The Real Cost of IT Downtime

"IT issues should not feature in your day. Technology should just work. If we do our job right we will be almost invisible... we strive for invisibility", this quote from our CEO and Founder Jeff Dodd comes from years of experience working with a number of businesses all of which wanted the same thing, their IT to just work. IT downtime will incur large costs, reduce productivity, lowered reputation and the potential loss of important data.

Why IT Consultancy Can Be Massively Beneficial

No matter the size or industry, the rate at which information technology influences business operations is rapidly increasing. When we speak about information technology we are also speaking about innovation as they go hand in hand and drive each other forward. Technologically expanding can be a complex and time-consuming task, more businesses than ever rightfully feel their time would be better spent on the core of their businesses and therefore choose to get consultancy from an experienced IT partner, and for good reason.

Looking to Reduce Your IT Expenditure? Here's How...

Energy costs have increased, reliable staff have become harder to find and hardware is more expensive, because of this, budgeting has become a top priority for businesses this year. Whilst saving money is a priority, any serious business understands the importance of technology in their organisation. Finding the perfect balance between costs and technological effectiveness is an intimidating task. Using our 16+ years of IT management experience we've put together these ways your business can reduce its IT expenditure without sacrificing effectiveness.

In-House VS Outsourced IT, Which is Better For You

These days it's unlikely that any business can survive and succeed without technology. When companies look to expand technologically, they will have two choices, do they take on the burden of implementing, heavily investing and managing their IT in-house, or do they choose to outsource this task to a trusted Managed Service Provider? Whilst both can be viable options the needs and size of your business will play a big part in which option would be best for you.

Local IT Support On A National Level

After starting entrust IT, Jeff & Matthew Dodd, the founders, quickly learned that when dealing with IT support providers, companies value that ‘local feel’ of a close-by organisation. Whilst we have grown significantly since the companies start in 2006, we have strived to keep that feeling on a national level and always treat our customers as if they're ‘just down the road’. Whilst being ‘down the road’ can’t always be the case, we pride ourselves on consistently delivering a bespoke support service that takes the time to understand your company and looks after it proactively, not reactively.

8 Steps to Starting an IT Project

Technology continues to ingrain itself as an essential part of how businesses efficiently run their operations, and therefore the need to plan and execute IT projects is inevitable. Unfortunately throughout our 15 years of experience working with a variety of businesses, we’ve noticed that many have trouble knowing where to start; or, how to effectively plan for the expansion of their IT infrastructre in corralation to the growth, and success of their business long term. This is understandable, technology is so expansive and knowing where/how to start can be a daunting task; and with a study by BCG finding that 70% of all IT projects fail, it seems without the right project plan in place things can quickly fall apart.
