How to Unlock IT Savings in an Uncertain Economic Environment
IT reliability, performance, and value: can you really have it all? The short answer is yes.
Between the pandemic, inflation, and high interest rates, the past five years have been rough for SMBs. Although inflation has cooled off a bit and the Fed just lowered interest rates, SMBs are still feeling the impacts of rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and the ongoing threat of recession. In a recent McKinsey & Company survey, 37% of SMB owners cited inflation as their biggest challenge in a recent McKinsey & Company survey — the highest percentage in 40 years! Given all that, it’s no wonder SMBs are trying to decide on the best course of action amidst economic uncertainty.
You can only pass on costs to your customers for so long before they start taking their business elsewhere. That’s why many SMBs are looking for more ways to reduce their expenses as an alternative to raising their prices or fees. One often overlooked area for potential savings is IT — whether you currently host and manage applications in-house, use an MSP, or some combination of the two.
At Infinitely Virtual (IV), we talk a lot about how our cloud hosting and managed IT services deliver the reliability, performance, and security SMBs need to stay competitive.
What you may not know is that we can do all that and probably save you money at the same time.
How can IV unlock substantial savings for your organization?
Realize Economies of Scale: All IV cloud hosting solutions leverage our proprietary Enterprise Virtualization Environment™ (E.V.E.) to deliver 100% uptime, near physical-server performance, absolute data protection, and unlimited scalability. We provision dedicated virtual servers within E.V.E. to provide all the advantages of an enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
Achieve Savings in the Cloud: Switching from a traditional capital expenditures model to an operational expenditures model gives you more control over your IT spending. Instead of forcing you into a predefined environment, we tailor a cloud solution to meet your specific requirements — so you only pay for what you need. Even better, IV hosts your applications for a predictable monthly fee, and we’ll even migrate them to our cloud platform completely free of charge.
Consolidate Vendors with All-in-One IT: IV will host all your critical business applications, manage your Microsoft 365 subscriptions, manage and secure your onsite devices, support your end-users, or provide any combination of these services. We deliver significant cost savings and efficiency gains over a multi-vendor arrangement — with one bill to pay, one support number to call, and one consistent, streamlined user experience. And unlike other IT providers, we won’t charge you ridiculous hourly support fees or nickel-and-dime you for every service.
Scale to Meet Changing Demand: IV’s virtualization environment scales with the push of a button as your application, data, and user requirements evolve. This means you can always count on great performance no matter how many users you add or how much storage you need. If your IT needs fluctuate seasonally, it’s simple to scale up or down to better control your IT expenses.
Get Satisfaction, Guaranteed: Many cloud providers promise continuous availability, but IV guarantees it. Because E.V.E. enables us to achieve 100% uptime, every IV plan comes with a 30-Day 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your IV cloud solution after 30 days, we’ll help migrate you off the platform at no additional cost.
