Why build yourself:

When it comes to IT solutions, why DIY?

As a small business owner, you know how important IT can be to the success of your company. You may have even spent time updating your knowledge so you can deal with any small issues that arise. But as your business grows, so do your IT requirements. And when that happens, there’s no need to waste your own time researching and implementing new solutions. Focus on efficiency, and speak to the experts.

Play to your strengths

So, you’ve had a great business idea for an app or IT solution. But you may not have the full set of skills necessary to build it, especially if your idea calls on different IT disciplines. What you do have is an unparalleled knowledge of your product to take into new business meetings. Play to your strengths here, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel when there are teams of people ready and waiting to help you realize your dream.

Save time

Any time that you are not spending marketing and expanding your small business is a lost opportunity for sales and growth. As an entrepreneur, your time is best spent developing and marketing your product, not getting weighed down in the technological minutiae and learning every detail or line of code involved. Hire a team to run daily operations while you focus on expanding the product, identifying new growth markets or even thinking up the next big product.

Stay lean

Another option is to build your own internal IT department, but it takes time to recruit and train employees, as well as money with hiring costs and wages. Even when you have built out your department, issues may arise that your team still need to look for external help with, while some members may sit idle when their skill set isn’t called upon. Rather than creating a whole team of staff, work with a ready-made team who have over 50 years combined experience across multiple fields.

Work with the best

While you are working on building your business, you want to know that your idea is being brought to life in the best way possible. It’s no good marketing a product that doesn’t work, so you need a team you can rely on to build a best-in-class app or website. This means you can walk into your next sales meeting or pitch knowing that you have a product that works, and be able to provide live demonstrations without worrying about errors.
