If you’ve looked around the Integracon website, you might have seen that we’re the leading MSP with nearly two decades of experience in the world of IT strategy and support. While it’s easy to quantify how we’re an experienced IT company, we wanted to dig into what a MSP is — and what they can do for your business. Let’s get started.
What’s a MSP?
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a company that remotely manages a client’s (from small to large businesses) IT infrastructure and/or end-user systems. This is usually done under a subscription-based model, rather than a break/fix or on-demand pricing model, so that IT work can be implemented and managed proactively. This allows the client to improve operations, cut expenses, stay up-to-date on technology, and have access to skilled IT professionals.
Why Your Business Needs a MSP
For businesses large and small, maintaining and managing IT can be a real challenge. For one, IT is always evolving, but there’s also the constant need to stay on top of technology (devices and knowledge) and to control the costs associated with in-house IT training, certifications, and trends. The truth is, most businesses just don’t have time — or the budget — to individually make sure their IT strategy is consistently at peak performance. With a managed service provider on your team, you no longer have to worry about those things — they provide the technology and knowledge to give you and your company the competitive IT advantage (at a more controllable cost).
