The internet has become a hacker paradise as many companies take a lackadaisical approach to cybersecurity. Having both antivirus software which can block or remove malware and having access to remote tech support, greatly minimizes these risks.

Antivirus software is a must but it has its limitations. A company providing remote tech support help can:

Save money with a subscription

Technical support services often are billed monthly and can include an unlimited number of incidents that happen while under service.

This subscription model is thousands of dollars cheaper than hiring someone full time or per individual repair. When someone comes onsite you have no idea what to expect. It might be a 5-minute fix but they charge for the full hour or several hours of work only to reach a dead end with a hardware failure. Make no mistake though, you will be billed for their time even if a solution isn’t reached.

A subscription-based tech support plan is a great way of cutting costs.

You Could be more efficient?

When you’re a small business owner you want the flexibility to work at any time and anywhere in the case of emergency.

To work as efficiently as possible under these conditions you need a firm understanding of cloud computing and what software suites like Office365 can offer.  You need communication across your company to flow smoothly, documents which need collaboration to be easily shared, and a few technical issues along the way as possible. Having someone in your corner providing the remote tech support help is your shortest path to those goals.

Is your business growing?

Growing businesses often encounter issues with technology when scaling up. The larger you get the larger your current security holes get.

Keep in mind that as you grow your business, the target on your back also grows. The reward for exploiting a company’s data only becomes more lucrative the bigger they get. Outsourcing these potential scaling headaches only becomes more inviting as time goes on. To be frank, unless you run an IT company, IT security is not your wheelhouse. If you want experts handling your expansion then you should look into outsourcing your IT support instead of attempting to handle these problems internally.

So Who Do You Look For?

Check Reviews

The internet has made it extremely easy for current customers to share their experience with a company. For some businesses, online reviews are their downfall. Some customers will never even entertain the thought of working with a company that has poor reviews. And rightly so! As a consumer, customer reviews are the best insight you have about your potential experience. Slick marketing and great pricing don’t really matter if a company doesn’t deliver in the end.

Google Reviews: The Gold Standard

Rush Tech Support for example has 151 reviews with an average of 4.9 stars. That means 151 separate customers took their time to post a glowing review of their interactions with Rush Tech Support. It’s common for even well-established companies to only have 10 or 15 reviews. But the fact that 151 customers saw the need to share their experience we must be doing something right.
