FAQs

Many small businesses view the cost to hire full-time IT staff as excessive. Even when there is no cost justification for a small business to hire full-time IT staff, they still need some IT support.

As a result, top executives and upper management often provide many of the network administration and help desk services typically supplied by internal IT staff in other businesses.

Although this is often viewed as a cost savings, executive or management staff time is
expensive and handling IT problems is a distraction that can reduce their ability to provide
strategic direction.

Furthermore, casual system administration by unqualified part-timers often exacerbates problems in a small business already fragile infrastructure.
