Computers have been used within offices since the 1930s, yet these machines came with limited capabilities. In the early 1980s, personal computers were considered “intelligent terminals†and were capable of running several applications at a time. While they proved useful, these computers still had restricted functionalities.
During the second half of the ’80s and early ’90s, we saw a surge in the capabilities of computers. During the new age of information, many businesses began to use technology to improve productivity and begin switching tasks to be completed online, such as admin work.
Previously
The dominant model for IT services was originally the “Break / Fix.†method. A business would have them, and then when something went wrong, they’d call up an IT team to come to fix it. This meant when errors did occur excess time would be spent between the problem occurring and it being solved because companies would be taking more time to find a provider to fix it. In the world of business where time is money, this leads to many companies losing out.
As technology continued to develop, it became evident companies would require improved knowledge of IT. Still, it didn’t appear beneficial – especially in small businesses – to have their own full-time IT expert. So managed IT services were born.
In managed IT services, companies create a contract with an outside team of IT experts to monitor their technology and fix any issues that arise as soon as possible. This means that companies no longer have to worry about crashing systems or other complex technological defaults
Modern Day
Today, the majority of business is done online, from emailing colleagues to websites showcasing your company. With the development of the Cloud, computing companies can now access levels of data storage and online collaboration that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago.
But of course, the growth in technology has also come with its downsides such as hackers, fraudsters and system failures.
