Read: 5 Questions to Ask When You Are Evaluating an IT Managed Service Company
Why Are You Asking About Reliability?
Your definition of "reliable" probably depends on what you're getting with your current IT support solution. If you aren't used to quick responses to user issues, "reliable" might mean you want a response within hours instead of days. It might mean that you get timely help with improvement projects. Whatever your reason, there are probably some underlying causes for the lack of response you are experiencing now.
Ask This Instead
What you are experiencing as a reliability problem could result from a need for a proactive approach. As you are talking with different IT providers, ask them how they will work proactively on your behalf to prevent problems from happening in the first place.
Reliability and Workload
The cause of reliability lapses might be that you are outgrowing your current IT support provider. You are getting bigger, or they are taking on more clients without the appropriate increase in their capabilities. Either way, this situation could cause you to suffer from their lack of responsiveness.
The Question You Ask Yourself
When your managed IT services company is not as reliable as you want them to be, you need to ask how this situation affects your focus on your business. The unreliable results include downtime that frustrates customers and employees, security breaches that leave you reeling and unpredictable costs that have you wondering what's next.
Time for a Different Approach
If you want to focus on your business instead of your technology, you need an IT managed services company that will be reliable and strategically align technology to power your business success.
