What Services Can You Outsource to a Managed IT Provider?

Time is one of the few resources in business that cannot be reclaimed. It should be the goal of every business executive to spend most of their time making money. Unfortunately, when you experience trouble with your technology or network, this becomes difficult at best to accomplish. Outsourced IT is a great method that any business can implement in order to create more free time to focus on business operations and money-making initiatives.

You might be surprised by how much time outsourcing your IT operations can save you. Of course, this all depends on how you are currently managing your company’s technology. First, you’ll want to individually assess each of your IT tasks to see how they are currently being handled. Once you have compiled a list of all IT-related tasks, you can then start considering outsourcing them to an IT company like XFER.

• Remote and on-site support
• Active Directory administration and maintenance
• File, folder, and share administration
• Security administration
