Yes! We opened our Kansas City IT Support office in 2001, delivering stress-free IT support to small and mid-sized businesses throughout Kansas City. We serve over 6,000 professionals from organizations in Kansas City, who have users throughout 14 states and 8 countries. With remote help desk, virtual, and on-site IT Support services, we’re able to deploy fast, reliable, and responsive IT service when your local business, satellite offices, and remote workforces are in need.

The basis of IT support for businesses should include proactive network security and support, vendor relationship support, coverage for all of your devices like computers, servers, printers, etc. and responsive, timely support for the people that use them, IT Consulting and ROI strategy support, and Managed IT Services in whatever format and regulations that are best for your business and industry guidelines.

For small and mid-sized businesses, these support roles often fall on one or a small team of people. These people often go on vacation, take time off, cannot simply be in two places at once, and they can only help one person at a time. Only having one or two internal IT support people creates a system that is slow and ultimately, ineffective.

When outsourcing your IT support and managed IT services to a reliable, trusted IT provider like The Purple Guys, you can address these IT problems head on from an entire IT department with 50 heads working together to serve your business and your people. Rather than just one or two employees trying to tackle IT issues that may be outside their realm of knowledge or they simply can’t be responsive in a timely matter when problems build up, an outsourced IT partner can offer highly experienced, dedicated ,and readily available experts to tackle troublesome business IT problems. You get an entire IT department and the IT support you need so you can save time, money, and add productivity, allowing you to focus on the growth of your business, all at a fraction of the cost of an internal team or an hourly project billing IT provider.

Depending on your business size or service offerings, you may need a mix of internal and outsourced IT support. We have a proven record of successfully partnering with internal IT Managers to maximize your IT support and services, where your company can save a substantial amount of time and money and significantly boost productivity and ROI, rather than forming a small internal IT team alone.

Unless it’s your area of expertise, you probably lump everything that happens in your business on any tech device including computers, printers, phones, etc. into a single arena: IT. But that’s not entirely accurate. So, what exactly is IT? What does it mean to outsource your IT support, and what services will the support company provide?

An IT support company can make sure that your platform is secure, remotely accessible, and efficient, remotely managing your IT infrastructure as well as your end-user systems, and some offer more services. But some things fall into the “technology” category that you can’t — and shouldn’t — outsource. Learn more about Outsourcing IT Support for your business.
