Celebrating Global MSP Day: Why Outsourcing Your MSP is Essential for Business Success

At LP Networks, we’re excited to celebrate Global MSP Day on the 6th June, which recognises the invaluable work of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and the importance of using them for your business and how they can be a game changer. 

What is a Managed Service Provider?

An MSP manages a business’s IT infrastructure and end user systems. It offers a range of services, including cybersecurity, technical support and network management. By outsourcing IT services you are allowing your business to focus on core activities and tasks whilst ensuring your IT operations are running smoothly and securely. 

Why Outsource Your MSP?

Cost Efficiency

Maintaining an in-house IT team can be very expensive, with costs to take into consideration such as salaries, training and equipment. However by outsourcing, your business can save money and always have a fixed cost instead of worrying about invariable costs with an in-house team. This means you only pay for the services you need and your business can work out its overall budget easier. This is particularly useful for small to medium sized businesses who may not have the need for a fully-fledged in house team.

MSPs offer you the ability to adjust to your requirements, whether that’s upgrading your network, adding more or less users or adding new services. This flexibility means your IT can grow alongside your business without disruptions and always work for your business needs.

If you need to manage your IT services it can take time away for other important business tasks. However if you outsource your IT management, you can save yourself time which can be used for strategic innovation and drive growth.
