When choosing IT solutions for your business, cost is certainly an important consideration. But in addition to comparing pricing of various IT products and services, it’s crucial to weigh the costs associated with having bad IT. An unreliable, inefficient, and insecure system that is ill-suited to the functionality of your business can send your bottom line into a downward spiral. Below are four ways that bad IT can be costly to your company.  

Many companies have changed the way they work, with many adopting some form of a flexible workplace. According to a 2022 survey of 25,000 American workers by McKinsey and Ipsos, 58% reported that they had the opportunity to work from home at least one day a week. As companies have transitioned to a flexible workplace model, many have turned to hoteling as a system for managing their hybrid workforces. When done right, hoteling can provide many benefits for both employers and employees.

To survive and thrive in today’s competitive world, small and midsize companies need their IT systems to be reliable, secure, efficient, and effectively designed to align with their business goals. However, it is often cost-prohibitive for small and midsized businesses to build and maintain an IT system in-house that checks all the boxes they need.

Given the complexity of IT and the crucial role it plays in every aspect of a business’s operations, companies outsource IT more than any other service. In 2023, spending on IT outsourcing is projected to reach $519 billion globally, a 22% increase from 2019 and 71% of the total outsourcing expenditure pie of $731 billion, according to Deloitte. Nearly two-thirds of organizations (63%) cited cost-cutting as an important benefit of outsourcing their IT in the Deloitte report. Here are a few ways that partnering with a managed IT service provider (MSP) can help your company cut costs.

The great cloud migration was accelerated by the pandemic, when hybrid and remote work environments were adopted on a large scale, thus increasing demand for the flexibility, efficiency, and security that cloud solutions provide. By 2026, cloud will be the fundamental underlying platform for 75% of organizations, predicts research firm Gartner. When choosing a cloud solution, it is important for companies to understand the difference between public and private clouds.

As many firms continue to embrace a hybrid work environment, others are still on the fence. While fully remote and always in-office both have their advantages, a hybrid work environment combines the best of both arrangements. As firms seek to compete for top talent, improve work-life balance, and enhance their productivity, the advantages of a hybrid work model are becoming increasingly clear. Here are a few unexpected benefits of a hybrid work environment.

Law firms are responsible for a vast amount of client data and with the ever-increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, the cybersecurity of your firm has never been more crucial. Small to midsize firms typically do not have the resources to manage effective and up-to-date in-house cybersecurity. 

When small to midsize firms partner with a managed service provider (MSP), they outsource some or all of their IT, allowing the firm to focus on their own clients. MSPs offer expertise and state-of-the-art tools that provide superior cybersecurity. Here are some steps MSPs take to enhance your firm’s cybersecurity.

With many law firms requiring a more flexible workspace, cloud-based business solutions continue to grow in popularity. One such solution, Desktop as a Service (DaaS), moves your desktops, servers, applications, and files to a secure, private cloud. This allows your attorneys and staff to safely access their desktops from anywhere, on any device. As the number of DaaS providers continues to grow, it can be challenging to find the right partner for your firm. When vetting a DaaS provider, there are several important factors to keep in mind.

Since the inception of information technology, cybersecurity has come a long way. Unfortunately, cyberattacks have kept pace and malicious actors are constantly on the hunt for new targets. High-profile cyberattacks frequently occur across a variety of industries, proving that anyone can become a target. If 2022 taught us anything, it’s that no business or service is safe from becoming a target. Here are some of the biggest cyberattacks of 2022.
