When outsourcing your company's IT, it’s important to know what you should expect.
Many South Florida IT providers say they provide all the functions of an IT department.
But the truth is that most providers do not provide all of the necessary functions.
They will say they do, but they really don’t.
It’s just not practical.
To Offer All of the Functions of an IT Department You Need Scale.
That means the right amount of qualified IT people, with the right experience, education and exposure.
Can it be done?
Sure it can.
But the companies that can do all of the functions of IT, and do them well, are unicorns in a sea of sameness.
The unicorns are out there.
The Functions of an IT Department Are:
- Desktop Support
- Helpdesk
- Systems Engineering
- Network Engineering
- Application Management
- System Administration
- Network Administration
- Project Management
- IT Management
- Planning
- Purchasing
- Database Administration
- Lifecycle Management
- Security
So the next time you're out looking for a new IT Company for your South Florida business, or just want to validate the one you have now, ask them what all the functions of an IT department are.
Then ask them if they provide them all.
