Is It Time To Change Your IT Service Provider?
When it comes to choosing your Managed IT Service provider, this is important and can have a real impact on your business. Does your present MSP(Managed Service Provider) make you feel confident that they have your companies back when it comes to your IT infrastructure and Cyber Security? Do they work proactively behind the scenes, or have you noticed standards they once had or at least what you expected starting to slip? Then it is time to decide and think about making a change, here are some reasons that should have a rethink about your current MSP:
Have they kept up with the growth of your business?
When you first started with your MSP, your business was probably still young and in the very early stages of growth and your IT support partner was a great fit for your business, the thing is, you and your team is ambitious and have grown and perhaps your MSP has not been able to keep up and just can’t seem to provide the service you are looking for.
Are they proactive?
Perhaps their response times and standards have slipped, and the same problems are recurring again and again, and you and your staff seems to be constantly firefighting issues that have not been rectified and the problems are persisting. These ongoing issues that are not being rectified can be very frustrating for you and your team. Do they simple just apply a band aid fix instead of looking deeper into the problems and getting it fixed once and for all. Proactive IT support providers are good at collaborating with you and your team and are always looking to implement a long-term strategy for your growing business
Are you confident in their abilities?
Are you and your team still confident in the support you receive daily? If not, what would happen if there was a major issue, like a disaster with your IT systems or even a Cyber security breach, would they be able to deliver a recovery solution.
Do they share the same vision as you?
Are they looking at the big picture of your business and how you intend to proceed over time, are they advising you of new and emerging technologies that are forth coming and suggesting ways to improve by building good solid IT infrastructure foundations for long term growth. They should be advising and helping you embrace new technologies and helping you keep up with the latest trends and IT kit.
What to do next?
It can be risky staying with a MSP that does not deliver high standards of support to your growing business, with declining support, lost time due to firefighting issues, frustrated employees can have ramifications throughout your business and at the end of the day cause financial loss.
