IT and marketing for small business Tag

02 Apr What should Small Business look for in an IT provider?

Marketing and PR today rely heavily on technology, but often finding the right person or firm to handle your IT needs can be challenging. Mike Holley from Chicago-based Switchfast Technologies provides some excellent advice in this post. Switchfast provides IT solutions uniquely tailored to the needs of small business. Outsourcing is one of the fastest growing trends in the small business world today, and for good reason. By outsourcing parts of their operations, small businesses almost always save money and often end up with higher quality service than they’d be able to afford otherwise. When one considers overhead and training associated with internal hiring, the amount of expertise that can be had for a given budget is much greater with an outsourced partner than a full time employee or team of employees. This is especially true in the field of IT, where quality technicians are paid high wages and it’s nearly impossible for an individual to be an expert in everything.
