Debunking the Outsourcing Myth...

The bottom line:  Outsourcing your IT computer support will save you money.  Period.  Whether you are a small business of 10 employees or an enterprise of hundreds, outsourcing some or all of your computer support to Western Data will have a positive influence on your bottom line.  Why?  Simple – economy of scale.

Contrary to popular belief, small businesses of 100 or less employees DO NOT REQUIRE ONSITE SUPPORT.  That may fly in the face of conventional wisdom but it is true.  A Western Data managed network, accompanied by our professional Help Desk services is far less costly than having a full time network administrator (and in many cases a junior “desktop” tech as well).

In addition to off-site support, Western Data offers on-site maintenance and emergency services to all businesses located in Southern California. We will work with you towards the perfect blend of on and off-site services that will provide top-notch IT support while reducing your bottom line.

A site that has 4 servers and 50 desktops can be managed for around $5k per month with no hidden costs.  A qualified network administrator worth can easily cost in the neighborhood of $60k per year in salary alone.  And that's not including vacation pay, the associated cost of backfilling that service void while he or she is on vacation, ongoing training, sick time, management overhead, etc.  When you outsource with Western Data, you have none of the associated overhead plus you get the advantage of having an organization with well over 100 years of combined technical experience and that simply cannot be matched by any one single individual.

If you do have an enterprise with over 100 users, it makes logical sense to outsource your support for large projects and roll-outs in order to avoid training costs for a one-time implementation, or to enhance end-user productivity with Help Desk.  Plus we monitor our networks 24 x 7 x 365 to ensure they are always performing up to spec AND our alert system ensures no “call for help” goes unanswered.  You simply cannot internalize that type of protection against downtime in a cost effective manner.

Outsourcing improves your bottom line.  And you get the added benefits of enhanced technical expertise, remote monitoring and alert notification, better network performance, streamlined support and – last but not least – peace of mind.  And isn’t higher profits and peace of mind what it is all about?
