Ensuring Effective Growth

Ensuring your company has the best chance to grow is not just about getting the right level of business coming in,but also about forward planning and ensuring that you don’t attempt to do too much too soon.It can be easy to get carried away when the good times roll around and assume that such prosperity is likely to simply continue in the same way.

However, by taking on a great deal of extra staff and increasing your business at the first sign of success, you could be puting yourself in a very tricky position should you not be able to keep up the same level of interest. By using valuable resources increasing the size of your company, you may well find that should more austere times come around, you not only have too many overheads, but also not enough cash to get you through.

On top of this, having everything in-house will often lead to reduced efficiency and skill. Take application managed services for instance. If you need enterprise application support, having your own in-house IT team to deal with the problems that arise may seem like a good idea, but in reality the chances are they are unlikely to be needed all the time and therefore a great deal of money may be going to people who have nothing to do for much of the time. On top of this, they are unlikely to have a full knowledge of your exact database.

Conversely, outsourcing enterprise application support will mean that you are only paying for the services you actually use, whilst being sure that the people looking after your application managed services have the full knowledge of the systems you use as well as access to the most effective tools and resources to deal with problems quickly and efficiently.
