If you ever find yourself bogged down by IT problems, you’re likely missing out on opportunities to grow your business. Hiring a managed service provider (MSP) is a great way to redistribute these responsibilities, while ensuring your IT operations continue to run smoothly. Here’s a quick overview of the benefits of an MSP to decide if IT outsourcing is right for your business.

How a Managed Service Provider Can Help Balance Business Needs With IT Concerns

1. Low Costs

With virtually every aspect of a business now going digital, IT spending for companies around the world is on the rise. In fact, Gartner^® predicted IT spending to reach $3.7 trillion globally last year—up from $3.5 trillion the year before. By outsourcing your business’s IT to an MSP, you receive contracted services for a set monthly cost—without conditions or hidden fees. This ultimately helps you stick to your budget and avoid going in the red. Even if you run into a major IT problem or need assistance upgrading to a new platform, your MSP will be there to help at no additional cost.

2. Priceless Expertise

When weighing the benefits of contracting an MSP versus hiring dedicated in-house IT personnel, it’s important to consider expertise. While the scope of knowledge for one or two employees may be limited, an MSP has an entire team at its disposal. Instead of wasting time troubleshooting a problem all day, your MSP help desk is just a phone call away. They’ll be able to address the issue quickly, getting you back on track and ensuring optimal productivity.

3. Up-to-Date Technology

Technology only functions its best with proactive monitoring. This can be a tedious task, particularly if you are attempting to handle IT operations while also running your small business. Outsourcing your IT to an MSP helps ensure all systems and software are secure and compliant. This provides peace of mind that your business’s data is safe from catastrophic security breaches and that you won’t get slapped with an unexpected and costly compliance violation penalty.
