Getting the best from your managed services
Technology should always be an enabler, helping your business run smoothly, securely and efficiently. Yet managing all your IT needs in-house can often mean juggling complex challenges, when you should be focusing on your core business.
Many SMEs rely on managed service providers (MSPs) for their IT needs. But are you getting the best from your outsourced IT services? If not, it could be time to take a closer look at your IT support strategy.
And if you’ve yet to explore managed services, but tech challenges are getting in the way of growth, you may be ready for a different approach. Read on and let’s take a look at your MSP options.
Why businesses are moving to managed services
Outsourcing your IT isn’t just about fixing problems. It’s about preventing them in the first place. That’s because the best providers don’t wait for things to break. With a proactive approach, your managed service provider will ensure potential issues are spotted and resolved before they cause any disruption.
By working with the right external IT experts, you can keep your business safe, with proactive security, while staying efficient with cost-effective, optimised solutions. Not only does your business gain access to top-tier technology and expertise, but you’ll also keep those IT costs predictable and under control.
When choosing or reassessing your MSP, it’s important to understand if you're getting the right value from your current provider or if there’s a better option available. There are four key elements to consider: flexibility, integrated security, dedicated support, and proximity. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
Flexible plans, designed to evolve with your business
Whether you’re managing a rapidly expanding startup or running an established business, you need a scalable solution. One that can be tweaked and adjusted to match the changing requirements of your company.
Having flexibility means you only pay for what you need. It gives you more control over your IT spend while allowing you to access the latest tools and technologies to stay competitive.
Integrated security, to give you peace of mind
The security of your business is more important now than ever before. With cyber threats evolving and phishing scams becoming more convincing, you need comprehensive protection. Your chosen provider has to take care of data encryption, firewall management and threat detection, as well as ensuring that your IT systems are continuously monitored and secured.
The right integrated security solution will help you reduce your risks and comply with industry standards, letting you focus on your business with confidence, knowing your data is protected.
Dedicated support and expert guidance
Reliable support is vital for the success of any business. You need expert help that’s available whenever you require it. Whether it's troubleshooting an issue or seeking advice on IT strategy, your specialists have to be no more than a phone call away.
Local IT experts with the knowledge you need
Not only should your chosen IT experts understand the unique challenges and opportunities that your business has to deal with. They also have to be based close to you, to ensure you receive fast, on-the-ground support when you need it most.
What's more, if your chosen partner has the global strength and reputation of a brand like Vodafone, then the combination of local expertise and global reach means your IT needs are met with the perfect balance of personalised care and world-class capability.
If your current setup isn’t delivering the level of service you require, then it might be time for a change.
