Melbourne On Site IT Services and Support for Businesses 

Key IT operational challenges for teams in 2025: 

High staff turnover:

32% of IT professionals report that they are likely to change jobs in the next 12 months. High turnover leads to understaffed IT department, staff burnout, and reduced efficiency. These factors contribute to the 62% of employees who feel “physically and emotionally drained”.  

Projects and day to day activities: 

Tight project deadlines or simply day to day IT tasks may be encumbering your IT department. Reducing and sometime hindering time spent focused on strategy.   

Complexity and technology creep: 

IT is an intricate and ever evolving landscape. Your business environment continues to grow increasingly complex, so do the demands on your technology and workforce. As a result, skill gaps may emerge over time.          

What is staff augmentation?

 At its core ‘Staff augmentation’ is a form of outsourcing, where for a period of time specialists increase your organisations IT capability. This engagement provides access to quality talent without the long-term commitment of screening, hiring and training new permanent staff. 

The vast majority of businesses that employ this outsourcing strategy already have an internal IT team, Staff augmentation is not so much about replacing your in-house resources as it is bolstering them. Companies may consider using this strategy for a variety of reasons, a few which are outlined above. 

Why use an MSP? 

Projects that your business complete annually, AVTech may be doing frequently with organisation in your vertical and at higher levels of complexity. When a business chooses to work with an experienced MSP like AVTech business disruption, downtime, and potential risks from a project are generally reduced.  

Without the time and cost to hire, your IT department now has more time to pursue strategic objectives whilst being able to gain insights from an MSP. Businesses consistently experience value from this arrangement. As 2024 concluded this is why 77% of our engineers were permanently assigned to a customer site.  (*on a full-time or part-time basis).

On Site Support

Arrangements for on-site support are either ongoing or on an ad hoc basis. Longer engagements generally mean that our engineers support with a specific IT function. Stretched IT teams or lone IT managers may require ongoing in-person support in order to fulfill specific day to day duties. These types of organisation in particular often see rapid and real time improvements to their operations.

Considerations:

• There is a higher budget requirement for onsite support. To balance this, you may opt for a part time resource.  
  
• Resources more effectively integrate into your department when working through an in person capacity.   
  
• Through an ad hoc resource, you can feel secure knowing you have a contact to cover extended leave, a key team member leaving or if a disaster strikes.

Remote Support

Remote support is another avenue which can contribute to your IT outsourcing strategy. As resources connect remotely this type of support is timely and effective if you have locations spread out interstate or nationally. This type of ‘Active Care’ is also more cost effective from a day to day operations standpoint.     

Considerations:  

• Remote support is generally the easiest and quickest way for your end users to get, however certain issues cannot be resolved remotely.  
• In some scenarios the troubleshooting process may be longer than in person support.   
  
• It may be more challenging for our resource to effectively integrating with your team when operating in a remote capacity.
