3 Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing an MSP Partner
1. A True MSP Partner Will Ask the Right Questions
• What specific resources do you need from your provider?
• Are there certain characteristics and specifications you need to support your workflows?
• What sort of data storage and migration challenges have you encountered?
The right technology partner will be more concerned with gaining an understanding of where your IT stands and where you want your technology to take you than listing their awards and technical expertise.
2. A Reliable Technology Services Provider Will Offer 24/7/365 Support
This may seem negotiable, especially for professional service organisations that operate on an 8-to-5 schedule, but it should be a deal breaker regardless of your industry. Disasters and cyber threats have no regard for your schedule.
You need the option to speak to a service technician or business continuity expert at any time to correct an issue. When it comes to IT support, it’s better to have the option and not need it, than to find yourself in the middle of an emergency and have nowhere to turn.
3. The Right IT Managed Service Provider Will Offer Detailed Asset Tracking
An MSP that values transparency is more likely to foster a partnership that’s a good fit for your business. Look for a provider that offers:
• Asset inventory management
• Hardware and software reporting metrics
• Assistance with asset tracking and compliance reporting
• Detailed work audits
• Warranty tracking
These types of reports provide a basis for accountability and a reference point for you to ensure you’re getting the most out of your service contract.
Finding the right Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner is a crucial decision that requires thoughtful consideration and research. While it may not happen overnight, investing the time to select the perfect MSP will undoubtedly yield significant benefits for your business in the long run. A reliable MSP can play a pivotal role in transforming your business operations, enhancing productivity, and boosting profitability. By leveraging their expertise, you can streamline your technology services and regain control of your IT infrastructure and finances. Contact us and put our experts to the test.
