Frequently Asked Questions

An MSP is a third-party service provider that enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) outsource some or all of their IT management to. The services offered by MSPs vary across service providers, and some specialize in specific IT areas, like cybersecurity. Other MSPs focus on specific industries, like healthcare and finances. IT services offered by MSPs range from cybersecurity to hardware procurement and everything in between. Basically, an MSP is a cost-effective, reliable alternative to having a massive in-house team, so enterprises, big and small, can stand toe to toe with competitors.

An MSP offers the best value when partnering with an existing IT team to support them in meeting business objectives. This can take many forms depending on the challenges a leader faces.

For example, they may have Tier 1 and 2 techs adept at handling known problems. However, you may need expert, architect-level assistance to overhaul and transform your enterprise’s IT infrastructure to remain competitive, productive, and secure. Or an MSP can take on everyday tasks, so a smaller, agile IT team has the time to focus on the bigger picture instead of constantly putting out fires.

Hosted IT services generally include servers, data centres, and IT infrastructure components that are externally located or hosted outside a customer’s premises by a third party. These services are usually hosted by an MSP

It doesn’t have to! An MSP can supplement an existing IT department. Managed IT services can give your team access to additional expertise and bandwidth to execute complex projects and drive business outcomes. This gives you back the capacity to focus on supporting your staff in their day-to-day tasks. Or your agile, in-house team can focus on handling big projects and driving business outcomes while we handle the day-to-day requests. It all depends on what type of work your team enjoys and where they would find an extra set of hands the most beneficial.

Together, we can ironclad your IT to support your organization’s security and productivity.

With the transition to remote work and cloud computing, the IT environment’s complexity is becoming exponential. Give your IT team the support they need by making managed IT services a resource they can turn to when needed.
