Work With a Managed Service Provider or Hire Internal? 3 Reasons to Consider Outsourcing or Co-Managed IT

It is common for businesses to assume an internal staff will always be the best choice without considering the benefits of outsourcing to a group with a wide range of experience and skills, as well as, extensive knowledge. While there are certain benefits of having an internal staff, this article aims to highlight specific benefits of working with a managed IT service provider that should be considered.

We often get asked, “Why should I work with an IT provider that is not onsite, when I can hire an internal IT guy?” It is a great question, because decision makers that have not worked with an MSP may assume it is a more expensive and less responsive method than onsite support.

While there are undeniable benefits of having a team member onsite, there are compelling reasons to consider an MSP.

Reliable IT Support

Reliable IT Support

IT needs to be stable and reliable 24/7/365. Having an internal IT department is great, but how do you account for sick days, paid leave and unexpected staffing turnover? A stable technology requires non-stop support to ensure productivity and uptime is optimized.

Working with an MSP can help reduce the worry of unexpected downtime. Having a proactive team of IT engineers working 24/7/365 can help you achieve a reliable and stable IT environment without the worry of always keeping your staff available.

Security Oriented Support

Security Oriented Support

Having a consistent and reliable team on your side is especially important in regard to cybersecurity. Approximately 76% of cyber security infections have the attack begin during the weekend or after business hours. This can be mitigated by having an MSP that offers a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) that can respond to incidents regardless of time of attack.

There are a variety of security services that should be employed to properly manage and secure your business, including:

Consistent IT Support

Consistent Support Team

IT professionals work in a highly competitive field that drives engineers to proactively learn new skills, seek out new job opportunities and secure higher paying roles. While this is a positive for the engineer, it can be difficult for businesses to maintain top IT talent.

When your top IT talent leaves your organization, they take all of the knowledge they have gathered about your company with them and often leave your organization with little documentation. Working with a managed service provider ensures you have consistent support that is well documented. Your team does not have to spend time hiring, training, and onboarding new team members that are unfamiliar with your infrastructure.

Benefits of working with a consistent managed service provider include:

  • Avoid the ongoing hiring and training cycle of new IT staff
  • Extensive knowledge of systems, applications, and processes
  • Consistent support from a large team of IT professionals
  • 24x7x365 point of contact for support issues
  • Scalability that matches the growth of your company
