Remember the days of businesses running solely off pen and paper for their accounts and reporting? We live in the information age where IT has moved from being a subsidiary role to businesses relying heavily on it. The loss of email or the Internet often means companies lose money. Networking your computers to the Internet and each other, building a server infrastructure, securing your data and the ongoing maintenance is critical for any business looking to survive in today’s information age.
But building your IT foundation isn’t a straight forward decision. There’s the cost factor, the vendor, ongoing maintenance, what level of service is guaranteed, emergency support outside of normal business hours, strategic meetings to discuss where the company is going and ensuring IT is aligned to the same direction. Like businesses, IT needs can grow and change as new technologies flourish. What worked yesterday can suddenly no longer work today. It’s not enough to have an IT provider or outsourcer anymore, but an IT Partner.
Illuminate IT is proud to be in the position of that trusted advisor. We don’t just see the technical details of the underlying computers and servers in a network. We also see the potential behind that layer, from the empowerment of a business to the every user helping to satisfy the direction of company goals.
When it comes to technologies in the IT field, there’s certainly no shortage. An IT Partner not only needs to remain current with the latest technologies, they must also understand the requirements of business and tailor a solution according to those needs. Whereas cloud computing may work for some customers, it may not the next. Should we store our backups in a remote location or somewhere else? When will I need to upgrade my hardware? How can I ensure my data is secured from outside the organization , as well as inside? These are just some of the questions that will come up when taking a look at your environment. Our consultation services can provide answers to all of these questions and more when looking at your business.
When the very first computer was installed in a business, it soon become obvious that ongoing support is going to be required to maintain the device. When additional devices entered the scene, the complexity of that picture became even greater. It then became clear that it was going to become a full time job to look after all of them. Today, with technology expanding at such a breakneck pace, it makes sense to find an IT company that can handle all those IT support services. Illuminate IT operates a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our helpdesk is ready to take your call to provide assistance whenever you need it.
