One-Man IT Company vs. Managed Service Provider

THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDER

In 2021, if you are a small company and have chosen a one-man IT department to deploy your technologies, you are on the path to becoming a dinosaur. It is time to push aside the prehistoric ways of yesteryear because hiring a single in-house technician means you will be hindered by their limitations.

As your business continues to grow, it should expand beyond the capabilities of a one-man show. How will they have the time to manage tasks out of their league and still get to complain about the complexity of your servers? You will feel as if you are taking part in a circus act as your IT guy juggles rolling out new systems while maintaining your old ones. All of these issues will distract you from getting work done and the realization that your IT professional is the one that recommended these difficult servers in the first place.

We all know that business agreements can fall apart just as easily as relationships do. Issues like failed hard drives, data recovery, no internet, ransomware, and failed backups can lead to heartbreak with your one-man IT department. You will need a Managed Services Provider, or MSP, with cloud architecture that can be scaled up and down like no single person’s business. An MSP helps you virtualize your architecture and deploy cloud computing solutions.
