Running a small business in California can feel like a juggling act. You’re constantly balancing client needs, managing inventory, and navigating the many regulations that come with operating in the Golden State. And then there’s IT.  Just when you think you’ve got a handle on it, a server crashes, or your company accounts have been breached.

What Does It Mean, to Outsource IT?

Outsourcing IT isn’t just for big corporations anymore. Small businesses have just as much to gain, if not more. Think of it like hiring an expert to handle your taxes. Sure, you could manage them yourself, but wouldn’t you rather have someone who does it for a living?

No need to hire more people, or stretch your in-house IT too thin. Not only does it free you up to focus on your business, but your business stays protected by the people whose business it is to protect you.
