Why Fully Managed?

Benefits of Fully Managed IT Services

Peace of Mind

Outsourcing the daily management activities of your IT environment means your efforts can be focused on your core competencies and business goals. As an IT Proactive client, you won’t have to worry about maintaining your IT hardware, managing an on-site data center, or monitoring for potential network/computer issues that could lead to downtime and profit loss; we will take care of all of that for you. In many cases, we will inform you of a problem before you even see it.

Benefits of Fully Managed IT Services

Predictable Monthly Costs

Your accountant will tell you that operational expenses are better than capital expenses. It’s better to spend a predictable flat-rate amount on a service as opposed to an outright purchase, hiring your own staff, or taking a gamble on the pay-by-the-hour repairman. IT Proactive offers a comprehensive flat-rate monthly fee. This allows you to create a simple, easily predicted, yearly budget enabling you to sleep easy knowing you have coverage for all your IT issues.

Benefits of Fully Managed IT Services

Professional Technicians

Companies that handle their own IT in-house have to contend with hiring an expensive employee or dealing with someone who’s just good with computers. Even with an in-house employee you have to worry about training, covering vacation and sick time along with the potential of being overwhelmed by a flood of issues. With IT Proactive, you get the benefit of an entire team of professionals who provide up-to date 24/7 support.
