Why should you outsource

January 2008

Running your own IT systems is becoming increasingly complex

IT Managers are overburdened with networking services management, server security, databases and application administration.

Recruiting an IT Manager with comprehensive knowledge of every system, piece of equipment and type of software is nigh on impossible, so the value of outsourcing your IT can be significant and not just in monetary terms.

Immediate advantages, according to independent analysts Gartner, are best realised by firstly outsourcing remote monitoring and management of systems. Risks are managed, costs controlled, continuity maintained and productivity improved. Systems are monitored 24/7, minimising downtime impact, ensuring network security and freeing internal resources to concentrate on core or more strategic IT planning activities.

When you partner with Synergy, your IT function and company benefit directly from the technical expertise and specialist experience of professionals working with the very latest industry innovations and methods of best practice.

Our managed services are responsive, with clearly defined service levels, escalation and delivery that is consistent and reliable.

Regular reporting and accountability ensures Client visibility is completely preserved.

Support charges are per month per user, systems monitoring and maintenance is also fixed allowing you to maintain control of your IT costs and budgeting.

Outsourcing should not be seen as a threat by those affected, but positive potential for career development. Outsourced personnel are integrated and given the same opportunities for personal and technical growth. Sickness and holiday cover is no longer a problem, training costs are negated for the client. There is no loss of existing knowledge, individuals are simply better trained, structured, motivated and managed.

Synergys managed services empower your workforce, enabling them to focus and respond to your business core activities more effectively.
