Most small business owners wouldn’t consider hiring a full-time CPA or Attorney. Yet, both of these trusted advisors are critical parts of your team.
In the same way, hiring a full-time IT staff person is often expensive and unnecessary. Managed IT companies, like CompuWorks, fill this void.

A small business owner/executive is generally focused on its core products and services, running a profitable enterprise, keeping staff productive, and customers happy. They know IT is crucial but often need guidance to make critical big-picture technology decisions with strategic impact. Most small businesses that decide to hire IT staff hire technical. people who probably don’t have the experience or organizational background to guide strategic IT planning. The skills and expertise needed to guide technology planning and strategy are very different from the technical skills necessary to implement and support those systems. The result can be poorly planned and budgeted systems that don’t effectively support the organization’s mission.
Small organizations do not have the IT career paths to keep talented professionals engaged. Talented and ambitious individuals will need to move on to advance their careers. As a result, most small to mid-sized businesses find that they are on an almost continuous cycle of hiring IT talent. Turnover is costly and often comes at inopportune times, causing disruption and leaving the organization without IT resources.
With zero unemployment in the IT sector, turnover is inevitable and leads to frequent disruption. One effect of high turnover is a lack of long-term technology vision and consistency. Each successive IT staffer will bring their own experiences and opinions with them and often want to move your technology into their comfort zone. Over time it is easy to wind up with unwieldy systems that are unnecessarily time-consuming to support.
When considering results and alternative approaches, hiring staff is often the most expensive way to get IT expertise and resources.
Since it is unlikely that you will find a single IT person with all of the expertise that you need and since IT demands often occur in cycles, you’ll need to budget for outside assistance in addition to your IT staff.
