In today’s dynamic educational environment, keeping pace with technology advancements to cultivate a learning atmosphere is a challenge facing every superintendent and school administrator.
Beneficial to busy educational professionals is having a trusted entity manage existing infrastructure and strategically implement new technology developments. Managed IT Services is a new business model offering a comprehensive approach that utilizes a depth of external IT resources with 24/7 protection to guarantee your network’s uptime performance. Many organizations realize a cost savings of 50 percent or more under this new approach.
Collaborating on strategies with existing IT personnel combined with outsourcing certain technology functions with a Managed IT Service provider offers public and private schools a trusted partner to achieve their mission of educating children.
Benefits of Managed IT Services:
A Deep Bench: A team of experienced engineers is available to consult with existing internal personnel or manage your IT infrastructure entirely. An individual internal resource can’t be everywhere, available 100 percent of each day nor can they be an expert in every technology. Resolving issues in a timely fashion improves end user productivity.
Preventative Measures: Busy IT professionals don’t necessarily have time to conduct routine monthly tasks to optimize server performance with daily issues arising. Typically, that means lower server speed for the end user. Ensuring a proactive approach means networks are monitored in real time, enabling issues to be addressed as they emerge.
Fixed Budget: An annual fixed price in the form of a monthly fee allows for certainty with a planned investment to adequately support an IT infrastructure’s uptime performance.
Purchasing Less Hardware: Through server virtualization and optimization fewer dollars need to be tied up in new capital equipment expenditures.
