Five benefits to having proactive managed IT services

IT shouldn’t be an afterthought, but many businesses stick with their current systems and fail to get the full benefit of the technology they’ve invested in. That can be an expensive mistake – businesses which have proactive IT systems in place it can future-proof your business and encourage growth.

Sir Clive Woodward, non-executive director at Aura Technology, has a mantra:

“Companies that win in IT tend to win”.

It’s a philosophy that he has applied to world-beating Rugby and Olympic teams and in his technology businesses, and one which can be applied to all organisations, large and small. In a world where the term “digital transformation” is frequently heard, the difference between a reactive and proactive IT support team can give your business the edge.

Reactive IT support only acts when you need it. You might fall victim to a cyber-attack, delete an important document or a server might crash, prompting you to raise the issue with your support team. This works – but it’s a waiting game until the problems fixed. That’s downtime that your business can’t afford.

A proactive IT model can anticipate and prevent problems occurring – solving issues well before they become a threat to your business. Advanced monitoring tools and a team of engineers at a fixed price gives you peace of mind knowing your costs are completely under control.

Being proactive, especially when it comes to IT security, is critical for any business today. Proactive managed IT will ensure that your computer systems will be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – you’ll be alerted if something goes wrong or is about to.

Expert support is one of the key benefits of managed IT services. At Aura Technology, highly-skilled service desk and on-site engineers are standing by, ready to respond to any IT issues your staff may experience., offering remote problem solving or on-site visits if you need it.
