Top 5 Questions to Ask Your IT Provider

Some businesses are not sure when it is time to get an IT provider but if it is that time here are 5 topics to ask when searching around.

1. Recovery
There are many innovative ways to restore data, but believe me, there are many other “innovative” ways to have it lost forever! Ask your IT provider in detail what is being backed up, when, to what, is there enough room on the media, and how long will a full restore take?

2. Certifications
Another question that some may discount as unimportant is do they hold the latest industry certifications. It does prove that they are at the minimum plugged into the latest technologies and systems and will likely be able to back their certifications with solid support. The alternative is even more of an unknown. Do you want to trust an uncertified engineer to get his hands on your data?

3. Do you understand my business?
Each industry has its own set of applications and work differently. It is important to know what vertical markets your provider specializes in. If they have no experience in your vertical it may make sense to look elsewhere for someone who has that experience.

4. What is covered?
It is important to know what is covered and what the limitations are of your provider. With the proper understanding and accurate expectations you can ensure that your IT is completely covered. The technical expertise and comfort level of each IT provider will vary.

5. What is my strategy?
It is extremely important to understand the business and to build the appropriate strategy. Time and money can be wasted going in the wrong direction, sometimes leaving the business in a worse position than when it started.
