Many organizations find themselves in a position where they can’t afford to hire a dedicated IT staff member, but they also can’t afford *not* to have IT support. This is where an MSP can be a great fit.

MSPs, or managed services providers, allow organizations to offload some, or all, of their IT responsibilities to a third party. In many cases, this is more cost-effective than hiring a full-time employee. In addition, MSPs often have a wider range of expertise than a single IT technician might possess.

Benefits of Working With an MSP

Cost Savings:

As mentioned previously, MSPs can often be more cost-effective than hiring a full-time employee.

Hiring a full-time internal IT expert can be very costly. In our area, expect at least $60k salary plus benefits.

How does an MSP make that better?

With Pugetech Networks, you pay a set rate for the number of employees you have, and we’ll manage your IT infrastructure and help your employees as needed.

We’re able to do this at much lower cost due to scale compared to if a business hires its own IT department.

After-hours support

Many MSPs offer After-hours support, so you can rest assured that your IT systems are being monitored and maintained around the clock.

Proactive maintenance

MSPs can proactively monitor your systems and identify potential problems before they cause downtime, and cost your business the precious time and money you’d much rather invest in growing your business.

Scalability

Many MSPs, including Pugetech Networks, offer tiered packages. As your organization grows, your IT needs will change. Your organization may find benefit in a higher tier as you continue to grow, and it’s an easy way to scale up your IT management alongside your organization’s growth.

Is an MSP Right for Your Organization?

If you’re struggling to keep up with your IT needs, if you’re looking for a more cost-effective way to manage your IT infrastructure, or perhaps if you don’t even know where to start, then an MSP may be the right choice for your organization.

Consider the following questions:

What is your budget for IT support?

What are your organization’s IT needs?

Do you have the internal expertise to manage your IT infrastructure?

How much downtime can your organization tolerate?

 

The answers to these questions will guide your decision about whether an MSP is right for you.
