Technology is ever-changing, and while innovation always adds value, it can be challenging for businesses to take advantage of new technology in a cost-effective way. Tech-forward companies are always looking for ways to save money while streamlining their operations.
Leverage the latest technology by outsourcing IT needs to an experienced, reliable managed IT provider. One report shows that companies can save between 12-17% annually by using outsourced IT services.The trouble is, hiring and training an in-house IT team can be costly. You can’t hire just anyone. You need people with experience and a wealth of knowledge. Those people can be hard to find, and they can also be expensive.
By outsourcing, you can save money in areas like equipment and personnel while still enjoying the benefits of having an expert team handling your IT infrastructure. And if you already have an in-house IT team, outsourced IT solutions can supplement that team and provide additional support and assistance with tasks.
Whether you need help managing your network infrastructure, want to reduce your IT budget, or need assistance with a specific project, Attain Technology has an experienced team to help. As a full-service IT provider, Attain Technology offers a wide range of IT resources to best assist your company. Some of our solutions include:
Attain Technology’s cybersecurity experts do everything in their power to protect your company from cyberattacks. Hackers attack every 39 seconds, and phishing, ransomware, malware, data breaches, and supply chain attacks are just some of the increasing threats that cybercriminals launch at businesses every day.
We’ll regularly back up your data, monitor your networks for irregularities, turn your employees into your best cybersecurity asset, and put in place the best security measures possible to protect your data.
Cloud solutions are reliable, scalable, and affordable. The cloud benefits businesses by providing remote access to important data and files, eliminating the need to store your servers on-site. Attain Technology helps your company take full advantage of the cloud, while improving your team collaboration, streamlining communication, and securing your cloud environment.
Maintaining an up-to-date and well-functioning IT infrastructure can be a daunting task for any business. We provide businesses with a team of experts who are available for 24/7 support and are responsible for managing and maintaining all of your company’s IT resources. Regular, expert IT maintenance allows you to focus on your business while we ensure your technology works for you every step of the way.
Creating a business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan is essential for any company that relies on technology because it ensures that your business can continue to operate in the event of a disaster. Downtime alone can cost companies anywhere from $10,000 to $5 million per hour. Attain Technology creates a BCDR plan for you that is tailored to your specific needs, so one disaster doesn’t dictate the future of your company.
Many businesses choose to outsource their IT needs to a specialized company in order to save money and streamline their operations.
Outsourcing your IT needs can provide a number of benefits:

Outsourcing your IT means hiring an external provider to function as your entire IT department—handling not just technical support, but also strategic planning, vendor management, technology budgeting, hardware and software procurement, and long-term roadmapping.
Managed IT services are a component of outsourced IT, focused primarily on the day-to-day monitoring, maintenance, and helpdesk support of your existing systems. Think of managed IT as the operational engine and outsourced IT as the full package: engine plus the strategic driver who decides where the car should go. Businesses without any in-house IT staff typically benefit most from fully outsourced IT solutions.
Not necessarily. Some businesses outsource their IT entirely because they don’t have—and don’t want to hire—an internal IT team. But others use outsourced IT to augment an existing IT person or small team. An in-house IT coordinator might handle day-to-day user support while the outsourced provider manages cybersecurity, strategic planning, vendor relationships, and complex infrastructure projects. This co-managed arrangement gives smaller IT teams access to deeper expertise and 24/7 coverage without the cost of hiring multiple specialized technicians.
Strategic IT planning is the process of aligning your technology investments with your business objectives over a defined timeframe—typically one to three years.
This includes evaluating your current infrastructure, identifying systems that are aging or underperforming, projecting future technology needs based on your growth plans, budgeting for replacements and upgrades, and recommending where to invest for the greatest operational return.
It also includes assessing cybersecurity posture, compliance requirements, and emerging technologies like cloud and AI that could benefit your operations. An outsourced IT provider serves as your virtual CIO (vCIO) in this capacity, bringing the strategic expertise that most SMBs can’t justify hiring for full-time.
Vendor management means your IT provider coordinates with all the technology vendors your business relies on—internet service providers, phone system providers, software licensors, hardware manufacturers, and cloud platforms.
When something goes wrong with your internet connection or a software vendor pushes a problematic update, your outsourced IT partner handles the troubleshooting, escalation, and communication with those vendors on your behalf.
This eliminates the frustrating runaround of being bounced between vendors who each blame the other. One team owns the problem and sees it through to resolution.
Hiring a full-time IT professional in Rhode Island or Eastern Massachusetts involves salary, benefits, training, and retention costs—and a single generalist can’t provide 24/7 coverage or deep expertise across cybersecurity, cloud, networking, and strategic planning.
Outsourced IT gives you an entire team of specialists for a predictable monthly fee that’s typically a fraction of the cost of even one full-time hire. The exact investment depends on the number of users and devices you support, the complexity of your environment, and the scope of services you need.
Most providers offer a free assessment to help you understand the comparison for your specific situation.
A good outsourced IT provider makes it a priority to understand your business—not just your technology. This means learning your workflows, your line-of-business applications, your compliance requirements, and the operational realities of your industry.
Attain Technology has served businesses across a wide range of industries since 2008, and the team designs solutions based on each client’s specific operational context. Your outsourced IT partner should feel like a member of your team who happens to specialize in technology, not a generic call center.
The transition, sometimes called onboarding, is a structured process where the new provider takes inventory of your entire technology environment: servers, workstations, network equipment, software licenses, user accounts, existing security tools, backup systems, and vendor contracts. They document everything, identify immediate risks or issues that need attention, and establish monitoring and support processes.
A good provider manages this transition with minimal disruption to your daily operations—often handling the technical work after hours or in phases. The onboarding process also includes introducing your team to the new support channels so everyone knows how to get help from day one.
You have too much to do. You are coordinating schedules, employees, subcontractors, and deliveries for multiple projects while keeping your clients up-to-date and satisfied with the progress. The last thing you need on your mind is your computers, your network and your cybersecurity. At Attain Technology we take the burden of Information Technology off your hands, and ensure your computers and network are secure and ready to work when you are.
