Top 7 benefits of outsourcing IT

As the future of the UK's economic and political state continues to be unclear, it is important that business owners prepare their companies as much as possible for the uncertainty to come.

One of the elements that must be evaluated is the business systems and infrastructure in ensuring that they are running as efficiently and effectively as possible. To aid in this, Chess have put together a list of the top 7 benefits of outsourcing your IT to help give you peace of mind that your IT infrastructure remains secure and available.

1. Control IT Costs. In today's modern technological age, the cost of successfully managing your IT systems can easily spiral out of control and for most businesses, it is one of the biggest challenges you can face.
2. Stay Focused on Your Core Business. Most businesses have limited resources with managers and individuals already working to their maximum potential. No one wants to worry about the mundane everyday IT tasks or complex problems, which is where IT outsourcing can help.
3. Stay Ahead of the Game. The digital landscape is constantly evolving with technology advances moving quicker than ever before. As a result, more and more SMEs struggle to stay ahead of industry changes and can't afford to match the in-house support services of larger companies.
4. Compliance and Security. Securing your IT environment and ensuring your systems are compliant are essential. As technology advances, so do the security risks i.e. viruses, malware, hacking and data theft, are just a few of the things that could seriously impact your business.
5. Drives and Supports Your Business Growth. Investment in a robust and effective IT infrastructure can help drive and support your business growth.
6. Develop and Support Internal Team. In some cases, businesses may not have the relevant technical skill set required to implement large scale complex IT projects. Outsourcing of these projects will bring highly skilled and experienced resources into your company. Your people can work alongside them to enhance their own skills and knowledge.
7. Reduces Your Risk. IT systems should be simple and should work.
