Managed Service Provider (MSP)

A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a third-party business that provides network, application, and system management services to companies. MSPs allow businesses without IT expertise to improve their cybersecurity framework and avoid potential security incidents. MSPs often work remotely, offsite from the company they’re performing IT tasks for but do go onsite to ensure success in various IT projects when needed. MSPs allow small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to reduce their IT budget, be cost-effective, and focus on the core business.

MSPs will perform a number of tasks that typical staff members may not be able to do. Examples include:

• IT project upgrades and server management/deployment/migration to the cloud
• Network deployment, management and security
• Data Backups and Restoration Systems
• Printing, Wifi network deployment, and application installation/support
• Patching of Devices 
• Risk Assessments
• Policy and Process Creation
• Awareness and Product Training for your Staff
• Phish Testing of Staff
• Dark Web Monitoring of Staff Data
• Antivirus/Antimalware Deployments
• SPAM prevention and email security

MSPs do all this and more.  You can uniquely benefit from their experience and knowledge supporting not only your business but those of dozens of other companies in the area.  All that experience means they can usually resolve your issues quickly and effectively.  With flat-rate billing, it’s in their interest and yours to fix your problem properly the first time.
