Outsourcing takes away the stress of doing difficult things. This is the reason most companies rely on MSPs for the management of their IT services. Below are some advantages in using an MSP.
Minimize downtime, Improve business continuity, and increase productivity
If you’ve ever had your computer system crash or experienced slow computers, you know what it can do to productivity (and even employee morale). The entire focus of MSP technicians is ensuring that their customers have the best technology available to them and that the technology runs as smoothly as possible. They take a proactive approach to avoid many IT problems, but when issues do arise, they’re able to respond and resolve those issues quickly.
Improve security
There was a 38% rise in cyber attacks from 2014 to 2015, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, and 43 % of cyber attacks target small businesses, according to Symantec. The IT professionals at MSPs stay up-to-date on the latest security threats and the best security software to ensure the safety of your data.
Predictable cost structure
The cost of technology can drastically change from month to month, which can make budgeting very difficult. Most MSPs can create a long-term plan along with a budget to keep all of your technology at peak performance. Plus, they usually offer a monthly rate for their services.
Expertise, Focus, and Scale
An MSP’s core business is keeping its customers’ technology running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Now if you’re paying a flat monthly fee, a smart MSP will do what they can to solve your problems as quickly as possible, so it pays for them to hire the best IT professionals in the business who can do just that. Plus, due to economies of scale, most MSPs can offer the most competitive pricing on both hardware and software.
