IT outsourcing provides small businesses in the Santa Cruz area with the opportunity to save money on IT support while improving the business value of their information system. IT outsourcing gives your company access to skilled consultants without requiring the costly expansion of your full-time IT staff. By outsourcing IT services, your management can concentrate more on business issues while network support worries are handled by dedicated, experienced and certified professionals.

Because of its cost-effectiveness, IT outsourcing among small businesses has grown dramatically in recent years. This growth has been brought about largely by a combination of highly leveraged support technologies and highly flexible outsourcing programs. Surveys highlight a number of key reasons that motivate small businesses to outsource IT services:

  • Improve company focus
  • Reduce operating costs
  • Free up internal technical resources
