If you find yourself getting frustrated waiting for your IT provider to respond to your questions and problems, you’re not alone. It’s an unfortunate reality that many IT providers aren’t as responsive as their clients would like. This lack of urgency can cause a slew of problems, from unhappy customers to lost work.
If you’re running a business, then you definitely don’t have time to waste waiting on your IT provider to get their act together. You don’t have to put up with IT providers who are agonizingly slow and seemingly disinterested in you and your IT-related problems — there are better providers out there.
Slow IT Response Times Cost You Money
You want fast and dependable IT services, but that’s not always what you get. An unresponsive IT provider will cost you time and money:
- When one of your employee’s computers goes down, you can lose hours or even days of productivity from that employee (Gartner reports that the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute).
- When your systems are slow or down, you can’t service your customers properly — which results in unhappy customers.
- When your IT calls go unanswered and your problems unsolved, those problems are likely to get worse — especially if they’re the result of a computer attack or data breach (according to Cisco, 45% of small and medium-sized businesses had 5-16 hours of downtime from data breaches in 2019).
To keep your business running smoothly, you need your computers and network to stay up and running. If your IT provider can’t make this happen on a timely basis, your business could be in jeopardy.
How the Typical IT Provider Responds to Your Problems
You know how it works. You have a question related to an IT issue or even a problem that needs to be fixed. Maybe one of your computers is down, or you can’t log into your email, or your Wi-Fi keeps kicking off. So you call up your IT provider and ask for their help.
Unfortunately, many IT providers won’t respond the way you’d like. You might get shunted through a phone tree and asked to leave a voicemail message, which is not immediately returned. Or the person you talk to says he can’t handle it right now and you need to fill out a “trouble ticket,” even though it’s something simple that could be addressed right on the spot. Or the person says he’ll get right on your request but never does. In each of these cases, you’re left hanging.
If it feels like your IT provider is blowing you off, it’s because they are.
