Everyone deserves a break from work every now and then. After a long stretch of Mondays-Fridays, the thought of having a week off or even just a day off is pure bliss for many.

Having a break from work is all well and good- as long as your team members are kept in the loop. If you rely on IT to carry out your daily or even weekly tasks, it’s important to be up and running all the time. If your servers were destroyed or if an accident happened involving your most business-critical laptop, where would that leave your business?

Downtime is bad. Up time is good. That’s something we’re all aware of and that’s where PCS Interim Cover comes in.

Let just say the IT manager for your company (if you have one) was on holiday, would this cause an issue? Could someone else fill his/her shoes and do their job whilst they are away?

If the answer to that question is no, then you should probably consider a plan B or some external help.

Holiday periods during the year can become very busy and it’s times like these that your IT department can feel the extra strain.

Additional help and support never goes a miss and where IT is concerned- we can be that extra pair of hands. It may be that your current resource has a job that needs to be prioritised or maybe your IT team don’t possess the necessary skills to fulfill a specific job.

Days off due to illness and family emergencies often interfere with work. But, what if your IT manager took an unexpected day off, and on that very same day your servers decided to pack in? That’s a situation that many businesses find themselves in, and unfortunately not much can be done in a scenario like this, especially if there is no one within your company capable of filling the IT skills that you need. Other than it being a massive inconvenience, it could be detrimental to your business if your in-house IT went off the radar. It could leave your IT infrastructure and your business in a very vulnerable position.

The fact of the matter is- you need some form of IT management to keep your business running as smoothly as possible. Having a separate entity to manage your IT will help with not only your other day to day tasks but it also allows you to focus on other important aspects of your business.

PCS have the skills and expertise to manage your IT cover meaning that you won’t need to worry about the little (or big) things. Whether it’s complete management or added expertise – you have the full support of an entire team of IT experts.
