A Better Solution than Insurance

You can take out an insurance policy on anything, even a wedding. Insurance company Fireman will protect your big day against "nonrefundable expenses, including cancellation due to serious illness, injury, extreme weather, a missing caterer or officiate -- even a bankrupt event facility." Your businesses technology is important enough to insure; is there a policy to protect your tech?

Before you give your Chicagoland insurance agent a call, you will first want to call Preferred at 708-781-7110. As an IT company that specializes in managed IT services, we are actually a better solution than an insurance company. Whereas insurance will only cover you in the event that something goes terribly wrong, managed IT services from Preferred will help prevent the disastrous event from happening.

This doesn't mean that you can't take out an actual insurance policy on your company's technology. Many insurance companies will insure your technology just in case it gets destroyed along with your office building, or even if a user error breaks everything. If you do take out an insurance policy on your tech, along with signing up for our managed IT services, then in a way, it's like you're getting insurance on top of your insurance.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution
You can think of backing up your data as a form of insurance. In fact, this is better than a plain old insurance policy because an insurance check will only pay for new hardware, like a replacement for your destroyed server, but an insurance check cannot buy back lost data. With a BDR solution from Preferred, all of your data is regularly backed up to an offsite cloud server, meaning that your company's valuable information will be protected in the event of something happening to your physical server unit.

IT Vendor Management
As an IT company, we are on standby to remediate any of your technology problems that affects your company's network. In a way, our IT service is like an insurance policy for your equipment, except we do more than cut checks for broken equipment. We provide solutions for problems. We will even find you a solution for business technologies that we don't specialize in; this is a service we provide called IT vendor management.

You can think of this service as a way to extend our great protective coverage to all of your technology, not just your servers and workstations. With Preferred's vendor management service, we coordinate fixes from technology vendors on your behalf to make sure repairs happen quickly, saving you the headache of calling the manufacturer with your warranty information and arranging a repair job that might not work with your timetable.

Managed Proactive IT Services
With Preferred's remote monitoring and maintenance tools, we are able to remotely service your servers and workstations from our end. This proactive approach is better than an insurance policy, and even better than quickly fixing a computer after it breaks. With our managed IT services we actively monitor your technology and remotely perform maintenances that keep your computers running smoothly.

You can think of our managed IT services like having a mechanic perform regular maintenance on your car every night when you go to bed. You would still want to have collision insurance, but having a professional team take care of your vehicle means that you will not have to buy the best insurance possible; because you know that you have a protection that's better than insurance.

If you're looking for the best protection possible for your technology investment, and you want a solution that goes beyond a flimsy insurance policy and keeps all of your technology running at maximum efficiency, then call Preferred at 708-781-7110.
