Q: When should I outsource IT?
Ron Cervantes, owner of C Solutions IT answers this way: “Basically, there are two types of people out there. Those who run their PCs until they break. And those who run their systems in such a way that they won’t break. They plan, do the upgrades, add the storage. We help everyone, but we prefer that second type.
“Often, we’ll go out on a job for a performance issue. We address that, of course. But we also get to look at what they’re dealing with system-wise. People often don’t know what they don’t know. We answer their questions, make suggestions, run the numbers for them. Many of those clients become regular customers when we show them how their IT systems could become more reliable by signing up for one of our managed plans.
People often don’t know what they don’t know.
“On a managed plan, we actively monitor their computers; keeping their systems up-to-date and running at optimum performance. We protect them from viruses, breakdowns, data losses. We monitor compliance requirements where that is a concern and deploy a whole stack of security tools—anti-virus, DNS filtering, Zero Trust Solutions. We also provide vendor management; keeping track of all those pesky licenses, passwords, storage and more.
“When the time comes that your company’s grown too big to self-service your IT, or you spend time on it better spent on core business concerns, it’s time to call someone. Like me.”
