(PRWEB) June 26, 2008 -- The Internal IT department 'model' has become an expensive and ineffective dinosaur. Companies such as IT Computer Support of New York have developed cost-effective managed services to help businesses lower the cost of IT management.

Outsourcing IT functions to managed services specialists cut IT costs by 30%-60% while providing superior service and support. Outsourcing IT support provides businesses, whether small, medium or large, with technological advantages without the usual costs associated with retaining in-house IT staff. Consider the costs and expenses of an in-house IT department:

? On-going technical training on hardware, software, PC's, Mac's, new technology, data centers, switches, PDA's, Laptops, desktops, firewalls, back-ups, smart-ups, email, spam filters, security?

? Cost for taxes and benefits

? Cost for a place to sit

? Cost to provide the new employee with equipment

? Cost to hire (search firms, evaluate resumes, interviews)

How can an executive know how to formulate questions to interview, hire and evaluate a competent IT employee? Even if a competent match is found, the new hire can't be expected to provide support 24/7 - 365 days a year. Also, one person, no matter how expensive, good or even-tempered, cannot provide the broad-based quality experience of a managed, competent and knowledgeable team.

Outsourcing IT Support provides a professional team specialized in IT service and support. Companies have cut their IT costs, improved their IT performance and gained competitive advantage through wise selection and use of technology by outsourcing IT support to specialists.
