When it comes to IT infrastructure, businesses often ask: Should we manage our own IT in-house or move to a fully managed IT solution?
For years, companies relied on on-premise IT setups—where servers, data storage, and networking equipment were owned, maintained, and secured in-house. But today, businesses need a more flexible, scalable, and secure solution.That’s why Managed IT Services from FFT has become the smarter choice for businesses looking to stay secure, efficient, and ahead of the competition.
Let’s break down why fully managed IT always wins over on-prem IT.
Many businesses still believe that on-prem IT gives them more control over their infrastructure. While that may have been true a decade ago, modern IT requirements have outpaced the capabilities of in-house systems.
Here’s why on-prem IT is no longer the best choice:
❌ High Upfront & Maintenance Costs – Businesses must purchase, install, and maintain their own hardware, which gets expensive fast.
❌ Security Risks – Keeping IT in-house means managing cybersecurity, compliance, and system updates—a full-time job on its own.
❌ Scalability Issues – When businesses grow, they must buy and install new servers and equipment, slowing growth and increasing costs.
❌ Disaster Recovery Concerns – If a hardware failure or cyberattack happens, businesses without a proper backup & recovery plan risk losing critical data.
❌ Limited Remote Work Capabilities – On-prem IT makes it harder for employees to work securely from different locations.
If your business still relies on on-premise IT, you’re likely spending too much money, taking unnecessary security risks, and missing out on better technology solutions.
FFT’s Managed IT Services eliminate the challenges of on-prem IT while providing superior security, scalability, and reliability.
