San Diego-Based Networld Solutions Launches Managed Services to Address the IT Needs of Small Businesses

San Diego-Based Woodstock’s Pizza Turns to Networld Solutions for Cloud, VoIP and Other Strategic IT Services to Transform Its Business Operations

Networld Solutions, Inc., a leading San Diego-based provider of value-added information technology solutions, is now offering new managed services designed to better and more cost-effectively meet the day-to-day IT needs of small to midsize businesses (SMBs). In addition, the company, which counts Rady Children’s Hospital and Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) among its key customers, launched a new website (http://www.networldsolutions.com) that underscores its IT expertise in healthcare and K-12 education, as well as its expanded focus on the SMB market.

Many organizations, such as Steadfast HBS, SanGIS and Woodstock’s Pizza, a San Diego-based restaurant chain with nine locations across California, are already leveraging Networld Solutions’ month-to month "pay as you grow" managed services offerings.  These organizations now have an affordable way to outsource some or all day-to-day IT responsibilities as a strategic method for improving operations while cutting expenses significantly.

“SMBs today face an exhausting  yet unavoidable task of managing IT services within their organizations," said Darryl Turner, Director of Technical Services, Networld Solutions, Inc. "There are so many technologies and solutions to choose from, and that’s just the beginning. Once a solution is selected, how will they support it when it fails?  Will it withstand company growth?  Is a full-time IT resource now needed?  These questions are valid and they’re the reason we’ve embraced a managed services model -- to help eliminate IT  challenges for our clients and make a difference in the SMB market, a market we've been offering IT services to for over 20 years.”

According to a 2013 study by research and consulting firm MarketsandMarkets, the managed services market is predicted to increase in size from $142.75 billion last year to $265.05 billion in 2018. The study takes into account managed outsourced services that address technology needs surrounding data centers, networks, mobility, infrastructure, communications, security and other areas – all of which represent core competencies for Networld Solutions.

New Managed Services Offerings Simplify IT for Small Businesses

Networld Solutions’ managed services are available at three levels – silver, gold and platinum – with each level offering increasing amounts of IT service coverage. The offerings require no long-term contracts. Instead, Networld Solutions allows its business customers to pay only for the IT services they need – one month at a time – in order to successfully support their employees, whether they maintain a single office location or multiple locations.

The most essential component of the new managed services program is 24/7 IT monitoring, for which a team of experts is available on call to respond to system alerts as needed, thereby ensuring the ongoing availability of business-critical technology for clients.

At Woodstock’s Pizza, Networld Solutions’ managed services program has been fully deployed following the implementation of a transformative IT initiative that involved moving the successful restaurant company’s on-premise solutions to the cloud, interconnecting network communications between all sites and streamlining business operations with an all-new approach to IT.

“Working with Networld Solutions over the past two years and making use of their managed services has allowed us to significantly reduce IT time and costs, saving as much as $25,000  and 1,040 hours annually by reducing the full-time IT resources needed to manage our IT environment. Most importantly, we’ve been able to better serve our customers throughout California by focusing on our business instead of on our day-to-day IT challenges,” said Jeff Ambrose, Owner, Woodstock’s Pizza.

Proven MapIT Methodology Guides Networld Solutions’ Business

Networld Solutions’ service-marked MapIT™ methodology serves as the primary market differentiator for its managed services offerings and for its overall business. Designed by the company’s founders, it provides a system of rules, principles, processes and practices that guide the customized IT infrastructure solutions and services that are developed and proposed to business customers.

“MapIT has been highly successful for us and for our customers through the years,” said Turner. “It reflects the primary mission of our company, which is to allow our clients to concentrate on their day-to-day business tasks with the peace of mind of knowing that all of their IT needs are covered by our team of engineering experts, who have all led or been a part of internal IT departments in the past and possess a keen understanding of the ongoing challenges and today’s industry best-practices.”
