Small Businesses in These Four Industries Can Benefit From Outsourced Managed IT and Cloud Services
Ontario, Canada , March 7, 2017 (Newswire.com) - eSolutions, a managed IT services provider (MSP) specializing in helping organizations in all industries make the most of their technology investments while removing the high cost and complexity, is offering advice to small and medium-sized businesses regarding their IT and cloud computing needs. eSolutions hopes that these recommendations will help companies—especially those in the Hospitality, Medical/Dental, Advertising and Legal industries—make informed decisions when choosing whether to partner with a managed IT and cloud services partner.
According to Michael Milutinovic, Senior Consultant at eSolutions, “Small business owners are beginning to see the advantages of working with a managed services company for their IT and cloud computing needs, especially as they have to adopt more and more advanced technology to stay competitive. They’re also realizing that the services an MSP offers—off-site data backup and recovery, assistance with compliance standards like HIPAA and PCI, virtualization, VoIP phone systems and digital security—are just good business, and will save them time and money.”
Milutinovic went on to identify four business types that would benefit most from partnering with an MSP, and explained the reasons why.
Ontario Business Types that Benefit Most from Partnering with a MSP
1. Hospitality (specifically Restaurants, Cafés, Bars and Nightclubs)
The amount of digital infrastructure required in a successful hospitality business has grown exponentially in the last two years. Point-of-sale computers, credit card machines, guest Wi-Fi, inventory control, security cameras … all of these are IP-based. This makes for a very complicated system that requires tight security, regular maintenance and PCI compliance. An MSP can handle these tasks and more, and at a fraction of the cost of a full-time IT person.
Medical and dental offices handle lots of personal and private data, as well as insurance billing and on-site credit card processing. Because of this, they have a legal and moral responsibility to keep data safe, secure and compliant with IT and HIPAA regulations. That means they must keep their systems constantly monitored, maintained and updated, which is a huge task that should be managed by a skilled expert. By partnering with an MSP, local doctors and dentists can focus on treating patients, not worrying about technology issues.
3. Advertising (specifically Digital Marketing Agencies)
Advertising agencies handle a lot of important client information and intellectual property, much of it in extremely large files, and some host multiple websites on their servers. Because these agencies’ clients are trusting them with their branding and public image, downtime and server issues can be catastrophic. An MSP can help ensure uptime with cloud-based services like server virtualization, server colocation and more. Plus, they can help agencies be more mobile and responsive by deploying and managing cloud-based data storage, as well as applications like Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud.
4. Legal
Canada-based law offices have a lot of the same security and regulatory needs as a doctor or dentist’s office, as well as the server uptime and mobility needs of an advertising agency. Managing all of that technology is an enormous responsibility, especially when you have clients that need your full attention and services. That’s why working with an MSP is a smart move, as they can deploy and manage technology that facilitates communication, collaboration, security and reliability without an enormous price tag.
