Benefits of outsourcing in the MSP industry

Technology is advancing every day, and the field of information technology is not also left behind; many businesses are embracing these constant changes, so your business must keep up with the pace for relevance's sake. However, these rapid changes may pose a challenge for a company to keep up with, especially when implementing the latest technology. Time, money, and resources are some of the factors that businesses look at when trying to keep up with technology, and at times, they can be a challenge. But this does not always have to be the case; your business can increase its efficiency at reduced costs by outsourcing the implementation and automation requirements. You can always benefit from outsourcing, whether small, medium, or large-sized MSP.

Businesses often face several IT challenges, and as an organization keeps growing, it might not be easy to manage IT services in-house effectively. Some of these challenges include expertise in multiple tools, 24*7 availability, difficulty in keeping up and adapting to the latest technology because of rapid changes, and finding & retaining varied skill sets. Increasing staff when scaling up is time-consuming and expensive, so outsourcing becomes essential to MSPs.

One can get various options and services by outsourcing some portfolio of managed IT services like

• RMM Administration and Configuration Management
• Automation as a Service
• Centralized Services – Getting a dedicated Tier 1/Tier 2/ Tier 3
• Help Desk – Dispatch & Incoming Call/Chat Support
• SOC Services – Cybersecurity and threat analysis
• NOC Services – Critical Alarm Monitoring, Tickets Sniffing Etc.

No company can stand on its own without relying on services from another company; no company can do it all, and MSPs are no exception either; they, too, face challenges like rising labor costs and skills gaps. So as an MSP, how do you deal with such? The answer is simple; you, too, should outsource. So how can MSPs benefit from outsourcing?

Benefits of outsourcing for MSPs

• It is cost-effective; this is the most significant incentive because you get quality services at a reduced cost, lowering operating expenses and effectively managing your capital budget. Instead of having your staff work on the problem and you being forced to increase their salaries, you can get quality services from an outsourced company at reduced costs and with less support or resources that an in-house team would require.
• It increases your focus and efficiency because you can invest your time and resources elsewhere. It allows you to focus on your services to other companies, increase performance efficiency, and grow your business.
• Your MSP might be experiencing a skill gap; outsourcing will help you get experts with extensive experience to help you identify problems and promptly solve them. Additionally, your staff can learn a few things from having help from the outsourced company; therefore, you not only get help, but it is also a learning experience.
• As an MSP, you work with not only one but several clients; since your focus is on the services you provide, you might find yourself paying little attention to your tool sets and automation. Outsourcing allows you to focus on your business while still providing committed services to your customers, and they are well taken care of.
• Outsourcing allows you to scale up without worrying about growing your in-house workforce to handle your company’s upsize; your focus will be on growing your clientele.
