4 Crucial Things Your IT Solution Provider Should Tell You

14 December 2021

When it comes to crucial IT issues, it is a given that your IT service provider should communicate proactivity to help strengthen your business growth. This is important because active participation can help you recognise the gaps in your business, to manage stunted growth. 
That said, Redpalm holds communication as a part of our robust IT solutions in high regard. When it comes to serving you, we leave no gaps in ensuring you have an uninterrupted IT environment for your business development. 
That has led us to create bespoke IT services, all of them being up-to-date for hassle-free business functioning. 
That said, here are some crucial IT issues that you should be aware of to make sure that your IT service provider is up to date
Let’s look at them!

1. Outdated Services 

An integral part of taking your business to the next level is fluent IT awareness; making sure that all parts of your IT environment are modernised is very important in any kind of business. 
Outdated services, stop providing updates and security to your data bringing high risk to your business.
The use of older versions tends to create vulnerabilities, so make sure you are aware of the version of IT systems that are being installed by your service provider.

2. Performance Review 

A professional IT service provider should conduct timely communication and update their clients with advances or downfalls in their performance.
A good service provider should have enough integrity to give a timely, honest performance review. This could include the statistics that prove the optimisation of your system in a way that was promised to be delivered. 
The mantra of following ‘utmost good faith’ comes into the limelight here, wherein both the parties should have direct and open communication.

3. Disaster Recovery Plan Test Runs 

Disaster recovery plans are important to maintain the consistency and efficiency of your business. It is most useful when your system breaks down and the employees are unable to work from the office and cannot access information remotely. 
A system breakdown could also create gaps in your IT environment, with high chances of a data breach. This can easily lead to the risk of cybercrime; a branch that has been putting businesses at high risk over recent decades. 
Our disaster recovery plan comes with a full-proof result-oriented motive and we ensure to serve you with the absolute best.
