Are you choosing a new managed service provider for your business? It’s a huge decision as you’re entrusting a firm with access to your network, and the responsibility for helping secure it. So, how do you make the right choice? Following these steps can help set you up for success.
Do you regularly make more than one service call for the same problem? Are you not told about options to improve your network security? Facing other issues with your current IT provider? Identifying these issues is key before you begin your search.
How important is reliable IT to your operation? Would you like to move to cloud services? Do you need to meet regulatory requirements? Understanding your needs before seeking out proposals ensures the right fit for your business.
Start by asking your business associates for references and searching the web for managed service providers. From there, schedule a face-to-face discussion and ask pointed questions to gauge if they’re the right fit.
Since IT is largely “invisible,” a proposal will help you better understand what you’re buying. Pay attention to the overall appearance and readability of the proposal, as these often translate to the attention to detail you’ll receive as a client.
