New Bedford Area Not For Profit Organizations - You Should Consider Outsourcing Your IT Needs!
Many think of outsourcing as sending jobs overseas, but not always. Outsourcing is happening right here in New Bedford and both parties in the deal are local.
Instead of having an in-house IT department, your organization can outsource all of your IT to a local technology provider like New Bedford Internet.
It's a very cost effective solution for not for profits with strapped budgets as it allows a small organization have 24/7 trained personel monitor and respond to software and hardware issues as they arise.
Instead of having to hire an in-house tech person to maintain your systems and provide support to staff as problems arise, your locally outsourced IT providers can respond (oftentimes remotely) and fix the problem you're facing. The IT outsource company ensures their staff is trained and up to speed with emerging technologies and solutions. No need for you to have a dedicated person on staff to handle these occasional problems.
Outsourced IT support is often available at an hourly rate or even on a monthly contract basis giving you unlimited remote support requests for a fixed monthly price. With 90% - 95% of computer problems addressable via remote support, it's making a whole lot of sense for Not for Profits (and for profits too) to have their IT team on standby, but not on staff!
Outsourced IT staff can assist you with almost anything from implementing organization backup plans to routine PC maintenence which helps ensure that your pcs don't fail as a result of deferred maintenance like defragmenting or scandisking etc.
An outsourced IT team can maintain your anti-virus and malware software and can help monitor your staff's pcs to ensure that no un-safe software or computing practices are being adopted in your organization without your knowledge.
Imagine how a day without Internet access can impact your bottom line, or what a day without your customer data can cost you? How about a catastrophic hard drive failure? Have you ever asked yourself this question - "how badly would you and your organization be hurt if you irretrievably lost your data?" If you're the Executive Director at your organization, isn't it your responsibility to ensure that your organizational data is backed up?
Never fear! It's not to late to act. Call a competent local IT provider (I say local because there are times when remote support isn't able to address your needs) and get your IT needs under control. Don't wait until you have an IT crisis before extablishing a relationship with a trusted IT provider.
