Most businesses start small, and it’s not uncommon for someone on the team—maybe even the owner—to handle IT tasks in the beginning. But as your company grows, so does your tech stack… and eventually, DIY IT becomes a liability.
If you’ve been struggling with slow systems, security concerns, or unreliable tech support, it might be time to consider a managed IT services provider (also known as an MSP). These professionals offer proactive monitoring, troubleshooting, cybersecurity, and tech strategy so your team can focus on what you do best—running your business.
At TechCore, we help small to mid-sized businesses across Tennessee take control of their technology, protect their data, and reduce downtime with scalable IT solutions.
Here are 5 clear signs it’s time to make the switch to managed IT support:
1. You’re Constantly Putting Out Tech Fires 🔥
If you or your team are regularly stopping work to deal with:
- Email issues
- Printer problems
- Wi-Fi outages
- Application crashes
- Software updates gone wrong
…then your IT is reactive—not proactive.
A managed IT provider like TechCore keeps your systems running smoothly behind the scenes. We proactively monitor your network, catch issues before they escalate, and resolve problems without disrupting your workflow.
Bottom line? Less time fighting IT = more time growing your business.
2. You Don’t Have a Cybersecurity Plan 🔒
Small businesses are not too small to be targeted. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses, and most don’t survive a serious breach.
If your company doesn’t have:
- A firewall
- Antivirus software
- Strong password protocols
- Employee cybersecurity training
- Data backups
- A disaster recovery plan
…you’re vulnerable.
At TechCore, we offer layered cybersecurity protection tailored to your risk level. We handle everything from antivirus to secure remote access, data backups, and compliance-ready protection—so you don’t have to.
3. You’re Growing—But Your Tech Isn’t 📈
When your business grows, your technology needs to scale with you. If you’re:
- Hiring new staff but struggling to onboard their devices
- Adding new locations without consistent network performance
- Dealing with old equipment that slows productivity
…then your current setup is probably holding you back.
TechCore provides scalable managed IT services that grow as you do. Whether you’re adding a handful of users or launching a second office, we help ensure your technology supports your business goals—not bottlenecks them.
4. You Don’t Have a Go-To IT Expert 🧠
When something breaks, who do you call? If the answer is:
- “We Google it and hope for the best”
- “I have a guy, but he’s not always available”
- “One of our employees handles it when they have time”
…that’s a red flag.
With a managed IT provider, you get a dedicated team of tech pros—people who know your systems inside and out, are available when you need them, and don’t disappear when things go sideways.
TechCore acts as your outsourced IT department, without the cost of hiring a full-time staff. We’re here when you call, and monitoring things when you don’t.
5. You’re Worried About Downtime or Data Loss ⏳
Every minute of downtime costs money. Lost data? Even worse. Whether it’s due to hardware failure, power outages, or ransomware, the damage can be significant.
If you’ve ever said:
- “We’d be in big trouble if we lost our files.”
- “We don’t really have backups, but we should.”
- “When the internet goes down, everything stops.”
…then it’s time to talk to TechCore.
Our backup and disaster recovery solutions ensure your data is protected and recoverable. And our 24/7 monitoring means we often fix issues before you even know there’s a problem.
