When outsourcing IT services, there are two main options: break/fix services or proactive, managed IT services.

We all want our computers to run smoothly without interruptions that hinder productivity. But how do you optimize your network and systems? Do you wait for issues to arise before calling a technician, or is it better to have a proactive plan that reduces downtime by automatically maintaining computers, servers, and network devices?

When outsourcing IT services, there are two main options: break/fix services or proactive, managed IT services.

Let’s compare the two:

Break/Fix Model:

  • Reactive: You only address problems after they occur.
  • No continuous monitoring of systems, leaving potential issues unnoticed until they become costly.
  • Temporary fixes may not offer long-term solutions.
  • Unpredictable costs fluctuate, making budgeting difficult.

Managed IT Services:

  • Fixed monthly cost for comprehensive IT services.
  • Proactive monitoring and maintenance improve system health and security.
  • 24/7 monitoring, patch management, and enhanced security.
  • Help Desk and Remote Support included.
  • Scalable to grow with your business needs.
  • Access to a team of experts providing customized IT support.

Choosing a Managed Service Provider like ESEI with a fixed cost is the smarter choice for most businesses. For more information on how our Proactive IT Services can stabilize your IT costs, contact ESEI at 915-587-7902 or info@esei.com.
