SMBs have numerous barriers when it comes to having the most up-to-date, efficient IT systems. The cost of equipment and staff to manage it is often more expensive than many can afford and so companies will limit IT spending to ‘keeping the lights on’.
What some are finding, however, is that they can’t afford to not have the most reliable and secure systems in place.
Over 1 in 4 SMBs say they have lost revenue due to IT-related issues, so it makes sense that, according to a recent survey of 1100 SMBs, 29% already outsource some or all of their IT systems to third-party experts.
