Managed IT Services deliver a comprehensive, integrated package to help businesses proactively manage and monitor their Information Technology - networks, servers, desktops, security, backup, recovery, etc. But what if you already have an IT department and don’t need that all-encompassing level of service? That is where Fractional Outsourcing or Fractional IT Services comes into the picture. 

Fractional Outsourcing allows a company to create their own service plan and to select the level of IT services that fit their needs.  Often times this approach is implemented to compliment an in-house IT staff’s needs and requirements.  By integrating specialized skill-sets into your existing IT infrastructure you get to maximize your staff’s efficiency and expertise while advancing your technology. 

How do I know if Fractional Outsourcing is right for me? 

A good place to start is if you recognize any of these common challenges:

When you identify an area of your business related to technology that is diverting focus from strategic initiatives and core competencies - it might be time to re-evaluate your information technology structure.  A “stretched-too-thin” IT department will drain your resources trying to isolate, identify and solve Information Technology challenges.  When you rely on your IT staff to “wear all the hats” you are asking them to develop “on-the-fly” expertise and opening up your business to gaps in performance, efficiency and security.

What if you need to upgrade network devices, servers or desktops but you don’t have the time, expertise or personnel to facilitate the transition?  With Fractional Outsourcing your staff will get the support they need to accomplish the migration and you will get the peace of mind and confidence in knowing the migration was a success.

Maybe you have a training issue? You have terrific personnel but you don’t have the time to keep them up to date on new technologies.  Again, with Fractional Outsourcing you get the support you, and your staff, need.
