We know in today’s world technology is an enabler and there are some smart applications today that truly make day to day business faster and smarter. The challenge with IT in a business is the applications are dependent on many elements called infrastructure in the IT terms like PCs, Servers, Networks, Internet Connections, Printers just to name a few.

With IT sometimes like a car if one part breaks you are waiting for a tech to turn up and wondering how much it will cost you this time or just when you thought its going well the equipment gets old and starts to breakdown more often again creating more unbudgeted expense, downtown and financial loss.

So we raise the question, why buy the equipment that needs specialist support and creates unpredicted cost and risk to your business. Just like the great application you want the technology that supports it to just have a monthly cost with no surprises and delivers a business outcome for the term of the agreement.

Today, international and domestic vendors have built services of technology that when assembled together for your business provide a quality of service and reliability that typical many companies could never achieve on their own. For example Microsoft have built data centers and support services around products like email, with millions of dollars invested that we can access today from $7 a user a month. Email is only one part of the puzzle, as you need file sharing, security authentication and all the other parts bolted together as a complete infrastructure solution for your business.
