Managed IT Services Gives You Access to Unbiased Technology Experience

Mainstream Technologies provides Unbiased Tech Expertise and Leadership(January 4, 2020) In an age of rapid digitalization, chief executive officers, chief financial officers and other members of the C-suite require a much better understanding of business technology.  Managed IT Services gives them access to unbiased technology experience.

In a recent survey of more than 4,000 executives from 120 countries, the MIT Sloan School of Management found that only 9 percent are confident they alone possess the skills necessary to lead their companies in a digital economy.  A knowledgeable MSP can play a vital role by providing expertise, insight, and direction regarding strategic technology initiatives.

Technology as a Business Driver

Recent studies by Gartner found that organizations are recruiting more C-suite executives who understand the technologies that will drive profitability, innovation, and productivity. That does not mean they must be IT experts, however. C-suite execs do not need to know how to set up a server cluster.  Nor should they have to worry about the day-to-day functionality of the IT environment.

However, those in C-Level need to understand the business value of a variety of technology solutions and how they can support the company’s mission, vision, and overall direction.  Large, enterprise organizations may have the wherewithal to hire an experienced chief information officer to provide IT direction, but that isn’t always an option for small and midsize businesses.  For those firms, working with a managed services provider (MSP) such as Mainstream Technologies is a great alternative.

Companies often engage an MSP for the sole purpose of ensuring that their IT environment runs at peak efficiency.  While addressing day-to-day needs, a quality MSP will become increasingly attuned to how a business operates.  With this insight the MSP is in an ideal position to act as your virtual-CIO, providing technology leadership and insight that maps directly to your business objectives.

A trusted advisor such as Mainstream can play a vital role in the digital transformation process. Mainstream has the depth, expertise, and vendor connections throughout the technology industry to enable a range of transformative initiatives.
