» About ClearPoint Technology Solutions
Founding
On November 1st, 2006, ClearPoint Technology Solutions, LLC (a Managed IT Service firm), focused on increasing the operational efficiencies of SMB’s (with from 10-250 computer users) was launched.

Corporate Strategy
Traditionally, SMB’s have been comfortable purchasing information technology support services on an hourly consulting basis. Increasingly, firms have begun to move toward managed services for their information technology. They have been transferring specific elements of their systems (ex. data storage and backups, disaster recovery, systems hosting, network monitoring, and even server management) to professional managed-service companies as a strategy for improving operations. When you compare the cost of hiring someone to handle IT versus outsourcing the function, you find that the direct costs (including management time), combined with the turnover cost (generally estimated at between 75 and 150 percent of an employee’s annual salary), make it a hands-down victory for the outsourcing option. For businesses that are taking the outsourcing route, managed services is the natural evolution of more sophisticated IT service delivery systems. Indications from industry market research firms, such as Gartner Dataquest, predict a 33 percent annual growth rate in the managed IT services market.
