And yet, many of them continue to manage their IT in-house, sometimes on an ad hoc basis, often with limited resources.<\/p><h3>Refocus on your core business<\/h3><p>Managing IT in-house requires advanced technical skills, constant updating and impeccable responsiveness. For a company whose core business is not IT, this represents a heavy mental and organizational burden.<\/p><p>Entrusting this management to a specialized service provider enables in-house teams to concentrate on their priorities: developing the business, improving the customer experience and innovating.<\/p><p>Case in point: A Geneva-based design company with 12 employees reduced the number of interruptions caused by IT incidents by 35% after outsourcing the management of its workstations, backups and emails. The result: less wasted time, more productivity.<\/p><h3>Reducing hidden costs<\/h3><p>Contrary to popular belief, in-house IT management is often more expensive: salaries, social security contributions, hardware, breakdowns, training, licenses&#8230;<\/p><p>With an outsourcing contract, costs are planned, smoothed and optimized. You benefit from a complete service, with no budget surprises.<\/p><h4>Direct access to top-level expertise<\/h4><p>Digital technology is evolving at breakneck speed. Only specialized companies can keep pace. By outsourcing, SMEs gain direct access to expertise in :<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li><p>cybersecurity,<\/p><\/li><li><p>cloud,<\/p><\/li><li><p>telephony,<\/p><\/li><li><p>email management,<\/p><\/li><li><p>Microsoft 365 licenses,<\/p><\/li><li><p>advanced backups, etc.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>This expertise also includes regular audits, proactive advice and valuable foresight.<\/p><h3>Enhanced IT security<\/h3><p>Cyber threats are no longer limited to large corporations. One in five Swiss SMEs fell victim to a cyber attack in 2023, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.admin.ch\/ncsc\/fr\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Federal Office of Cybersecurity<\/a>.<\/p><p>Yet few SMEs have a structured security plan.<\/p><p>A competent service provider provides tailor-made measures:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li><p>EDR antivirus,<\/p><\/li><li><p>continuous monitoring,<\/p><\/li><li><p>access and rights management,<\/p><\/li><li><p>disaster recovery plan (DRP),<\/p><\/li><li><p>professional firewalls (such as pfSense).<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>These devices offer a level of security often unattainable with in-house resources.<\/p><h4>Greater agility and responsiveness<\/h4><p>Outsourcing your IT management also means greater operational flexibility. Creating an email box, installing a workstation, opening a branch? Everything can be deployed rapidly, without unnecessary delays.<\/p><p>Example: A fiduciary in the canton of Vaud was able to open a branch in 48 hours, without any on-site technicians, thanks to an outsourced cloud infrastructure.<\/p><h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Why choose Avepto?<\/h3><p>At Avepto, we support Swiss SMEs in the complete management of their IT, with a tailor-made, human and transparent approach.
