Knowall IT Support Services that Deliver Business Impact
The majority of companies across the UK are making the move to using IT Managed Services because in turn, the business world is becoming more and more reliant on IT and how it enables a business to be achieve its full potential. For someone currently in their mid-forties, you would have witnessed the growth and development of information technology in your business and work lives, as well as in your personal lives. Those who on the fore-front of the development of IT speak with fondness when remembering the first IBM data processing systems which is said to have weighed some five tons and filled the space of an entire cold room which can these days be dedicated to hundreds of servers, routers and switches. The IBM bragged a storage space of a colossal 16 kilobytes when it was first introduced to the public in 1959! Thought to be the most powerful piece of equipment humans had ever seen in all of history and astounded users around the world.
In the last three decades alone, the world has seen IT become the fastest growing and most innovative industry with unprecedented strides in development. Back in the early 1990’s there was no such thing as the internet and when it first became available to households, anyone who was there to witness that will never forget the wails and squealing sounds made as we waited to hear whether our modem had successfully connected. These days however, one gets frustrated when the internet is off line or if the software on the computer hangs… imagine the patience it used to take in the days of the modem and then you realise just how far IT has brought us.

Always check the email header. If you think its suspicious flag it and alert your IT Provider.
Tip 2 – Hover but don’t click!
Scammers love to embed malware within links in the email copy. The link looks legitimate until you click it and it’s too late. A simple trick is to simply hover you mouse over the link. And take note of the full link displayed. If the full link it looks suspicious rather flag and delete the email.

Your IT Partner in business
Have you ever ordered seafood in a steakhouse? Or prime rib from a seafood restaurant? If you have, then you probably have experienced a poor dining experience and more than likely have left the restaurant wishing that you had ordered the fillet you fancied when you were at the steakhouse, or that calamari you coveted when in the seafood restaurant. As a general rule of thumb, if the restaurant you are frequenting is renowned for a specific type of cuisine, then stick to ordering their specialty and you are certainly more likely to get a more satisfying meal.
In the same way, if your core business isn't IT, why would you do your own IT? Sure, you may have an IT guy who has been supporting your business since inception of your business and who has been called out to your workplace from time to time to disaster manage your email emergencies, or sort out your server when the firewall goes down. Your IT guy is there when you need him but does he proactively attend to your IT issues before problems occur? Are you just moving from one firefighting situation to the next instead of moving forward in your business?
Information Technology is so fundamental to your business that when its not working at optimal performance, chances are, your staff aren't working either and that plays havoc with your profit margins. Any IT downtime doesn’t just cost you to get your IT guy in to investigate and repair the IT issue, but also valuable production time and possibly loss of customer income. The stakes are too high to risk anything less than the best IT support London.
In order to keep your business competitive in a highly aggressive business world, you may then consider creating an IT department and hiring full time technical teams to manage your fundamental information technology. However what you may not realise is how many skills are required to sustain a fully functional IT department. Chances are that you will need more than just one person to replace your IT guy as there are a variety of skills and different expertise required to sustain your company’s IT department. Consider why would you turn your “steakhouse” business into a “seafood” provider, ifyour expertise is preparing and cooking meat?

Aware-winning IT Support Company Knowall IT
What should a company look for when they are looking for a new IT provider? It’s important to understand your business’s IT needs before embarking on the search for an IT support London provider. But as the saying goes “you don’t know, what you don’t know” so where do you start going about finding out what you don’t know, so that you can make the most informed decision? After all, if you were an IT genius you wouldn’t be looking for someone else to assist you with your IT support in the first place!
Your relationship with your IT provider is a very important one, and must be based on a foundation of trust. Any IT service provider worth their salt understands the importance of technology within your business, hopefully, even better than you do and should come with new and innovative solutions to help you to use your IT effectively and efficiently. If there is an easier way to make your business work through the use of technology and innovation, while also saving you money, then why not take advantage of the benefits that they can bring to you and your customers. If your IT service provider is not able to give you the services which you require because of a lack of expertise or due to a lack in hardware or software on their part, then they are not the provider you should be spending time and money on. The key to remember about technology is that it is always improving and innovating, which means that it is easy for a business to get left behind if they do not constantly keep updating their hardware and software. Any suitable IT support company must stay ahead of the pack in order to set themselves apart from the rest or risk becoming as obsolete as a floppy disc.
One of the most important things to look for in your IT Support service provider is whether they have a good reputation in the industry. Knowall IT Support Paddington are recipients of the “Innovation in Business” award at the West London Business Awards, proving that not only do their clients appreciate their reputation as innovators in the service and IT industry, but so too do their peers within the industry in and around the UK. Knowall IT understands that each business has its own specific IT requirements. Taking a stock standard approach to all of their client’s needs would not be cost effective or appropriate for the client. Take for example a payroll company who provides a cloud-based services, experiencing constant downtime and connectivity issues, data loss or virus outbreaks. While this would be detrimental in any business, it would be of even more importance that the Payroll client receives proactive IT support, excellent network and cabling options, and most of all impenetrable firewall and security. This is where Knowall IT Paddington is proactive in ensuring they provide everything that clients thinks they need as well as the things which they did not even know about, proving just why they are award-winning.
