Mindful of the rewards that outsourcing can bring to many companies, Intogreat has initiated a brand-new service: outsourced IT support services.
First, we’re going to take a look at the benefits of outsourced IT support — with a particular focus on the Philippines — and later we’ll be having a chat with Jovey Chua, Intogreat’s head of IT infrastructure and security.
The Benefits of IT Outsourcing
Reduced Costs
Outsourced IT support services reduce your salary bill because you won’t be paying for permanent IT staff; only the amount required to maintain your systems. You will also see a significant drop in equipment and maintenance costs as a professional third-party outsourcing company is responsible for providing and updating its own hardware and software.
Higher Quality
The Philippines has more than 700,000+ graduates from universities and colleges joining the workforce every year. The country’s diverse educational programs provide the Philippine talent pool with highly educated, job-ready graduates possessing IT, technical and soft skills, and ready to commit to offshore IT services for your business.
Enhanced Productivity
Filipinos are also hard-working, results-oriented and can collaborate well with your onshore team to ensure productivity and efficiency. Filipinos are focused on career growth, which means a consequent excellence in implementing and improving KPIs.
Greater Flexibility
The ability to adapt to fast-moving technologies and innovations in the world of IT requires an agile and skilled workforce, such as that found in Intogreat’s Filipino offshore IT services team. In times of geopolitical upheaval, flexibility is crucial, and Intogreat specializes in adapting to dynamic environments and resolving mission-critical issues to help our clients grow and achieve their bottom-line.
Strengthened Security
Information is power; and it is critical for every business that their sensitive data is kept safe, secure and confidential. Outsourced IT support has proved to be a smart move for companies in areas such as preventing cyber-attacks. When you choose outsourced IT support services, you will benefit from access to specialized knowledge and skills that can help improve security and compliance levels. Outsourcing also delivers improved scalability, better business continuity and enhanced risk management.
Improved Focus
By outsourcing routine tasks such as maintenance and troubleshooting, your IT team will be able to concentrate their efforts on more worthwhile projects.
Your focus, too, will become sharpened: freed of having to deal with day-to-day concerns about such things as servers and hard drives (which are better left to the experts, anyway), you’ll be able to pinpoint areas and tasks which will help to grow and develop your business.
Staying Ahead
An outsourced IT support team allows your in-house team to keep abreast of developments that might affect your business. Thus, helping your company to stay ahead of the competition by monitoring trends and new developments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Offshoring?
Offshoring occurs offshore or overseas, not locally. When offshoring, you hire staff through an offshore provider to undertake specific roles, usually on a full-time basis. A key difference is that these staff work for you and only you; they work as directed by you and follow your processes and procedures. Essentially, they are your staff, but they come without the added headaches of employment contracts, payroll and HR matters.
It is about having control of your operations while they take place in another country.
