Making IT decisions while balancing the user experience—including their complaints—can be exhausting. As a decision maker for your business, you have a budget to consider, as well as a timeline to manage. You’ll have to say no, which no one likes to hear, but it’s a necessary part of running your organization effectively.
If you want to keep your business profitable, you have to make sure you’re not hemorrhaging funds on unexpected expenses. You have to ensure that any purchases are in line with your budget, but this gets increasingly more difficult to do the more vocal your team becomes about inefficiencies or issues related to their technology.
More often than not, if a user starts to speak out about a problem they have with their technology, they have probably been dealing with that problem for a while already. Nobody likes to be the bearer of bad news, but if your company has applications that routinely fail to live up to users’ expectations, we have to say that it’s likely impacting your profits.
All that said, balancing users’ demands with your business’ needs is far from easy, and it requires a careful analysis of the cost versus the benefit.
Of course, inefficient technology can also cost your organization in lost time and productivity—and time is an asset that you cannot get back.
One way you can assuage your team’s demands is to make tech support as easy and accessible as possible, and we’re here to tell you that you can do this without costing your company an arm and a leg. When you work with Paradigm Tech, you can give your team access to technology professionals who can provide tech support without needing to run it through management.
When you make technical support more accessible and less worrisome for your business, you’re saving them from struggling with inefficiencies. You won’t worry about the per-call costs or the hourly billable time that some companies might charge to your organization. Instead, you can enjoy several benefits, all of which make your business more profitable and less wasteful with its time and resources.
It’s easy to get fast help with your technology challenges. All an employee has to do is submit a ticket or call tech support. There is no need to get prior authorization, and issues can be resolved before they impact other areas of your business.
It’s important that issues involve as few people as possible, as time is of the essence and no one likes to get pulled into situations that they are just not needed to deal with.
If you give your team the power to take action and make their experience with your business more enjoyable, they will produce better work and feel more responsible for their successes and failures. It also helps that they will know they can resolve a problem on their own without having to jump through management hoops.
IT services and contracts can be pricey, but comparatively speaking, working with IT management services is going to be cheaper than the alternatives—especially when you consider that these services can also be implemented in conjunction with ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and security. You can make sure that all of your support needs are taken care of with one easy expense.
We know you don’t have time to authorize every single technology support challenge your team faces day in and day out. Let us help you with our managed services. Learn more by calling us today at (806) 249-4748.
