Outsourcing IT services can be a great way to streamline operations and reduce costs. However, if your outsourced IT is causing more problems than solutions, it might be time to reconsider your options. In this article, we’ll explore the signs that your outsourced IT has failed you and how Sikich provides dependable IT services to keep your business running smoothly.

Signs Your Outsourced IT Has Failed You

Frequent Downtime: If your business is experiencing frequent downtime due to IT issues, it’s a clear sign that your outsourced IT is not up to par. Your business cannot afford to be down.
Slow Response Times: When IT problems arise, quick resolution is crucial. If your outsourced IT provider is slow to respond, it can lead to prolonged disruptions.
Lack of Expertise: Your IT provider should have the expertise to handle complex issues. If they consistently struggle to resolve problems, it may be time to look for a more capable provider.
Poor Communication: Effective communication is key to successful IT management. If your provider is not keeping you informed or is difficult to reach, it’s a red flag.
