Toronto IT Consulting
M.I.T. IT Services & Network Equipment
Do you own and operate a small business? If so you have to wear several hats all at once. Dealing with logistics, product sales, insufficient staff, and network downtimes are just a handful of these challenges.
M.I.T. Consulting can make your job so much easier. One of the biggest factors that small business owners overlook is outsourcing their technical support. This isn’t recommended, considering how much the average business relies on their computer systems to carry out daily operations.
In fact, your business revenues largely depend on whether or not your I.T. infrastructure is properly optimized.
Good Tech Support is the Need of the Hour For Your Business
In 2018, 43% of cyber attacks were on small businesses and only 14% of these businesses were able to offset these risks and protect their networks.
Don’t be on the negative side of this statistic. With a designated I.T. consultant, you will be reducing the possibility of your confidential data being breached by hackers and your operations getting backlogged as a result. There’s only one way to keep sophisticated cybercrime attacks at bay, and that’s by investing in proven and powerful anti-virus solutions.
M.I.T. Consulting comes to the rescue. We analyze your business’s requirements, competitors and industry-specific trends to arrive at the most feasible solutions. We protect you from risks that leave your network vulnerable and consequently, unburden your employees.
How much does it cost to outsource I.T. support?
Managed I.T. support services can drastically vary based on the provider. If we were drawing broad strokes, we would estimate;
- $100-$400 per server
- $50-$100 per workstation
- $30-$75 per firewall
- $15-$40 per switch

Benefits of Outsourcing Your Tech Support
We could go on and on about the amazing benefits of outsourcing your tech support, but you don’t have that kind of time. So instead, we’ll summarize it below;
Saves on Resources and Money
Small business owners, especially, do not have the budget to incur the expenses of an in-house IT team. Not only will these costs be volatile, but they will also rake up when you consider equipment purchases, upgrades, and training.
An outsourced team changes all that. Not only are they capable of solving I.T. issues much quicker, but you will receive more predictable and controlled monthly expenses. Moreover, managed I.T. providers usually come with their own connections to developers, and as such, you will gain access to software upgrades and equipment purchases at more reasonable rates!
Focus on Your Core Business
We live in a world where you, as a business owner, need to innovate and grow so as to develop your company. Distracting yourself with time-consuming tasks like trying to figuring out why your I.T. is malfunctioning – is something you can do without.
Delegate these tasks to companies like M.I.T. that specialize in them. After that? No longer will you have to allocate precious company resources to deal with I.T. issues – just leave it to the experts and focus on growing your business.
End-to-End Services at Your Fingertips
When you approach an experienced I.T. service provider, rest assured knowing that they’ve handled a whole host of tech-related tasks and know the job like the back of their hand. With this wealth of experience, they can help identify and resolve your issues faster – while keeping downtimes to a minimum!
Phenomenal Disaster Recovery
Your company’s data is your most precious commodity. If it were to be compromised in a cyber attack, flood or fire, it would backlog your operations by weeks if not months. A majority of businesses are not equipped for these types of disasters.
With the right tech provider, all that can change! You will be back on your feet that much quicker as these professionals use updated disaster recovery tools and backup software to keep your data out of harm’s way.
