With its new guide, Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS) wants to assist architects looking to embrace customized technology-driven solutions, such as analytics, cybersecurity, and cloud computing support. By partnering with a managed service provider (MSP), they can significantly streamline their tech processes while focusing on their core service, the company says.
ITS explains that architecture firms may consider outsourcing their technology requirements to an expert if they are concerned about compliance and security issues, or if they are pursuing growth but do not yet have the resources to maintain internal IT staff.
With an MSP, firms can stay at the forefront of technological advances without having to personally invest in software and hardware themselves. As such, they can operate at the level of a larger firm without exceeding their budgetary restraints.
For example, an MSP such as ITS can undertake its clients’ cybersecurity and information compliance obligations, providing end-to-end protection from malware, data breaches, and scams.
According to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, approximately 60% of small businesses will close within six months of a cyberattack. As such, preventative measures are essential for architectural start-ups or smaller firms that can easily fall victim to cybercrimes.
Similarly, MSPs can optimize business connectivity by implementing VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) infrastructure and other communication strategies, helping architecture firms maintain productivity and reduce downtime. For projects reliant on collaboration between both remote and office-based workers, cloud computing and managed comms can facilitate teamwork and prevent delays, the guide says.
In addition to achieving operational enhancements and scalability, partnering with an MSP can also help architects keep their IT expenditure predictable. With the certainty of a fixed cost for IT, firms can more accurately calculate project quotes and ensure their profit margins are reasonable for growth, ITS adds.
