Over the past decade, the number of available services for IT consulting in Seattle has increased dramatically. As a business leader, you already know how difficult it can be to stay on top of the many, ever-changing IT service options available to you, as well as maintain an ongoing understanding of what tech your organization needs to succeed.
That’s why we’re here to lend a hand.
After nearly 20 years of IT consulting in Seattle, we gotta tell ya: We’ve learned a few things about what businesses like yours need for tech services… and we’ve also learned which services are a total waste of your time and money.
Save time by tapping into our knowledge and enjoy this list of the top 10 IT services for Seattle’s growing businesses. (We didn’t bother mentioning the money wasters, but you can always contact us and ask!)
When something goes horribly wrong with your IT, you need to make sure you have a reliable partner who will be there when you need them, day or night. Deskside support provides just that, offering around-the-clock emergency computer support, along with hands-on help when you need it.
Support is important for when things go disastrously wrong but, as we all know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Network monitoring and IT administration provide you with the preventative care your systems need to stay healthy at all times.
Large, national IT consulting firms are really good at marketing themselves and getting your attention, and therefore getting your hard-earned money. The downside is that these large, national firms don’t really need your business. When it comes to a question of prioritizing your small-to-midsized business against their larger clients… guess who’s going to get the attention? With a firm that offers small, local IT consulting in Seattle, you’ll get the attention those hard-earned dollars should buy you.
Imagine this: Your company is hit by a ransomware attack and decades of your data is encrypted… which pretty much means it’s gone. Do you: (A) Call your mother and cry, (B) Learn about Bitcoin, pay the ransom, and pray, or (C) Calmly contact your IT consultant, so they can restore your data and get you back to work in as little as 5 minutes. Yeah, Option “C” is totally a thing. (Read about one company who used it in exactly that situation.)
We keep mentioning “disaster striking” (though maybe not always in those words). Think about “disaster” for a moment. If a natural disaster strikes, everyone knows that response time is the most critical element to full recovery. A good IT consultant in Seattle also knows this, which is why they’ll guarantee a fast response time to save your tech.
Renewing and managing software licenses across multiple computers is, let’s face it, a pain in the neck. This is not the sort of activity that you can let slide – but it’s also not the sort of activity that makes money for your business. Let someone else take care of the painstaking licensing details, so you can focus on growing your business.
Where the heck did that Galaxy tablet go? You know, the one that you’re pretty sure you gave to that intern last summer… but they left in the Fall, and now you don’t know where the tablet is. Asset management helps you understand the status and general whereabouts of your tech but it’s a boring and detailed process. Let someone else do it. (Hint: Not an intern.)
Okay, in this scenario, you know exactly what happened to the Galaxy tablet. The intern left it on the Link with all your business data on it. What now? With mobile device management services provided by an IT consultant in Seattle, you can remotely and instantly wipe sensitive data off the tablet, so your business data doesn’t become compromised.
Business technology changes fast. This year, you might be looking into chatbots for your business, next year, maybe we’ll all have holographic humanoid robots to do our accounting for us. (Probably not, but if it exists, Seattle will have it!) Keeping up with all the recent advancements in technology is tough, especially when you’re busy running your business. A CIO On-Demand will provide the advice and guidance you need to ensure you have accurate information about the latest relevant tech.
So, you know what you don’t need? You don’t need a snarky IT consultant in Seattle who tells you after the fact that you shouldn’t have given the Galaxy tablet to the intern, or who informs you “helpfully” that your employee shouldn’t have downloaded the file in the ransomware email. Instead… you need kind, understanding, supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable IT service, around the clock, from cool people you can trust to not make you feel bad.
With kind and knowledgeable IT staff, great strategic advice on-demand, detailed software and asset tracking, a fast response time, one-on-one personalized attention, round-the-clock support and monitoring, and the ability to restore business data within 5 minutes, you’ll have all you need for IT services.
But where can you find a magical company that provides all that service (and more), here in Seattle?
