INTELLIGENT NETWORK SERVICES BUILDS SMALL BUSINESSES WITHOUT BREAKING
THE BANK
San Jose, CA – May 30, 2007 – “Contracting IT
support for a small business is a very smart decision, unless the
core competency of the business is in IT,” says Thomas Burns,
founder of Intelligent Network Services. “Building a small
business is hard work. Especially in the early days of the company,
a few people are trying to do everything. Our experience is that
these are the kinds of people who create new products or services.
They are not the people with the breadth of technology knowledge
to build their own infrastructure.”
In a world in which new technologies emerge daily, keeping up with
change is a full time job. Knowing which systems and which applications
will meet the needs of a growing business in the present and in
the future requires knowledge, experience, and technological skills.
Unfortunately, none of that is free. There are three ways to respond
to the need of a small business for technology infrastructure.
(1) Try to do everything with the existing staff. This usually
means the founder of the company goes to a computer store, explains
the perceived needs of the business, buys the recommended hardware
and software, and then tries to make everything work.
(2) Hire a team of experienced, knowledgeable IT professionals.
This option requires both time and money. The company must find
qualified people, hire them, provide work space and equipment, and
pay salary, social security, benefits, etc.
(3) Contract with an IT services company, such as INS. The IT services
company allows the company principals to create and sell products
and/or services and grow the business while they design the best
system for the current and future needs of the business, install
equipment, set up systems, applications, websites, and create the
networks and connections that allow everything to work smoothly.
The first option is almost guaranteed to be a road to disaster.
The second option will probably break the bank. But hiring an IT
services company will probably prove to be the most efficient and
cost-effective solution to the technology needs of a small business.
Contracting with an IT services company like INS provides the best
fit of technology with business objectives, and eliminates the need
for small business principals to worry.
