Ten/10 reasons to hire a technology support team to plan, install, manage, and maintain, your technology infrastructure. A tech team has many advantages over one or more full time staff positions. Some advantages are obvious, others are equally important but come from experience working with a motivated, managed, professional team.
Many of our clients originally had an IT person on staff, or they had a freelance individual handling their technology planning, trouble-shooting, and issue management. The primary challenge with a full time IT person or freelancer is that you have to manage them, pay them benefits, they go on vacation, they get sick, and you usually don’t have the resources to hire someone with the depth of experience needed. There are other issues: like not needing a full time person if your technology is setup and configured correctly, and staff turn-over because most companies do not have a career path for IT staff. A technology support team is a way to simplify and focus technology resources where your organization needs them.
