16 Sep Business Remote Monitoring and Why This Technology is Essential
Running a business is expensive, and you might think you can get away without IT services. However, this is a problematic thing to do. While these services can be pricey, they are well worth it, considering they can save you a lot of money down the line. If you end up having a significant security issue, it can end up costing you much more than paying for the IT services. Here are several reasons you should have remote monitoring and maintenance for your business.
Reduce Network Downtime
Time is money, as they say, and if your network is down and you’re unable to do work, you are losing money. Not to mention, any customers trying to use your site or are waiting for you to do something on your site will be angry. If they leave your business because of this, that’s money lost.
Improve Security
It’s easy to ignore a prompt to update your computer or to set it to remind you later over and over again. While this seems pretty harmless, it can actually do a lot of damage. Hackers can exploit your lack of updates to find ways into your system and cause many issues. This can end up costing you a lot.
Hardware and Software Needs
As time goes by, hardware breaks down, and software licenses expire. You don’t want to be caught unaware and end up having to replace hardware you didn’t budget for or no longer have access to software that is important to your business.
Insights to Your Network
When you come across a problem on your device, it’s easy to find the quickest solution possible to get around it, rather than actually fix the problem. This isn’t helpful for the long term. An IT service can help identify issues and solve them.
