Why Companies Turn to Managed Service Providers (MSPs)

In Summary, despite the competition that businesses face today, there are solutions out there for increasing the competitiveness of your business. Managed Services is one such solution that can free up your IT staff to focus on strategic endeavors, save time and money, and reduce the amount of worry and stress about managing your data and security.

Need to Save Money: A MSP is equipped with all of the resources they need to effectively monitor or manage all of your infrastructure, server, and software needs. Of course, if you chose, you could equip yourself with all of those resources – but not nearly at the rate a MSP will be able to provide. Additionally, a MSP will have the visibility (depending on the package you choose) to manage your systems. This level of visibility will enable you (or the MSP, depending on the package you choose) to respond to system problems faster and to be more proactive in avoiding problems in the future – saving you time and money.

Need for Expert Personnel Resources: Hiring and keeping skilled IT staff can be difficult, especially since the best talent is drawn towards jobs involving strategy – not just performing monotonous help-desk tasks and maintaining infrastructure, server, and software systems. A MSP has the ability to relieve your talented IT staff of these requirements, so that they can focus on business initiatives. Additionally, a MSP will have their own expert staff to monitor or manage your services, relieving you of the need to have on-hand expertise.

Need for Visibility & Reliable Service: Your IT staff spends a large amount of time searching for and fixing problems as they arise, which is a very reactive strategy that results in wasted time and resources. MSP’s have the ability to provide excellent & reliable service which can help you avoid problems in the future. Additionally, your MSP can look for patterns in your system failures, so that they can be more proactive in helping you fix problems before they materialize, or avoid them altogether -- All through our CloudSmartz Customer Portal.

Need for Increased Efficiency and Effectiveness: The IT processes that MSP’s provide can bring a level of efficiency that many companies cannot realize on their own. MSPs are experts in their area, and they come equipped with all the knowledge and tools they will need to ensure that you benefit the most from the services you choose. This increased efficiency leads to overall business effectiveness.
