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?
