Technology is great - WHEN IT WORKS
Right? Why does it feel like something is always broken or needing updated in technology? Why are we constantly fighting to get technology to work for us and make our lives easier?
Modern Technology is Complex
To keep your business IT working like a well-oiled machine, you need a team of highly skilled engineers with diverse expertise. You need engineers that are constantly challenged with new information and new products. You need security architects that are ever aware of new malware, exploits, and other ways to hack networks. You need experienced people that know the old machines as well as the bleeding edge machines and how to make all that “IT stuff” work together. And if you’re lucky enough to finally reach that magical point of technology perfection, it won’t last long since technology is constantly evolving. Sigh.
For most companies, having a small team of amazing tech engineers isn’t enough. Today’s engineers are overwhelmed and being held to unreasonable expectations. It’s simply too much. No one IT guy can be an expert at everything. No one IT gal can be constantly up to date while working the same job in the same environment for years. Even the best of the best are getting burned out.
How do we get out of this mess?
Network as a Service, also known as NaaS, is the future of business IT. Instead of buying equipment and constantly maintaining it, companies can use a subscription IT service.
Most companies wouldn’t imagine handling their own landscaping department or HVAC team. We don’t maintain mowers, we don’t repair our own roofs, and we certainly don’t need to know how to install a new furnace at our offices. We hire specialists to come in and do the job with their equipment. We trust these companies to be experts in their field. We pay them to do their job so we can focus on doing our job.
Simplify IT
While we will most certainly always need an IT person, or maybe even a team of IT people, at a business, it’s time to look for outside experts to provide safe, secure, and simple technology. Subscription based technology, known as NaaS in the technology world, is the solution. Whether it’s just part of your network, like just the WiFi, or whether it’s the whole technology shebang, NaaS is the path your business needs to explore.
