Partnering with a Business IT Solution Company in Singapore a Smart Move?

A typical business organization needs ERP systems, email solutions, cloud accounting software, IT setup expertise, round the clock IT support etc. Can you manage to compare, select and finally work with so many companies on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis? The answer to this question is ‘NO’ for each small or medium scale business that cannot afford to have a team of people just to handle vendor communications or work with IT consultants on a daily basis.  

Nearly all medium and large scale product and service companies have a web presence today. So, it is not really hard to find and get in touch with one.

Businesses today are just a click away.

The problem, however, is that you cannot and should not try working with multiple service providers and/or product companies at once.

That is not the smart way ahead if you are not an IT expert yourself. 

The smart way, as an experienced businessman, having learned his lessons the hard way would put is to ‘partner’ with a business IT Solutions Company in Singapore.

Why, you’d ask!

Well, a dedicated company that specializes in business IT solutions may not necessarily be able to have everything you need under its own umbrella but it can assist in you many areas. It’s much like a dedicated team of experts at your service.

You name it - they’ll help you get the best deal and even assist you in making a good use of it.

Let’s understand it through an example.

If you need cloud based accounting software for your sales professionals in Singapore, you won’t have to deal with the cloud service provider directly. You can just place a request with a business IT consultant at your partner company in Singapore and s/he will take care of different aspects including but not limited to the following:

• Requirement analysis

• Recommending suitable products/services and providing a thorough comparative analysis

• Educating you on pros and cons of different services in case they do not have a proprietary product/web-service  

• Configuring the service subscribed to (or the product purchased/licensed) and ensuring it’s smooth functioning all through the year (or the time for which partnership with a business IT solution company in Singapore is active)

• Suggesting upgrades or changes as and when required (in accordance with ongoing technological advancements or varied organizational needs)
  

While the support center of cloud accounting service provider may certainly help you on some occasions, you’d still need someone with enough tech know-how at your end to handle communications.

With a dedicated business IT Solution Company, however, you can be assured of the fact that you’ll either get the required service directly or through another service provider. In any case, your IT related business needs would be met. 

The above example and analysis is not necessarily applicable to large organizations as their requirements are often complex. They usually need a dedicated IT department in-house even when they outsource most of their information technology needs to multiple companies. Small and medium scale businesses, however, do not have complex IT requirements and they can’t afford to have an in-house team of IT experts either.
