Sometimes it can be hard to know when it’s time to embrace managed IT. There’s a lot to consider and a lot of variables to weigh–but when it comes to your law firm, you want only the best, so you need to know how to make an informed decision. Today, we’ll look at some critical signs that it’s time to make the call.

Red Flags

IT solutions are a necessity for businesses big and small, but some companies are in greater need than others. How can you know if it’s time to embrace the proactive service, timely maintenance, advanced security, and professionalism of managed IT? If any of the following “red flags” sound familiar, then the answer is now is the time.

Frustrating, expensive downtime

If your IT department is always struggling to solve problems and leaving the rest of your law firm with nothing to do but wait, then you’re wasting time and money. That’s a big sign that managed IT is the solution you need.

Incomplete or weak security

Law firms are at specialized risk from digital threats because hackers often target smaller businesses with a lot of sensitive information. If you often worry about the safety of your data, your clients’ personal information, and your technology as a whole, then you could benefit from the advanced security measures offered by managed IT.

High expenses

Overly high expenses are always a sign of a problem–especially when it comes to IT. Yes, tech can be pricey, but it certainly shouldn’t break the bank. When you start paying too much for in-house IT support, you know you need a more cost-effective option.

Unmet goals

Does your IT hold you back? Are goals going unmet because your hardware or software is anchoring your success? Don’t let tech stop you. Managed IT can help you put every machine and program to work for you.
