The IT Department: Staying operational is not a luxury. It’s essential.

IT is needed to conduct business and stay in business. A good IT department will make it possible for everyone to do their job and keep the organization active, viable, and most importantly, in business. In today’s world, next to the President/CEO, the IT department is arguably the most essential role in any organization because IT keeps all other functions efficient, competitive, and operational.

Without proper security, an organization is more likely to fall victim to cyberattacks like ransomware, which could cost thousands of dollars and lost data. With 7 percent of businesses closing their doors because of ransomware attacks alone, preventing the possibility of cyberattacks needs to be top of mind for all organizations.

In the modern business world, all organizations cannot afford to operate without an IT department.

Cybersecurity alone makes an IT team essential for every business. Unfortunately, today it’s no longer a matter of “if” a successful cyberattack will hit you; it’s “when” you will be hit. Without an experienced team of IT professionals in place, the cost of a successful attack could be catastrophic.

Given the necessity of an IT department created by the modern world, many organizations have only a few choices to invest their IT budget. Often, the decision for SMBs is between hiring a single professional or a team of specialists. In today’s complex IT landscape, it’s not enough to have a single IT “general practitioner.” A single IT person cannot provide the well-rounded, quality of service that an entire team can offer. Every organization needs a team of specialists.

Hiring an entire department for the average small to medium-sized business is a daunting task and likely cost-prohibitive. Likewise, a single, qualified, in-house IT person can cost an organization $60,000+ per year.
