What is Desktop Support?

What is Desktop Support?

IT support is imperative to any business. Your networks, servers, devices, software – everything relies on structured IT support to run at its best.

It can cost a business a lot of money to run its managed IT services. Employees with those skills make high salaries. And to maintain your equipment properly, you need round-the-clock availability, not just when something breaks.

GUT Consulting can help. We can create a plan to help run your IT services with our technicians and specialists, maintaining your systems 24/7. Call today for a quote from our managed services department and see how we can help improve your remote desktop support.

Necessity of desktop support

Your network, systems, and devices are the heart of your business. The more technology-driven your business, the more necessary keeping the highest optimization of operations is.

Having technical support specialists in remote access and desktop information technology (IT) can monitor and manage systems and networks 24/7, saving you the expense of full-time employee salaries and benefits.

That kind of routine maintenance will keep your systems running more smoothly and prevent costly downtime.

Managed services will improve your customer service and keep employees connected when they need to be, wherever they need to be.

Benefits of outsourcing IT services

There are many benefits to outsourcing your desktop support and IT services.

• Always available — GUT Consulting specialists and technicians can monitor and manage your networks, systems, software and devices 24/7.
• Cost-saving — Running an in-house IT department can be more costly than contracting services when you factor in high salaries and benefits of capable and skilled technicians.
• Routine maintenance — This can prevent unnecessary or lengthy downtime. Technicians are better able to identify pressure points or potential data breaches quickly and execute plans to get systems back up and running.
• Preventing downtime — which can be costly. When a system is down, a website could be affected and keep customers from accessing it. Your employees could be without remote access from a job site to complete work.
• Improve efficiency — Specialists can provide well-rounded approaches to managed services and plan for efficiencies to improve processes from sales to customer service.

What is Information Security’s Importance?

It takes more than an antivirus installation to keep cybersecurity threats at bay. GUT Consulting can assess your business’s needs and manage a plan to protect what you need.

What can threaten my business’s information and security?

Several threats to your information include ransomware, spyware and viruses. Your business can be breached by phishing scams or sophisticated hackers, creating a data breach for your business.

Phishing schemes perpetrate digital fraud, usually from emails of imposter accounts. The data breach can be used most often for identity theft or access to banking information.
