Finding A Provider That Works With And For You
Shopping for a managed service provider (MSP) is like shopping for a good car. You want one that’s sturdy and dependable and will last a long time. The technology should be state of the art, and the safety rating high. While we all have different needs and tastes, there are certain standards that should be offered by each.
Outsourcing the management of your IT services is becoming increasing popular as the need for greater security increases. By using an MSP, your organization frees up space with the already strained IT staff. Additionally, it gives you a second (and third) pair of eyes on your machines.
PC Matic MSPs not only provide their customers with their own levels of support, but also have the PC Matic support team behind them. This allows customers who receive their managed services from PC Matic partners to have their in house staff, their MSP, the PC Matic team, and PC Matic’s alerting and whitelist technology all acting as a watch guard.
So when shopping for managed service provider, consider the following.
Working Together
While some companies prefer a hands off method when outsourcing their IT, you should have the ability to work together with your MSP. Making sure your MSP gives you visibility into the alerting and management of your machines means you stay in the loop.
Flexibility
It should be easy to add and remove machines. You should also be able to reach your MSP in a reasonable amount of time and receive information on your systems when requesting it.
