Are you the IT Manager? Here's how we can help your team...
With technology being increasingly scrutinized by Finance comes the need to “do more with less”. Forward-thinking IT managers are turning to virtual IT departments to augment their internal capabilities and expertise. Through something we call Co-Managed IT Services, The Utility Company works in partnership with your internal ITdepartment - providing complete access to our people, processes and Utility Service Center technology. It's like squeezing an entire team into one empty cubicle - except your virtual staff never calls in sick, takes vacation or requires new training.
The ability to virtually and easily add enterprise-class managed services, automated desktop management or remote data protection & backup all appeal to IT Managers looking to make their time more productive and to concentrate on more than routine day-to-day tasks.

The discussion above is typically music to any CFO’s ears – reducing costs, better data security and performance reporting. For mid-market companies (50-250+ employees) outsourcing has generally been met with resistance from internal IT. That was then, this is now!
Forward-thinking mid-sized enterprises (and their IT managers) are increasingly adopting the virtual IT department concept for a few key reasons:
- Cost-savings and efficiency – virtual IT is generally 50-60% of the cost of the traditional model.
- Expertise – having access to industry-leading personnel and processes.
- Information security – developing an information security program with ongoing monitoring.
- 24 x 7 business world – receiving support outside of standard business hours.
- Off-loading mundane tasks – tactical services like end-user helpdesk and security management.
- Partnering approach – internal and external IT work as team from a central service desk system.
- Geography – working with a service organization with a large geographic footprint.
- Back-up and disaster recovery – safeguard the most critical corporate asset – your data!
- Business applications – knowledge of key accounting, CRM and vertical applications.
