As web-based transactions and cloud software / cloud data storage are becoming the new norm for small business, companies have increased pressure and responsibility to ensure their customers’ as well as their own information is secure. Credit card numbers, addresses, social security numbers, and trade secrets are just some examples of data commonly placed in the cloud. Protecting this information can be expensive and stressful, especially for a small business owner who doesn’t have a technical background.
-
Potential cost savings. If you have lots of IT service call needs or lots of help desk requests, a managed service can often be cheaper than using break / fix service or having a full IT staff in-house.
-
Incentive alignment vs. break / fix. Break / fix services charge hourly rates that incentivize them to do more work, while MSPs are incentivized to give you secure solutions that maximize uptime and minimize repairs.
-
No need to stay on top of technical advances. When you outsource to an MSP, they’re responsible for staying on top of technical advances and new software / hardware so that you don’t have to.
-
More secure. A solution implemented by an MSP is more likely to prioritize security than a solution implemented by a non-technical employee.
MSPs are experienced in gathering the necessary resources and software to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands, and helping fix the situation when disaster strikes. Managed security and disaster recovery services can help you avoid devastating business crises and help strengthen customer relationships and trust.
