Every business today needs reliable performance and high availability from their mission-critical systems, but often providing such services lies outside the core competency of many companies. The IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) toolset is an example of a complex workload that often requires a specialized team to manage. For even large, mature organizations, managing this level of engineering work with in-house staff can take resources away from other efforts and distract from the organization’s strategic goals. ClearObject, an IoT solutions integrator, offers IBM ELM Managed Services to businesses looking to meet their engineering needs without investing in more costly in-house resources to do the job.
ClearObject’s years of experience offering IBM ELM Managed Services mean they can manage this complex engineering work more efficiently than most companies. By trusting their ELM Managed Services to a company like ClearObject, companies can focus on their core mission and not have to hire specialist resources to provide 24/7 care and feeding of their IBM toolset. For companies that are struggling to take care of their IT necessities on their own, these services often offer significant benefits. Here are three main ones.
1. Overcome IT-Related Hiring Challenges
One of the biggest IT-related challenges that companies face is simply finding the right person to oversee IT. Identifying the most qualified candidates is difficult because the IT job field is so competitive, and enticing those qualified candidates to come on board is yet another challenge.
In many cases, businesses can spend an inordinate amount of time and resources searching for a good IT hire. Moreover, there’s no guarantee that a new hire will remain with a business since they likely could get multiple job offers.
With IBM Managed Services from ClearObject, businesses can avoid all of these hiring challenges. Once a business is comfortable hiring ClearObject, they won’t have to worry about having to go through the process of hiring a full in-house team. ClearObject has been offering IT services for a long time and serves some of the world’s most well-known companies.
2. Free Up the In-House IT Team
Of course, most companies that outsource work to managed IT services still retain much or all of their in-house staff. The purpose of outsourcing frequently isn’t to eliminate an in-house IT department altogether, but rather to free up the in-house team to work where they’re most comfortable and effective.
Many in-house IT departments are fairly small, consisting of only a few professionals, and these professionals often have different areas of expertise. Should someone take a leave of absence or a new job, this can create a roadblock that prevents projects from progressing until another person is hired or another in-house team member can take over the work. Also, issues can arise that in-house team members are able to figure out but don’t know how to address immediately. This may result in inefficient use of time, costing businesses both in labor and in opportunity costs.
When a professional IT firm takes over specialized operations, businesses can trust that their IT needs will always be attended to and efficiently taken care of.
3. 24/7 IT Monitoring
Companies also frequently have trouble constantly monitoring their IT operations, since small teams don’t have enough people to provide around-the-clock monitoring,
ClearObject Managed Services come with 24/7 IT monitoring, so businesses can trust that their operations are being watched every day and at all times of the day. This is becoming increasingly important because IT operations don’t stop at the end of the workday.
