I own and run a small recruitment company and a growing job listing board. Like many small businesses, I have a lot of things that can occupy my time, but I am pleased to say worrying about IT security, updates, and back-ups is not one of those.
Not long after I started working for myself, my little laptop had a meltdown. You never think it will happen to you. Believe me, it will if you do not have the right support in place. I was fortunate to be a member of a networking group where JJ Systems, a local IT Support business, was a fellow member. At that time, I did not have a support contract, but they resolved the laptop issue and then advised me on the right professional services to support my business in the long term. That was thirteen years ago! I have never looked back.
As a managed service provider, JJ Systems supports my business with:
- Automatic daily backup of my data to a secure UK site
- Monitoring and maintenance cover for laptops and PCs, giving me health checks and updates
- Remote phone support to resolve software and hardware issues
- Anti-virus & Malware protection
- Microsoft Exchange Professional email for a range of email domains
- Mailbox hosting & support
- Microsoft Office 365
- Domain hosting & support
- Advice on system upgrades
This is what professional IT support looks like for me, but JJ Systems can offer many other IT-related services, including Managed Print Services, VOIP telecom, and Fibre & Leased Line connections, to name a few.
If you are serious about running your business efficiently, then you need to have professionally managed IT services.
You can look at it any way you want, but it is unlikely that getting a friend or family member who “knows about computers” will give anywhere near this level of knowledge and support.
Professional support does cost, but consider the financial and reputational loss to your business if, one day, your IT has a meltdown and you are not supported.
Contact JJ Systems to find out how they can support your business.
