| Managed Services Help You Thrive |
| Increase agility, reduce costs, speed adoption of technologies |
 |
For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) struggling to
offer competitive salaries and benefits, good employees can be hard to keep. Some have discovered that
using managed network services helps them retain valuable employees.
Managed network services provide many advantages to SMBs. Typically the service provider
designs, implements, installs, and maintains one or more major network functions. The ability to
keep and attract employees is just one benefit.
SMBs also gain:
- Technology expertise at predictable, affordable monthly rates
- 24-hour management of network services
- Manage rapid business growth while keeping a small staff
- Freedom to focus on core competencies
- Enhanced productivity
- Reduced network and communications costs
- Rapid access to new technologies without needing in-house expertise
- Increased agility to respond to business conditions

| Did you back up your data today? |
|
Taking a do-it-yourself approach is not always the best
idea, especially when you're dealing with a process as vital as backing up data that can
play an important role in your organization's value.
In-house backup can be expensive, requiring personnel and equipment. It can be time-consuming,
taking your IT staff away from other strategic functions. And it doesn't always work. Backup
software can be misconfigured, tapes can be lost or misplaced and errors are not always discovered
before it's too late.

|
|
By Dee Griffin Sheing

system console for our iSeries, we ran into a somber situation causing some unexpected downtime. Being a healthcare
facility providing 24 x 7 patient services this was intolerable.
