Technology is rapidly changing, creating more opportunity for businesses to enhance their productivity and efficiency. However, as our need for technology increases, so does our need for a team that can handle it all. It is no secret that the cost of an in-house IT team is expensive, but it shouldn’t be seen as too much for the sake of business. To do without it will cost you so much more. Perhaps you have an in-house IT team already, but they are strapped for time and overworked. Or your experiencing a shortage of qualified professionals. As the technology climate changes, your IT team must take on more and more. Is there a way to ease the burden? The simple answer is yes. Turning to IT staffing solutions could be the problem solver you need. Let’s take a look.

The Importance of IT in Your Business

An IT team does so much more for your business than most believe. It isn’t simply setting up email addresses and monitors. The role is dynamic, constantly changing and requiring special talent that your business needs. A strong IT department with all the necessary skills can:

  • Increase efficiencies for your business. Businesses are looking to streamline as many processes as possible, moving faster and wasting less time on manual tasks. Your IT department can increase the efficiency of these processes in areas like marketing and sales by implementing the right tools.
  • Improve communication. Today, there are more remote employees and remote teams than ever before. Businesses are taking advantage of talent from all over the world. Your IT team can ensure that communication is seamless between all members of your business using real-time tools. They also ensure that data is kept safe when sharing.
  • Enhance the customer experience. The CX is a huge deal right now with good reason. Customers are in control and want a seamless experience from businesses. The only way to give them the experience they desire is using IT. Website speed, video and audio, direct communication and more all impact the CX.
  • Improve security posture. Most IT team are responsible for the organizations overall security posture and compliance requirements. 

There are so many benefits to IT that they simply cannot be listed. Chances are, if you think about a process within your business that could use some tweaking, it cannot be done without a change in technology, big or small.

The Benefits of Using IT Staffing Solutions

Perhaps you understand the importance of an IT team, but you don’t have the room to add any other staff members to your in-house team. Or, you have a current IT team that is overworking on tasks outside of their primary duties. IT staffing solutions can augment your current IT team, creating a more agile department that will help you achieve your goals. Other benefits include:

  • Streamline operations. IT staffing solutions can help your current IT team streamline their operations to enhance their productivity and reduce the time they spend on manual tasks. Often, IT teams are doing their best to stay above water and cannot focus on streamlining. This is where added IT staff are beneficial for operations.
  • More time for innovation. What would happen if your higher-level IT members had more time to innovate and create? What if they could focus on improving the user experience, which is what they were hired to do? Often, all members of IT staff are pressed to keep manual tasks afloat, taking time away from strategic planning, research and process improvement. IT staffing solutions solve this problem by adding members to your staff for the cause of tasking, or wherever you need more hands.
  • Flexibility. When building and rounding out your IT team, flexibility is critical. You may not have the funds available for full-time employment as of yet for new team members. IT staffing solutions allow for that flexibility, working with you as you scale up or down.
  • On-site assistance. Staff is available to work on-site with your current IT team for seamless communication and productivity. This allows you to receive enhanced services instead of using remote assistance. You will be adding hands-on IT specialists to your roster, giving you more opportunities for process improvement and the streamlining of operations.
  • Support and maintenance assistance. Helpdesk support, imaging projects and maintenance are all available using staffing solutions. This will allow your higher-level team members get back to doing what they do best.
  • Cost-Effectiveness. You don’t have to carry the burden of finding qualified hires.  Being “in” the business we can handle all the needed responsibilities on your behalf effectively and efficiently.
  • New Hire Productivity. As a trusted partner, we maintain a diverse pool of talents ready to take on your business’s needs. Working with us means gaining access to fully screened IT professionals who are widely knowledgeable in all aspects of the industry and have immediate access to resources in all disciplines of technology (cybersecurity, collaboration, datacenter as examples).
  • Reduce Risks of Unqualified Hires. When partnering with clients, we look deep into skill, expertise, values, and professionalism. Hence, you can expect highly skilled personnel to work for your team.
  • Timeliness. On average, hiring a new employee takes up to 50+ days, especially in the IT industry. By partnering with an IT Services organization, you can save a lot of time looking for quality talents to hire.

Any business could use more hands on-deck for improvements. However, when it comes to your IT, overhead can be reduced by adding more staff. It may seem backward, but by streamlining your business processes, improving your tech and allowing team members time to innovate, your overhead for unused technology and tasks will decrease.
