The use of Managed Service providers (MSPs) among small and medium-sized businesses in every industry has grown. Managed Service providers can help improve productivity, lower costs, and free your team to focus on essential tasks.
Here are the top 10 ways businesses can leverage Managed Services relationships in 2023!
1. Control Costs – Budget predictability is one of the key benefits of working with a provider. Engaging a provider will shift your organization from out-of-control spending to predictable budgets in 2023.
2. Reduced Vendor Relationships – Fewer vendors mean you have better accountability, fewer invoices to deal with, and a single contact person.
3. Improved Security – Your MSP will help protect your data by implementing a comprehensive security strategy to detect attacks and security gaps. Before any potential issue, they will implement proactive data recovery systems and business continuity plans.
4. Employee Awareness Training – The first line of defense is identifying phishing attempts. Your provider will train your team to be aware of current threats, how to recognize phishing, and what to do to lower your risks.
5. Replace Legacy Phone Systems – Cloud-based telephony, or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), improves phone call quality, significantly lowers costs, and allows advanced features your legacy system can’t provide.
6. Unified Communications – VoIP allows you to combine all your business communications into a single platform. Features include phone service, SMS, text, video, call forwarding, and more!
7. Digital Transformation – Digitizing documents reduces your use and reliance on paper processes. Automating manual tasks can save time, reduce human errors, eliminate redundancy, and lower costs.
8. Print Management – A Managed Print Services provider can take control of your print environment, streamline processes, and reduce costs!
9. Cloud Strategy – Your MSP team can help you to migrate all or part of your on-premise infrastructure to the cloud.
10. Business Continuity – In a world facing increasing cybercrime, your Managed Services provider will ensure that a backup and disaster recovery plan is in place to keep your business up and running should the unthinkable happen.
