Join thousands of businesses that have turned to outsourced IT


In this digital age, an organisation without reliable IT staff is left open to cyberattacks, system failures, and other technology problems that can bring productivity to a halt. A business doesn’t need an office stocked with hundreds of workstations to feel the squeeze of poorly-managed IT - even a single failed hard drive or compromised desktop can spell disaster.


Many businesses lack the resources to staff an in-house IT department, so more and more organisations are turning to outsourced IT as a solution. They’re finding that working with providers like Orbital10 is not only more cost effective, but leads to better security and more reliable technology overall.


Instant Expertise


Hiring an IT person onto your staff can be a challenge in itself. Does your candidate have the required knowledge and experience to handle the myriad IT needs specific to your business? Are you even sure what those needs are?


When you outsource your IT, you don’t need to roll the dice. You’ll gain instant access to a broad range of technology expertise as well as a team that’s familiar with adapting to your business’ unique needs.


Stronger Security


Without enough IT manpower, an organisation is often left wide open to cyberattacks. If that happens, research from the National Cyber Security Alliance shows that there’s a 60% chance your company will never recover and will shut down permanently within 6 months.


By outsourcing your IT, you’re putting security in the hands of experts who are familiar with assessing your cybersecurity needs, deploying the right tools, and watching over your data.


No Hiring Process


There’s no need to spend countless hours and money worrying over talent when your MSP has done it all for you. They’ve invested heavily in their staff of experts. When you outsource your IT access to top IT talent is always a phone call away.


No Need to Train IT Staff


Hiring new staff is challenging enough, but when it comes to the ongoing training and management of an in-house IT team, the obstacles really start to mount up. How should continuing training be handled? How do you measure the team’s performance? What proactive tasks should they be focusing on, and where are their labour hours best spent?


When you outsource IT to a managed service provider, all of these questions disappear.


Cost Savings


Skilled IT professionals are constantly in demand, thus costly to add to the payroll. The outsourcing alternative turns the budget in your favour, as managed IT providers work hard to provide value and can deliver competitive pricing based on economy of scale.


Easy Scaling


Scaling an in-house IT team typically means hiring or laying off staff. When you’re outsourcing your IT, scaling is a simple matter of changing your agreement to accommodate fewer/more employees or different technology.


Co-Managed IT is an Option


It’s important to note that outsourcing isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition. Businesses with in-house IT teams can (and often do) supplement the department with managed IT services.


For instance, an organisation may outsource their cybersecurity or data backup needs to an outside provider; this leaves their in-house IT free to focus on day-to-day tasks and reduces hardware and labour costs.
