Many businesses are making the decision to transition their IT Support over to a Managed Service Provider (MSP). But what exactly is an MSP, and what role do they serve businesses?
A Managed Services Provider (MSP) makes sure you won’t have to deal with the day-to-day maintenance of networks, systems, software, and applications.
MSP’s help small and midsize organizations compete, keep their IT secure, and avoid downtime. They also assist organizations by providing outstanding service to their customers and help mitigate cyber security risks.
Here at Summit IT specifically, our goal as an MSP is this: to become a partner with our end client, and to have them think of us as an extension of their business. We want to stabilize and secure their IT environment and help them soar in their business.
So how do you know when it’s time to switch to an MSP, or switch providers?
