Managed Service Providers Increase Overall Productivity

Managed Service Providers (MSP) offer cost-efficient business solutions to leverage emerging technologies while increasing overall productivity.

Business owners across industries continually seek cost-effective solutions to increase productivity. Organizations of all sizes look to leverage evolving technologies, but struggle when an in-house IT department and budget are already strained or, in some cases, non-existent. To prevent the core business from suffering, many have perceptively opted to extend their IT to a Managed Service Provider (MSP).

MSPs are managed service providers who solely, or predominantly, manage day to day functions of business technologies. MSP encompass end to end services of installation, design, and monitoring of traditional and the latest technology systems, such as servers, data-storage, Cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Businesses find MSPs as an effective alternative to hiring specialized personnel for in-house IT and experience increase Return on Investment (ROI) through affordable and predictable pricing. In terms of Productivity, MSPs provide the flexibility to refocus efforts and resources to business growth.

More ways Managed Service Providers increase Productivity:

• Core-competency

Anyone in charge of maintaining technology systems who is not an IT expert can attest to the responsibilities as a 24/7 challenge. Implementing changes and upgrades, along with monitoring security risks alone requires full-time attention. Without a dedicated resource, overall productivity suffers. With an outsourced MSP, businesses and employees can concentrate on their core competencies, while still benefiting from up-to-date technologies without concern.

• Automated Tools

MSPs have numerous tools available to effectively manage and monitor IT systems to prevent interruption or downtime. Tools such as Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM), Patch Management, Malware Protection, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and Disaster Recovery (DR) ensure business continuity and mitigate security breaches, which are top priorities of business owners.

• Long-term Strategy

Working with an MSP requires constant and responsive communication between parties, so as to take full advantage of the latest trends, products, and services available. Access to knowledgeable experts streamlines consulting over technology assessments, design, and project management. Integrating an MSP should be approached as a solution that aligns with a business’ long-term strategy to grow and gain competitive advantages through innovative technology.

• Compliance

Emerging technologies such as the Cloud, SaaS, and Iaas, are obliged to constantly evolving global and national compliance regulations across industries such as healthca, finance, real-estate, and education. The worries of falling short of, being cited, or in extreme cases, losing a business over meeting mandatory Compliance standards are alleviated with MSPs who are well-prepared and experienced in providing specific commitments for protecting privacy, security, and data.
