Most businesses outsource all kinds of activities, from bookkeeping and accounting, to customer service, to materials supply, to shipping. There are several reasons to outsource. For one, keeping a full-time staff for rarely needed services is an inefficient use of funds. In addition, many companies simply can’t compete for top talent, so it’s easier to outsource to professional firms that can provide needed resources and specialists.
Finding the right third-party IT support provider to partner with can make any business owner’s job easier. Most businesses struggle to keep up with technological advances and stave off threats like data breaches. The support and guidance offered by reputable and experienced IT professionals can alleviate worries and ensure network and computer security that helps to protect companies and their customers.
If you listen to people in the know, it’s not a matter of if your company will be the victim of a data breach, but when. Not only are most businesses (both large and small) woefully under-protected when it comes to system security, but hackers are finding more and more sophisticated ways to break in all the time.
Even though the headlines often highlight major data breaches in corporations and government agencies, the truth is that the vast majority of businesses being hacked are small. Why is this the case? Because small businesses are generally under-protected.
Small business owners face a wide variety of challenges, often including insufficient staff, client dependence, and balancing a desire to create quality products with the need to increase quantity of sales, just for example. In truth, most of the biggest challenges small businesses commonly come up against revolve around one central theme: the bottom line.
