Don't be misled

Efficiently managing today’s complex IT environments requires a broad range of skills and substantial expertise, particularly in physical and web-based protection. Finding ideal staff to achieve this is challenging because such recruits remain in high demand and are difficult to retain; this represents a significant cost, particularly when staff are not fully utilised.

This is why a growing number of organisations are considering outsourcing their IT – a prospect no longer restricted to large organisations with multiple sites.

Lightsout Computer Services is one of the few to provide full datacentre outsourcing solutions to SMEs. Customers no longer have to have their own server; they can access ‘big business’ benefits and IT skills through the Lightsout datacentre, which includes state-of-the-art reliability and security technology.

If your organisation has or is considering outsourcing, but is inhibited by any of the following misconceptions, please call Lightsout Computer Services:

• the need to improve your IT system before approaching Lightsout
• the assumption that IT can be more effectively handled in-house
• insufficient funding – a common misconception amongst smaller organisations
• the belief that your IT functionality has to be well-defined before you can consider outsourcing it
• a false sense of security due to a vast amount of data, which is seen as valuable business intelligence.
