IT outsourcing vs an in-house IT person: costs, risks and when each makes sense
We compare IT outsourcing with an in-house IT employee: real costs, risks and skills, and when a company should choose one model, the other or a mix.
Managed IT services (IT outsourcing) means an external partner looks after a company's computers, servers, network, email and user support. netgroup takes over day-to-day IT: we monitor systems, fix issues remotely or on site, run backups and plan upgrades so your team can work without interruptions.
