Your LA IT support provider should render you some level of profit based on your investment. If it isn’t, then you may need to upgrade whatever paradigms define your current tech model. If you don’t have managed services, there are a number of things to recommend them in terms of ROI, including:
- Labor Cost Reduction and Talent Maximization
- Less Complicated, More “Visible” Management
- Improved Management of Risk
- Unilateral Support
Labor Cost Reduction and Talent Maximization
Your LA IT support provider should save you tens of thousands of dollars in labor annually while delivering you better support. Consider: if you want a talented tech on your internal team, that tech will need to be a full-time employee, and you’ll have to offer them a competitive rate to stay with your organization. If you’re spending $30k a year on your tech professional, expect them to regularly drop the ball and have little passion for your business. If you’re spending $100k on your internal tech professional, then you should expect the best, but the question becomes— will that equal the cost of the internal employee?
Meanwhile, if you go with an outsourced option, you’ll get talent that has been maximized through the MSP’s hiring process, specifically for the purpose of service provision. You’ll also pay tens of thousands of dollars less because you won’t have to employ an MSP’s techs full time. You just pay a monthly fee for a certain level of service. If you outsource entirely to an MSP, you can likely get the same level of service you regularly would from an onsite solution but at a fraction of the cost.
Less Complicated, More “Visible” Management
With an MSP, those who manage your IT report to you directly and have an onus to be very quick in that reporting, as any delay may result in your operation cutting them loose and going with another MSP. With an internal solution, there are only so many places employees can be. It’s not that they don’t care about their jobs, it’s that they’re so busy playing catch-up that in terms of management, they aren’t very “visible”. With an MSP, there’s much more visibility, which diminishes complication and helps to streamline your business.
Improved Management of Risk
With an outsourced IT solution, you’ll have access to experience that has determined tech solutions for diverse clients. Accordingly, they can see problems on the horizon that internal techs within your company cannot. They can help you know which tech choices will serve your business better or worse. Ultimately, MSPs can manage sensitive data better, more thoroughly, and more comprehensively. This mitigates risk better than internal solutions.
Unilateral Support
An MSP can support your entire enterprise rather than just one aspect of it that’s manageable with a few internal employees. In summary: you’ll get more for less across your entire organization via MSP over onsite solutions.
