As a small business, you’re understandably looking to save money wherever possible, and so may well be looking at providing your IT support internally for all users.
What’s more, again as a smaller organisation, you may be contemplating focusing on employing a single engineer. However, there are likely to be some potential issues with this, including the headache of what happens when that key person is on holiday, off sick or eventually decides to move on from your company?
