5 Reasons Why Managed IT Service Providers Are A Great Option For Growing Small Businesses

IT Consultant

When you’re growing a small business, there’s always a breakpoint when it comes to IT. When it was you and two of your buddies, you did everything on Google Docs and Sheets, and you had simple, easy workflows that didn’t require heavy-duty IT infrastructure.

But now it’s you and two dozen co workers. Things are starting to get rough – people are having computer issues, looking for more heavy-duty infrastructure and databases, and generally just looking towards you to figure out what your next step will be when considering a dedicated IT infrastructure.

This is where you have a choice. You can go in-house and hire somebody, or you can hire an Managed IT Services Provider (MSP) to take care of your growing IT infrastructure.

  1. Reduced Labour Costs For More A More Experienced Staff

    When you hire in-house IT personnel, you have to understand that each person’s specialty is different – and covering all the needs of your new IT infrastructure could require quite a few people. You probably can’t afford to hire all them all – which is why IT Managed Service Providers are such a great choice.

    Experts from the service provider can cover just about every area of IT servicing, and turn their attention elsewhere when you don’t need them. This allows for greatly reduced labor cost – but also gives you a more experienced staff capable of handling just about anything.

  2. Increased Flexibility And No “Bad Hire” Staff Risk

    Hiring more in-house IT staff is a long, arduous process – and you always have to wonder if a hire is going to work out or not. The last thing that a small business wants to do is eat the cost of a bad hire.

    When you contract with a managed IT service provider, you don’t have to worry about that, and you can always expand your service contract when your IT infrastructure grows, without worrying about how to add the staff required to service it.

  3. 24/7 Support

    Almost all managed IT service providers provide 24/7 support, whether over voice, video, or email, and are dedicated to resolving your problems quickly and efficiently. In addition, many managed IT service providers provide daily monitoring services that scan for problems and monitor the health of your infrastructure, allowing them to catch disasters before they occur.

  4. Security & Compliance Expertise

    Security and compliance are extremely important for a small business – you don’t want your growing reputation ruined by a high-profile hack or data breach. Managed IT service providers have security and compliance experts on hand who can help you lock up your most important data, and secure it – before a breach strikes.

  5. Reduced Risk

    Most managed IT service providers are incredibly efficient when it comes to monitoring the health of your IT infrastructure, and can help track and remediate failure events much more quickly than in-house staff, allowing for reduced risk, higher availability of IT infrastructure, and less overall downtime.
