Celebrate your Freedom from IT Burdens!

Everybody loves their freedom, but for some, freedom is an illusion. Take for example the busy business owner. Often times, their work schedules are so packed with tasks that they don't feel free to take a break and enjoy themselves. Technically, they have the freedom to quit, but we think there's a better way to find freedom in the workplace!

Experiencing the fruits of freedom is impossible if you're chained to your desk. In a situation like this, poor time management is the freedom killer. Now, if you're an over-worked business owner, then you may be thinking, "That's hogwash! I'm a master of time management and I even use productivity apps to plan my day down to the minute, but I still can't find any free time." In a situation like this, you need to add to your to-do list, "find and implement a solution to free up more time."

This is where Preferred can help. Technically, we can't provide you with additional minutes for your day, but what we can do is offer your business with technologies to free you from the burdensome tasks you have to do, which will effectively give you more freedom. At Preferred we think that technology is the key to freedom. Here are three business technologies that will free up your work day!

Remote Software Updates, Patches, and Maintenance
Having to spend time upgrading and maintaining your company's software can eat up an annoying amount of time, especially if the task falls on the small business owner. With Preferred's managed IT services, we can remotely take care of software upgrades for you. This is one less thing that you will have to worry about, and because your software will be running the latest versions complete with security patches, your organization's network security will be dramatically improved. Keep in mind, this includes your supported operating systems and antivirus too, which will prevent you from potentially time-consuming issues in the future.

Even if you're not the one that oversees your company's "computer stuff," you can still save yourself time by outsourcing your IT to us. With remote software maintenances and other managed IT services offered by Preferred, we're able to free up time from whoever in your office that's in charge of IT. We call this "co-managed IT;" you will directly benefit from this service because it will free up time for the employee currently overseeing your IT. We're sure that you can think of new tasks to add to their day that will directly alleviate things on your personal to-do list.

Data Backup and Disaster Recovery
With Preferred's data backup and disaster recovery solution, we do the job of backing up your data and recovering it for you. This is a necessary chore that every business must do, and if your company still uses tape to backup its files, then you will see a significant amount of time freed up by turning it into an automatic process. Not only does this free up your time, but it also helps any business owner who frets about his business after hours to sleep better at night knowing the data is safe.

Remote IT Support
Computer problems are never planned for, which is why they are so devastating to a perfectly planned out scheduled. Due to the large amounts of time that an unexpected computer problem can potentially hijack from your day, you will want to take whatever preventive measure you can in order to ensure minimal downtime. With remote IT support from Preferred, we can remotely take care of computer issues, as well as monitor your system to prevent a small issue from becoming large freedom-crushing problems.

In a way, you can think of Preferred like a liberator. If you feel overwhelmed by the time crunch and you're not enjoying the freedom that comes with running your own business, then call us at 708-781-7110 to outsource your company's IT needs to a a pro-freedom business like us. Call on us today to liberate your schedule by making your technology work for you!
