1) Fewer IT issues = More satisfied employees
Did you know there’s an actual word to describe the stress associated with information technologies? “Technostress” is a very real phenomenon. Studies have found that over 50 per cent of people experience workplace and home stress due to the IT in their lives.
In fact, a 2013 study found that when heavy Internet users are forced to go offline, they undergo withdrawal symptoms comparable to drug withdrawal.
A network consistently and proactively monitored means a workplace without the added stress of malfunctioning technology. Employees can focus on doing their jobs to the best of their abilities, rather than fixing IT issues.
2) Reduced risk of business downtime
The average cost of data centre downtime is $5,600 per minute. For industries that depend on the ability to deliver IT and networking services, such as e-commerce and telecommunications companies, the cost can be as high as $11,000 per minute.
With the potential to lose over $300,000 in a single hour of downtime, having a proactive monitoring and alert service can be instrumental in keeping daily revenue at its highest.
3) Peace of mind
Business owners have a lot to think about on a daily basis. The overarching success of the business, from planning and strategy to human resources and finance, depends on a business owner wearing about six different hats at any given time.
Why, on top of all that, should you be responsible for understanding every nuance of your network (a full-time job in and of itself)? Working with a Managed Services partner ensures you never have to worry about the health of your network—there are already experts on it.
4) Less time dealing with issues = More time running your business
You’re responsible for the day-to-day management of your entire organization. You need to be both proactive and reactive, ready to jump in and solve issues as they happen, but also constantly on top of the 1001 little things that need to get done in order for your business to be successful.
