We won’t use scare tactics like “economic climate” or “downturn”. The fact is that today’s hosting technology can save money for just about all types of business, and cutting costs is always on the agenda - no matter what the state of play. When it comes to third party providers, however, it‘s important to remember that the promise of “saving money” does not always represent the whole picture. It may be the carrot, but who is holding the stick - and does their service actually represent a solid investment? Our white paper will outline the key points you need to know surrounding:
- Technology - is the kit state of the art? Is it cost efficient? Does it meet you precise needs? Will you receive upgrades and software patching?
- Infrastructure - does the provider have a network able to guarantee uptime and speed? Do they have enough Points of Presence to handle heavy traffic?
- Service - will they provide cast iron service level agreements (SLAs)? Do they provide the necessary communication and management processes for your business?
- Adaptability - is the managed hosting package and technology equipped to evolve along with your business, with no hidden costs or nasty surprises?
- Stability - does the provider have the resources to weather any storm, and provide a proven track record of hosting for business like yours? Outsourcing shouldn’t mean compromising on service. It should mean improving on it. Download our white paper, and make sure it does.
