Managing IT has become exponentially more expensive and risky. While it is virtually impossible to insulate your organization totally from cyberware and ransomware, having a solid Cloud strategy with Managed IT Services greatly reduces your risk.
Outsourcing your key hardware components to the Cloud means your key operating systems are always up-to-date. Turnover in IT staff can cause security issues. Relying on an organization like Microsoft to maintain your hardware, systems, and data reduces this risk in many ways.
In our conversations with organizations seeking managed IT services, we often hear that people want “control over their data” and they don’t trust the security of having their data on the Cloud. We’ve seen that even larger companies struggle to keep up with the pace of technological change and to protect themselves from those with evil intent.
In these troubled times, would you rather trust your systems and data to an organization with essentially unlimited budgets providing the latest hardware and the most qualified people, or to your limited IT department?
ODT Managed IT Services for customers moving key systems to the Cloud
In response to these challenges, Open Door Technology (ODT) offers Managed IT Services for customers interested in moving their key systems to the Cloud. The goal here is to handle network headaches for small to mid-size organizations. Having a Cloud solution allows you to get rid of most or all of your servers.
With ODT Managed IT Services you can forget about server patches, daily backups, database maintenance, system uptimes, and virus protection. ODT Managed IT Services eliminates these tasks while allowing you to pay as you go. In relying on Microsoft Azure services, we have the benefit of all the resources of Microsoft while providing you with the personalized services needed for your organization.
