Why are Businesses prepared to stick with antiquated break fix IT services?
Many IT support companies claim to have a proactive approach to delivering IT services. But does that mean logging on to servers once in a while to check the event logs? Or manually checking the virus pattern date by eye? Some help is better than no help, but in truth any business employing ad hoc IT services is running a big risk of a major IT disaster.
At Focus IT, making the shift away from "break-fix" IT services is easily the best decision we have ever made. No more running around with heads buried in the sand (if that's physically possible) and blissfully unaware of whatever IT disaster might be lurking round the corner. The visibility we have gained is truly ground breaking. We can now predict a physical disk failure before it happens.
With our Managed IT Services Portfolio gaining momentum and adding new features every day we have the time to deliver what clients really want and, importantly, give them complete peace of mind. So back to my original question - why are some businesses prepared to stick with antiquated break fix services?

Managing Director, Harry Edwards, joins the CIS
The Centre for Internet Security (CIS) is a not-for-profit organization that helps enterprises reduce the risk of business disruptions resulting from inadequate technical security controls. The CIS provides enterprises with resources for measuring information security status and making rational security investment decisions.
We have joined the CIS primarily to increase our overall awareness of the kind of hardening standards required by clients who are aiming for PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliancy. As well as this it gives us an even more detailed insight into security and procedures operated by the strongest businesses.
