Expand Your Capability and Expertise with a VCIO

Expand Your Capability and Expertise with a VCIO

February 28, 2017/0 Comments/in VCIO /by James Wagner

Expand Your Capability and Expertise with a VCIOTechnical support in today’s world is radically different than it was even a decade ago.

Employing a CIO and staffing an internal IT department is much more complicated and expensive than it was in the past.

But partnering with an organization that can provide the IT support you need and the expertise you must have to navigate today’s security and infrastructure issues is a solid way to ensure excellent cybersecurity and technical management that was impossible only a few years ago.

The Virtual Chief Information Officer: A Solution for Organizations of Every Size

Even independent entrepreneurs typically have an online presence, and their technical needs go beyond simple website maintenance.

The range and complexity of IT issues can tax even large corporations with the need for extensive capital reserves; their impact on smaller organizations (even mid-sized or relatively large ones), however, can be devastating.

Partnering with a Managed Services Provider (MSP) can give you access to a dependable IT department and the expertise of a CIO without the exorbitant costs.

And a Virtual Chief Information Officer (VCIO) can do more than save you money; soft benefits include your peace of mind and the ability to focus attention on business growth and development.

As well, you will no longer need to provide immediate and constant supervision over equipment and processes, nor will you have to constantly address issues that may arise during off hours.

Partnering with External Experts Is Nothing New

Partnering with a Managed Services Provider is more cost-effective in many cases than employing an internal IT department and CIO.

It’s no different than an organization contracting for human resources and legal counsel rather than having their own HR and legal departments.

Companies of all sizes can put their financial resources to better use and partner with experts to provide specific services that are scalable and customizable to each organization’s unique needs.

Combat Threats with a VCIO at Your Side

Having a partner who can help you navigate the complexities of today’s IT world has become one of necessity rather than luxury, particularly as cybersecurity has become such a difficult and expensive business requirement.

Spamming, phishing, hacking, ransomware, and data breaches of all kinds have rapidly and exponentially increased over the last few years, and combatting such constant and sophisticated threats has become an unavoidable imperative.

Companies that specialize in protection against these types of attacks are becoming indispensable to standard business performance, while the expertise and ability to provide solid defences are far less prevalent than the threats.

As technology fundamentally changes how we do business, serve customers, and address security threats, organizations must reevaluate whether their current IT strategy is meeting their needs. The ITeam is committed to helping Calgary- and Alberta-based businesses develop proactive, cost-effective IT strategies that minimize risk and maximize efficiency. Contact us to learn more.

Should You Fire Your MSP?

Is Your MSP Working Hard Enough For You?

January 23, 2017/0 Comments/in Managed IT, VCIO /by James Wagner

Last May, Microsoft Canada announced the availability of Microsoft Azure and Office 365 for Canadian businesses.

These enterprise-grade, scalable cloud solutions are available from Microsoft’s trusted managed services partners (MSP) around the country, and best of all, clients’ data is housed in Canada.

Knowing where your data is stored – and knowing that it is stored within our borders – provides peace of mind.

Should You Fire Your MSP?

Microsoft Azure provides organizations with a reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure environment, allowing you to improve your customer experience and drive innovation.

If your MSP has not at least discussed the availability of Canada-based data cloud services and storage and encouraged you to consider shifting your business to the cloud or evaluate solutions like Microsoft Azure, you may want to reconsider how hard they’re working for you versus how hard they are working for themselves.

Making the Microsoft Azure Investment Pay Off

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive solution for organizations that are moving to the cloud and need scalability and a multi-pronged platform.

Investing in Azure might be right for your business, but to really obtain the ROI you’re anticipating, be sure to choose an Azure MSP who will:

  • Help you implement and manage your Azure operations
  • Manage your hybrid cloud
  • Migrate your systems
  • Ensure that you have the most comprehensive security and IT strategy possible to meet your operational needs.

Whether you need help evaluating storage needs, configuring data, or ensuring compliance, having the right MSP partner is more important than ever.

Leveraging the Power of Azure

Working with your MSP, you can fully leverage the power of Microsoft Azure.

Your MSP can ensure that you have layers of security in place to:

  • Develop a comprehensive strategy that optimizes performance and focuses on business continuity
  • Offers the flexibility you need to navigate fluctuating demands without sacrificing control or security
  • Proactive monitoring to prevent issues and minimize downtime
  • Practical solutions that allow you to compete in a tough economic climate

As technology fundamentally changes how we do business, serve customers, and meet regulatory compliance standards, business leaders must reevaluate whether their current IT strategies are meeting their needs.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you understand your organization’s IT needs?
  • Are you concerned about security and want to gain a more in-depth understanding of how secure your data and email are?
  • Are you interested in leveraging the power of Microsoft Azure but don’t know where to begin?
