The Benefits of Hardware Support Services

Working on Server

Your company’s IT infrastructure is the backbone of an efficient business. Carefully and consistently maintaining IT hardware within this ecosystem ensures high availability and productivity across all business functions. 

The maintenance of this infrastructure involves a combination of hardware support services and hardware maintenance tools administered either remotely or on-premises by IT professionals.

A hardware support package is not a reactive, quick fix to sudden hardware challenges; these services provide customized hardware preventative maintenance during and post-warranty for companies that may not be able to afford the costly Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) services.

Furthermore, preventative maintenance has proven to be a business-winning strategy. A 2020 report highlighted that 76% of industries prioritized preventative maintenance in managing their equipment. This statistic demonstrates that hardware support services can go a long way in preventing costly downtime and unnecessary emergency expenditure. 

Leading Maintenance Strategies

Hardware support services provide solutions to the following challenges:

  • Lack of a continuous strategy for servicing, repairing, and upgrading hardware components  
  • Vendors not offering support for end-of-life IT hardware
  • Prolonging the lifespan of legacy IT Hardware
  • Costly hardware support packages from hardware vendors
  • Maintaining multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in a mixed IT landscape
  • Slow resolution of issues from IT hardware manufacturers 
  • Stringent right to repair requirements enforced by OEMs 

Overcoming the challenges listed above are why your company requires dedicated managed hardware support services. This article outlines why hardware support services are ideal for your company.

How Does Hardware Support Translate to Business Continuity?

Helps in Solving Complex Problems

Managed hardware maintenance ensures that your systems are always available and optimized to perform complex processes critical to business growth and continuity. Developing solutions to business problems requires a smooth-running IT environment that combines high-performance hardware with business analytics software. This combination can quickly analyze trends and deliver accurate data that improves problems solving and decision-making.

Improves Operational Efficiency

Well-maintained hardware ensures employees can work uninterrupted by network or hardware downtime. Outdated hardware components or software that is not current can slow down business functions or, even worse, leave your network vulnerable to cyberattacks. With a managed hardware maintenance plan, you have peace of mind that your IT infrastructure is monitored 24/7 and that all the hardware and software that your business relies on is up to date.

Reduces Frequent Downtime

IT downtime is a costly affair for most businesses. According to a Statista report, IT downtime costs between 301,000 and 400,000 dollars for 25% of enterprises. Any downtime will inevitably negatively affect your bottom line. However, by implementing a managed hardware maintenance plan, companies can significantly minimize downtime and reduce business loss from your systems going offline.
