Outsourced IT Services: Infrastructure and Support

IT outsourcing services can represent using a third-party company to do one IT-related task, like IT Security or Disaster Recover, or represent “end-to-end” IT services support. Outsourcing your entire IT environment has become a growing trend in the industry as it will typically lower IT operating costs by 19%- 29% and deliver the following benefits:

  • Free up existing IT staff to focus on core business objectives and projects
  • Provide depth and breadth of IT expertise you don’t have “in-house”
  • Decrease system outages and reduce the impact of any disruption with proactive monitoring and management
  • Gain access to IT management tools and resources your budget prevents you from using
  • Improve your IT system and staff operational efficiency
  • Cut IT capital expenditures making them operating expenses
  • Control your IT budget by contracting for specific services and support
  • Access IT professional staff with advanced training
  • Reduce IT staff costs by only paying for the tasks/skill sets you need when you need them
  • Utilize a suite of IT Security services and tools

Why IT Services Outsourcing?

Outsourced IT services are changing the way businesses manage and operate their information systems. The Synoptek process starts with understanding your business objectives, and how IT can be leveraged to deliver better results for your business. A senior IT executive works with you to develop an overall IT strategy and project plan to align technology, processes, and people with your key business objectives.

The Synoptek Operations Team provides ongoing support for the IT systems required to run your business on a day-to-day basis. Operations support for IT environments is always customized to meet your operational requirements and can be provided on your infrastructure or ours. Synoptek managed IT support offers the following outsourced IT services:

  • Managed Cloud Hosting Services
  • 24×7 U.S.-Based Help Desk Services
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery Services

Synoptek works directly with you, acting as your “outsourced IT department” by managing applications, patching, upgrades, servers, databases, networks, mobile devices, IT security, and end-user support. Let your IT staff focus on accomplishing your core business initiatives while we manage all of the day-to-day IT support activities.

Our delivery model for IT outsourcing services includes:
