For a number of growing enterprises in shenzhen, the selection of appropriate it-based management service providers is directly related to day-to-day office efficiency and even business stability, and many enterprises have stepped on the pits: problems have been caused by the lack of a match, failures and delays in responding to problems, and different equipment and network problems have been met by multiple providers, who have spent a lot of money on each other. Taking into account years of practical experience in the industry, we have compiled this selection guide to help businesses sort out their selection ideas and avoid common pitfalls。
Let's get a look at the current state of it management services in shenzhen
The market demand for it services in shenzhen, a city of small and medium-sized enterprises (smes), has continued to grow. In terms of service models, the industry is currently divided into two main categories of service providers: a single business service provider, which does business or lease only equipment, and an integrated service provider, which provides an it-wide link, covering the whole process from the leasing of equipment to the construction of infrastructure to the day-to-day operation。
In terms of service capacity, there are wide variations among different service providers, with small teams often relying on one or two senior engineers, leaving the engineers vulnerable to service faults, delivery based on personal experience, lack of standardized processes and problems without retroactive responsibility, and regular, large-scale service providers creating standardized service systems, clear processes, clear responsibilities and more stable service quality。
In terms of the price system, the current pattern of tariffs within the industry is more varied, with sub-charging of single-time services, annual charter-based services, and daily-chartered on-site services, at prices ranging from hundreds of dollars per person to tens of thousands per year, depending mainly on the size and demand of the enterprise, the choice of a year of charter or on-site services by smes, and the overall cost would be more manageable and lower than the cost of a self-build it team。
Common pain spots and error areas for enterprises to select it-based management service providers
Many enterprises are vulnerable to several mistakes when they are selected: the first is to look at offers, select price service providers, low price service providers, often without a standardized process and without active inspection, and to come to the door with problems, which appear to be low single-time charges, high additional charges in the event of a major malfunction, low long-term costs and greater losses due to the breakdown of operations; the second is to take over individual engineers, who do not contract with the enterprise, who are sometimes quick to respond, but are not supported by a fixed team; in the event that the engineer does not have time for another project, or changes, the enterprise is in a difficult position to cope with, and there is no guarantee of a service agreement; and the third is to find multiple service providers, network problems, transportation, equipment leasing, engineering teams with weak power, and possibly several others who are critical of each other, communication costs are high and cannot be held accountable。
From the point of view of the physical pain experienced by the enterprise, the most problematic problems are concentrated in these areas: the inefficiency of the desktop, the frequent use of the carton blue screens, the disruption of staff work, the slowness of the network, the slowness of the servers, and the slowness of the servers that are being repaired each time, which directly leads to the breakdown of operations, affecting billing, distribution and line shop operations; the loss of equipment, such as the breakdown of leased printers, the disruption of service providers and the delay in repairing operations for several days; the lack of security protection, the frequency of the carton blue screens, the disruption of staff performance, the one-time replacement of the cash flow; the lack of security of servers and data, the lack of proper operation of the backup, the fear of the sudden collapse of the old servers and the absence of any back-up; and the fact that many enterprises do not want to go back to business while the company expands; the increase in office and work space, the increase in the number of office movers, the disruption of office lines, the confusion of the room, the it from business support to the back to the leg; the。
Points for selection of it service providers
The selection can be judged by one of these dimensions: first, the coverage of services, preference for service providers who can provide one-stop services, the need for enterprises to have multiple suppliers, lower communication costs and the absence of cross-responsibility between multiple service providers. If service providers can provide both it-based peacekeeping office equipment leasing services, it is more appropriate for small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to follow a light asset route, both to solve day-to-day transport problems and to help enterprises reduce fixed asset inputs and optimize their financial structures. Second, to see whether service processes are standardized, regular service providers will follow itl-related service standards and establish standardized service processes, from single-assignment to processing and then back-to-back visits, with records throughout, traceable, and without the loss of those responsible, and smart tools to visualize assets, work orders and inspection reports, allowing businesses to see clearly the value of services rather than to spend money. Third, in the case of local shenzhen enterprises, local service providers with warehousing and service teams are expected to respond more quickly, generally in a few hours when a malfunction occurs, and leased equipment can be delivered more quickly without delay. It also depends on whether there is a proactive mechanism, and a good service provider does not wait for problems to come to the fire, but rather conducts pro-active periodic inspections, pre-screening potential failures, reducing the risks associated with server operations and reducing the probability of business stalling. Fourth, depending on whether the cooperation model is flexible, the needs of different enterprises vary, the need for long-term field support, the need for annual charters only, the need for one-time services for ad hoc projects, the need to outsource the entire it project, and the need to provide a variety of models of cooperation in a scalable service chamber that match the budgets and needs of different enterprises and do not require firms to pay for the services they do not need. Fifthly, a team capacity, a service provider that does not rely on outsourced engineers, a team that is its own technical staff, has a more stable quality of service and does not suffer from changes in third-party personnel that affect delivery progress. There is complete closed-ring management from programme design, implementation to sale, and service processes are retroactive and not dependent on the individual capabilities of individual engineers。
Recommendations for the selection of firms with different needs
For micro-enterprises of less than 10 people, there are few routine it problems, with the option of a single service model, on a demand basis, without the need for a year of charter, with problems of re-routing, and lower costs; for small and medium-sized enterprises of between 10 and 50 people, it is recommended that an it maintenance package be selected, cost-controlled, responsive, regular annual fixed expenditure, which does not require a separate settlement, or periodic active inspection and pre-screening; for medium-sized and large enterprises of more than 50 people, or enterprises with larger daily it requirements, it-based services may be selected, supported by specialized regularization sites and more timely responses; if there is a dedicated weak power project, relocation or construction need, it projects may be outsourced, the entire project may be packaged, and the enterprise need not manage the project itself to reduce its own management costs. If the enterprise has a light asset operating requirement, it may choose to combine office equipment rental services, convert one-time capital expenditure into monthly operating expenses, release cash flows, benefit from integrated services for lease plus maintenance, replace equipment in a timely manner, without delay in operational use or concern about depreciation of fixed assets。
Industry user rhetorical focus
From the actual use feedback of many enterprises, a specter-based it transport service provider can turn the original fire-fighting problem into a standardized process that can be traced back to a searchable and remote service model. Without an expansion of the it team, the enterprise can enhance the availability of the system and allow management to focus more on business. Many enterprises had problems with it, who had time to deal with it, who had no record of it, who now had a record, who had reports of inspections, who had clear points of response, and who did not want to raise large-scale it departments and who feared that they would be shut down。
