Agriculture Managed IT

Precision agriculture can reduce operations costs by 15% and increase crop yield by 13%, according to the American Farm Bureau, but it comes at a price. With everything digitized in this new age of smart farming, agriculture production is at the mercy of technology. A solid internal infrastructure is critical to success, and system downtime costs time and money. Downtime costs $5,600 per minute on average, reports Gartner, and an hour can amount to $140,000 to $540,000 depending on the organization. A managed service provider (MSP) offers dedicated IT support, monitoring and maintaining the health of information technology to decrease downtime and improve agribusiness optimization.
