Is your MSP the right partner to grow with your New Hampshire business? Have they taken the time to plan a strategy that will evolve as your business grows?
Many businesses rely on their Managed IT Service Provider in Manchester, NH, to work with them as the company grows. That means that MSPs have to have the skills and knowledge of how to keep your company’s technological solutions growing and evolving in concert with the business’ growth. But, many MSPs lack the needed depth and breadth of skills or the strategic experience that would translate into a well-crafted and executed plan for your company as you grow.
There are four major areas that can happen if your MSP lacks vision and strategy.
1. The MSP isn’t looking for any risks to your business.
Every business has some IT-related security and operational risks. Top-tier MSPs know this, and they add value by actively recognizing and prioritizing risks along with options to mitigate them. If you’re not having discussions about your risks periodically with your MSP, then there’s something missing in your relationship. The best MSPs use intelligent automation technology to mitigate many risks in real time.
2. Your MSP isn’t advising you on products they don’t sell.
If your MSP is a true partner with you as you grow, then they are concerned with every part of your business’ technology, even if they don’t sell them. They should be invested in your success whether they make any money on it or not.
3. They always throw their familiar tech at your problems.
While your business has some things in common with other companies, there are some aspects that are unique to your company. Your growth strategy is based on where you’re successful, and not just a cookie-cutter plan. Your MSP should be strategically assessing what answer meets today’s needs, and how to evolve that solution for future needs.
4. They aren’t thinking ahead to your next level of business.
While you have been successful with the processes, technology and skills that have gotten you this far, you may need to learn new pathways to grow in the future. MSPs with vision have experience managing IT operations that are more secure, productive, efficient, and scalable that your current system. They should work with you and listen to your concerns when communicating with you about your future.
As your business grows, your MSP should be a key asset in achieving success, or you should look elsewhere for a new partner. However, you can find out if your partner has the vision you need before you’re actively growing.
Here are questions to help you understand if your current MSP has the vision to help your company grow.
