Frequently asked questions about managed IT services.
Is my company the right size for managed IT services?
Determining if your company is the right size for managed IT services hinges on several key factors: the complexity and scale of your current IT infrastructure, budget considerations, the level of IT expertise available internally, your business growth trajectory, security and compliance needs, and the level of IT support required.
However, managed IT services can offer cost-effective solutions, scalability, expertise in cybersecurity and compliance, and round-the-clock support, making it suitable for companies of various sizes.
What does "managed IT services" even mean?
Managed IT services involve outsourcing IT functions to a third-party provider who manages and maintains a company’s IT infrastructure and systems. This allows businesses to access specialized expertise, cost-effective solutions, and proactive monitoring, ensuring efficient operations and cybersecurity while freeing up resources to focus on core objectives.
Our managed IT services are structured around a single ongoing service fee. This means your costs for IT support are highly predictable and your solutions can be scaled based on the needs that your business has. By becoming a managed IT service customer with AlphaKOR, you can strategically plan your operational future.
Are AlphaKOR's managed IT services packages customizable to my needs?
Yes our packages are customizable! Because no two companies are the same. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, we tailor our solutions to fit your specific needs, ensuring that you get the most out of our services. Our team works closely with you to assess your current IT infrastructure, identify pain points, and understand your long-term goals. We develop a customized plan that addresses your IT challenges while aligning with your budget and growth objectives.
Why is it so important for a business to backup their data?
Data backups are crucial for businesses because they serve as a safeguard against various threats that could lead to data loss or corruption. This includes cyberattacks, hardware failures, human errors, natural disasters, and software malfunctions. Without proper backups, businesses risk losing critical information, such as customer records, financial data, intellectual property, and operational documents, which can have devastating consequences for operations, reputation, and compliance.
Furthermore, data backups enable businesses to recover quickly from disruptions and minimize downtime, ensuring continuity of operations and mitigating financial losses. In the event of a data breach or system failure, having reliable backups allows organizations to restore their systems and data to a previous state, reducing the impact on productivity and revenue.
Will technicians come to my office/onsite if I have a technical issue?
Yes! AlphaKOR’s onsite team of technicians is the backbone of our service delivery. Whether you require troubleshooting, hardware installations, network optimizations, or ongoing maintenance, our onsite team is equipped with the expertise and tools to ensure seamless operation. With a focus on prompt response times and personalized service, we strive to be your trusted IT partner, providing the hands-on support you need to keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.
What is cloud infrastructure and what does it mean to take my business to the cloud?
Cloud infrastructure refers to a virtual environment comprised of interconnected servers, storage, and networking resources hosted remotely by a cloud service provider. It enables users to access and utilize computing resources on-demand via the internet, offering scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for hosting applications, storing data, and running various workloads. In comparison to on-premise network infrastructure, no serious hardware is required to be in-office to run your network.
When you hear the statement “take my business to the cloud,” we are referring to cloud migrations! There are steps we take as IT experts to ensure minimal downtime, data loss, and operational impact when moving a network to the cloud.
What is the difference between regular IT services and managed IT?
In summary, managed IT services provide comprehensive, proactive, and scalable IT support delivered by external experts, while regular IT involves internal management of IT resources and is often more reactive in nature. The choice between the two depends on factors such as budget, IT requirements, expertise, and the level of control desired by the organization.
What is IT staff augmentation?
IT staff augmentation involves hiring external IT professionals to supplement in-house teams temporarily or for specific projects, bridging skill gaps and meeting project deadlines without committing to long-term contracts. This approach offers flexibility, allowing companies to scale their IT capabilities efficiently, respond to changing technology needs, and access specialized skills without the overhead of permanent hiring. By partnering with experienced IT staffing firms, organizations can ensure access to top talent, enhance project outcomes, and achieve strategic objectives effectively.
What are the benefits of outsourcing my IT department?
Outsourcing IT management offers numerous benefits for businesses, including access to specialized expertise, cost savings, and increased efficiency. By partnering with AlphaKOR, companies can tap into our team of skilled professionals with diverse knowledge and experience, ensuring that their IT systems are well-maintained and up-to-date.
Additionally, outsourcing IT management can result in significant cost savings compared to hiring and training an in-house IT team, as it eliminates the need for salary expenses, employee benefits, and ongoing training costs.
What is mobile device management? What devices are covered by AlphaKOR?
Mobile device management (MDM) is a comprehensive approach to securely managing and controlling mobile devices. It involves deploying software and policies to monitor, secure, and support mobile devices throughout their lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, application management, and remote troubleshooting. MDM solutions enable IT administrators to enforce security protocols, manage device settings, distribute applications, and remotely wipe data in case of loss or theft, ensuring compliance with corporate policies and regulatory requirements while maximizing productivity and protecting sensitive information.
AlphaKOR’s mobile device management covers a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables devices, handheld scanners, and any other devices within the organization’s network.
