Managed Services vs. Break-Fix

Do you have a plan in place for your IT when things go south? It’s easy to assume that it’ll happen to another company, but we’re all “someone else” to someone else. It’s time to take control of your future and invest in a solution that’s going to provide long-lasting, reliable service. It’s time to invest in high-quality managed services, instead of sticking with a break-fix mentality.

Managed Services vs. Break-Fix: What’s the Difference?

The last thing you want when an issue arises for your IT is to be caught off guard. Managing your day-to-day operations is already time consuming enough as is; if a security threat shows up and you’re unprepared, it could spell disaster for your network. And just because you’ve weathered the storm once and dealt with an IT issue in the past doesn’t mean you’ll be fine the next time around—as security systems develop and adapt, so too do the various threats they are designed to repel. Strategic IT planning is all about being prepared for what’s coming down the road as opposed to a break-fix mentality, which is the IT equivalent of relying on your ability to swerve away from an accident instead of installing an airbag.

Project management is all about being able to account for every possible scenario. Yes, you have a planned end date, but what happens if something gets in the way? Avoiding the avoidable is all about preparation. In this blog, we’ll talk about managed IT services, and how they can help your entire organization mitigate potential issues and help your team avoid costly downtime.
