Managed Services refer to the practice of outsourcing your company’s IT support and management to improve your organization’s operations. Effectively, this means Managed Services Providers (MSPs), like CHR Solutions, would take the place of full-time IT staff that would otherwise be in-house. However, not all businesses have the same IT needs.
So, what can a managed services partnership do for you? Here at CHR, we put together seven reasons why you just might want to outsource your IT Services.
1. Reduce Risk
Every business decision, including investments, carries risk. Changes in regulations, technologies, and the market occur at a breakneck speed. MSPs will manage the risk for you and use their industry expertise in areas like security and compliance to minimize your risks.
2. Enhanced Security
Security is a huge focus for any organization. As your organization grows, so do your risks and so does the aftermath of a security breach. MSPs are able to leverage their knowledge and expertise to keep your corporate data safe and sound.
3. Predictable spending
One of the greatest benefits of an MSP is the ability to customize solutions for each client. This prevents you from paying for services that are already taken care of or completely unnecessary for your organization.
4. Lower Costs
The main draw of a managed services model is how much money it can save your business. Not only can an MSP provide a full IT team for a fraction of having one in-house, but it can help prevent expensive network problems.
5. Scalable Solution
As your business grows, the need for different IT skillsets can become a hurdle. With an MSP partnership, it is easy to pick and choose what expertise you need from them so you can add to your service plan as the needs arise.
6. Vendor Management
MSPs deal with software and hardware vendors for you. They’ll handle the complicated and technical conversations, so you don’t have to.
7. Focus on Revenue Generating Tasks
Businesses have limited resources, thus limiting the time and attention of every employee. With an MSP, your organization is able to free up a lot of time and energy for their internal IT staff. This means your IT staff can focus on projects and tasks that they are better suited to handle, while your MSP partner handles the rest.
