How an MSP Can Save You Money

If you’re considering outsourcing your IT to a Managed Services Provider (MSP) then you know one of the benefits is cost savings. You might also know there are several additional benefits if you’ve read our article: Outsourcing Business IT Security: Pros & Cons. However, this article is going to focus on the cost savings because an MSP not only lowers costs for businesses of all sizes, but it can also provide an avenue for companies to increase their capital.

Let’s get into the specifics!

Lower your overhead cost.

In-house hardware can get very expensive; not to mention, there’s the high cost of the salaries and benefits of the employees who operate the hardware. Outsourcing to an MSP drastically lowers these costs.

Access to affordable expertise.

Training and maintaining an effective IT team in-house can be costly and time-consuming. Why pay extra to train and hire internal staff when an MSP gives you direct access to a collective team of industry-trained IT professionals in a variety of areas?

Increase internal resources.

It’s likely that there’s more to your business than managing IT and if you are pouring more resources into your IT infrastructure than you need to be, your core business functions could suffer. When you free up the money and staff, you can increase your bottom line and continue to grow your business.

Minimize downtime.

If your network goes down, everything comes to a halt. This can cause a major loss in productivity and, consequently, a big loss in money. An MSP will proactively monitor your network to reduce the risk of downtime and ensure to get you back up and running in no time in the event your network does go down.

Increase your security.

Security updates change daily. An MSP will stay on top of these changes to make sure you have the right security features in place at all times to protect your business. Securing your data should be a top priority in today’s world of hacking and data branches, both costly expenditures for businesses of all sizes.

Scalability.

An MSP will design your network to specially meet your current usage while always being ready for future growth because scaling your business should be a careful, methodical process.

Connect to the cloud.

An MSP will connect your business to the most secure and reliable cloud platforms that make the most sense for your operations. In doing so, efficiency and productivity will go through the roof, maximizing your bottom line.
