ll know exactly what your monthly IT costs are going to be each month. You won’t have any surprise expenses because everything will be included in your monthly fee. Even if there is an emergency, you won’t have to pay inflated one-off repair costs. If there is any disruption in service or an increase in usage, there is no need to worry about extra costs being incurred due to such situations. This makes it much easier to plan ahead and budget accordingly.

Proactive, Not Reactive

When you work with an MSP that offers 24/7 support, your IT department is proactive, not reactive. Preventative maintenance like planned IT downtime and frequent monitoring can save your business time and money in the long run. An MSP can develop a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan so that way, you reduce the risks of unplanned IT downtime. 

Data Compliant 

Every business holder has a stake in growing their enterprise. Cybercrime is not the only risk, however. Many organizations and businesses across different fields have strict regulations and guidelines they must adhere to when it comes to data compliance. This includes HIPAA, FERPA, and more. Non-compliance with government mandates, privacy laws, and additional regulations can negatively impact your customers, therefore your business, and your profitability. 

The solution is to have Converged Technology Group as your MSP for your IT Services. Our team can assist your business in mitigating some of these risks to protect your assets by understanding your industry’s requirements and ensuring that your business meets them.

Utilize the Latest Technology

It is expensive to expand and continuously train in-house IT staffers whenever there is a new staffer, new release, or new system to learn. This also impacts their day-to-day productivity. These individuals also impact operations costs as in addition to training, they receive benefits as well. There is also no guarantee that once trained on the latest systems your IT staff will not leave for a more competitive salary elsewhere. 

By comparison, as a leading Managed Service Provider in the NYC region, Converged Technology Group’s team has the experience and access to business-grade solutions such as remote monitoring and management to ensure uptime. It provides the ideal solution for firms that need to constantly level up while maintaining network security and their profitability.

When you work with an MSP that offers 24/7 support, your IT department is proactive, not reactive. Preventative maintenance like planned IT downtime and frequent monitoring can save your business time and money in the long run.
