Drive Your Productivity: Partner with an MSP

Ideally, your business functions like a well-oiled machine and is humming along. All segments are operating according to the strategy and employees are busy and productive. Inevitably, an issue will arise that will bring to light the need for technology preparedness. Whether it's a network crash, a data breach, or an unplanned outage, businesses will experience these events and productivity - and the company's bottom line - will suffer.

To avoid downtime and stay ahead of technology issues, companies are partnering with managed services providers. MSPs offer many features which are beneficial to companies of all types.

Proactive and continuity solutions

It is estimated that the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute which could be disastrous for a small- or medium-sized business. Collaborating with an MSP affords a company the advantages of business continuity solutions such as backups and disaster recovery. Proactive technology solutions, such as network monitoring, are essential for a company's stability and overall operations. These types of solutions can prevent a small technology issue from turning into a major crisis.

Security

Prioritizing data and systems security are critical for all companies due to the barrage of risks they face each day. Data breaches, hacking, cybersecurity threats, human error, and natural disasters are serious issues affecting businesses. Managed services providers have the knowledge of the most current threat detection technologies to protect a company.

Cost savings

Hiring a full-time IT staff and manager is not feasible for all companies. Budget and resource constraints often limit how a company manages its technology needs. Managed services providers are a cost-effective solution to hiring full-time IT resources. That cost savings can then be reinvested into the company, contributing to future growth.

Long-term strategy

Implementing technology solutions contributes to a company's long-term strategy and growth. Having the expertise of a managed services provider means a business reaps the rewards of the latest and most creative technology and trends. Partnering with an MSP not only enhances a company's technology systems, but also its internal and external communications, project management, and competitive standing.

A productive company is a successful one. Partnering with an MSP allows a business to quickly and expertly resolve technology issues to avoid unnecessary downtime and revenue loss.
