In today’s world, entrepreneurs are looking for various solutions to optimize their business. They often face the question: “What is more profitable: to keep own IT specialist or to hire a specialized company to help?”

Having a full-time in-house IT specialist at the company is a must-have in case of development an IT department and modification of all technical resources. And as well, formally you control his work, but at the same time face some disadvantages:

  • The main disadvantage of an IT employee is the narrow profile and lack of additional necessary knowledge in areas close to his activities (for example: software improvements, problems in building an IT infrastructure, etc.).
  • You are not able to really control IT personnel and then the IT costs start to be unreasonably high and not always transparent.
  • In case of dismissal of a full-time specialist, you spend a lot of time looking for a new professional.
 

To solve the problems connected with information technology and get new IT solutions for business, many companies often turn to an outsourcing company for help. They employ specialists with experience in various fields (for example: 1C programmer, information security specialist and others).

To solve your problems, the outsourcing company will offer exactly the specialist who will help you efficiently and quickly.

  • Highly professional IT consulting and training for employees in the use of computer equipment.
  • Security of company data and their storage, backups;
  • Preparation of reports, IT infrastructure diagrams, plans and deadlines for the necessary tasks, and others.
