Don’t sign up with that IT Service Provider just yet!

The decision to sign up with an IT Service Provider is a big one--you are essentially trusting someone with the backbone of your business–your technology infrastructure, so you need to make sure you pick someone with whom you can have a mutually beneficial, long-term relationship. This blog discusses what you need to know before you sign up with an  IT Service Provider .

Values: Your  IT Service Provider is your technology partner and for your partnership to be smooth, make sure you pick an IT Service Provider whose core value system matches yours as a business.

Knowledge, skill set and experience: Does your  IT Service Provider have the skillset and the resources to cover all your IT needs? Are they experienced in working with SMBs? How long have they been in the business? Make sure you have satisfactory answers to these questions before you bring your  IT Service Provider on board.

Flexibility: Does your  IT Service Provider let you pick and choose whatever services you want, or do they sell it as a fixed package? Having the option to choose what you want lets you invest your money where you really need to.

Service and support: You are opting for an  IT Service Provider so you can get solid IT support--the kind you can’t get with an in-house IT team owing to resource constraints. So, make sure your  IT Service Provider will actually provide you that. Talking to their existing clients can help you figure out how good they are in terms of service and support.

To have a MSP manage your IT needs successfully, you need to create a strong partnership with them, where they help you grow and are agile enough to scale up or down to suit your business demands. There are plenty of IT Service Providers in the market, but not everyone will fit well with your needs.

Our recent whitepaper explores this in detail as it discusses the 8 things you need to know before you partner with an IT Service Provider for your IT services. Please click here to download the whitepaper.
