Why Small Businesses Should Consider A Managed Service Provider For Their IT Support and Managed IT Services

Today, it’s not just important but necessary to have a technology solutions provider in place if you are a small business. There are so many daunting issues facing small business owners today --hiring, employee retention, inflation, and supply chain. Of course, many businesses have been taking steps toward digital transformation to thrive in the Covid era. Looking for a tech partner who has all the skill sets to navigate today’s technology-driven world? Managed Service Providers, commonly referred to as MSPs, can bring great value to helping small businesses navigate a VUCA world. VUCA is an acronym used by many in business to describe the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity that businesses face today. Here are just a few of the ways an MSP provider can help you navigate the landscape with enterprise-level IT solutions.

1. Safety and  Cybersecurity

When was the last time you did a check to make sure your networks are resilient to a cyber attack? Are you sure you're up-to-date on your security methods to ensure your data as well as any internal information will not fall into the wrong hands? A security issue could cause a major blow to your reputation and put your company in jeopardy. Having the right cybersecurity plan in place is the best line of defense. NerdsToGo experts stand ready to implement best practices to proactively reduce risks and prevent, detect and respond to any attacks.

2. Peace of Mind for a VUCA World

How long do you think your business could operate without access to your files and data? Most small businesses would find business interruptions associated with data to be a barrier to revenue growth and customer satisfaction. Why not take the offense and ensure that your employee and customer data is secure, your systems are backed up and that you're set up to automatically save data. That way, it’s not something you have to think about. Keep it simple. NerdsToGo provides peace of mind and clarity in a volatile landscape.

3. Support

You have a business to run, and your daily operations can sometimes feel like the longest to-do list you’ve ever seen. Companies hire MSPs when it’s just not feasible to hire and retain all of the necessary skill sets to support IT continuity. MSPs handle the monitoring and compliance issues that businesses need to have in place to run effectively. It will take less time and energy so you can focus on what you do best. In fact, a December 2021 study conducted among SMBs reveals that 62% of businesses feel that leveraging technology allows them to spend more time with customers.*

4. Growth

A Managed Service Provider can be your helpful tech team to put together a strategic plan tailored to a small business’ needs for IT solutions and IT services. They can come alongside you to do everything from test internet speeds to monitoring your cloud storage and even adjust computer speeds so your team can be productive and not get bogged down.

So whether your business challenge is to increase speed, save yourself time as a business owner or improve ROI for the technology investments you’ve made for your business, an MSP is the ideal solution. With rising costs in today’s market, an MSP solution enables you to pay a recurring monthly fee while also allowing SMBs to have the advantage of a reduced entry point cost for cutting-edge technology.
