Mercado to learn more.
Supporting rapid growth How outsourcing IT can help you manage your growing business As manager of IT Engineering at Enova Financial, Jeff Bagnall found that his company's need for power, space and cooling had far outstripped the capabilities of the facility."We were an explosive growth company, with a startup environment attitude," he says. "Get it out, get it out fast, and if there are growth problems, we'll figure it out later." When it came time for a solution, Bagnall looked at colocation centers, a type of data center where multiple customers keep mission-critical equipment and data. Smart Business spoke with Bagnall about why he decided IT outsourcing (ITO) was the right move and what he looked for in an ITO provider.
