It’s summer. Your team’s scattered, your IT person’s on vacation—and then something breaks. Systems go down, files vanish, and there’s no one to fix it. This post explains why reactive IT falls apart when you need it most, and how a proactive approach keeps your business running, even when everyone’s out of office.
It’s a quiet June morning. Half your team is on vacation. The other half is working from home or bouncing between coffee shops and hotel WiFi.
And then it happens.
You call your IT person – and they’re out of office too.
Now what?
Your business is frozen, and there’s no one available to fix it.
Sound dramatic? Maybe.
But unrealistic? Not even a little.
Most business owners don’t realize how much goes into keeping their business up and running, until something breaks – and the only person who knows how to fix it is sipping daiquiris on a beach somewhere without a cell phone signal in sight.
That’s the main problem with reactive IT support.
It works fine…until it doesn’t. And then you’re left scrambling to repair the damage.
When your tech strategy is based on “Just call Bob if something goes wrong,” you’re taking a huge risk.
Especially in the summer, because tech problems don’t care about PTO.
And when no one’s there to respond quickly, the damage stacks up – fast.
When you rely on a “fix-it-when-it-breaks” approach:
And in June, when vacations peak and remote work is more common, it’s the perfect storm. Instead, you need to work with a company that takes a proactive approach to IT support.
A proactive IT partner doesn’t just wait for things to go wrong. They anticipate issues, prevent disruptions and make sure there’s a plan (and people) in place when your usual support is AWOL.
With a proactive team, you get:
Downtime costs small businesses anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars PER MINUTE. Cyberattacks can be even worse, both financially and reputationally.
Waiting until things go wrong isn’t just inconvenient; it’s risky and potentially expensive.
This summer, don’t leave your business exposed while your team (or your IT support) is away.
Let’s take a look at your setup and show you how a proactive approach can save you time, money and stress.
