Should MSP’s Outsource In 2021?

As the aftermath of COVID-19 carries on so does the ever-growing need for MSP’s that can keep up. Following the news of the pandemic 88% of organizations, worldwide have made it mandatory or at least encouraged employees to work from home, Cyber-attacks have increased by nearly 400% and time spent on remote working apps/platforms have reached near triple-digit growth rates.

MSP’s worldwide have been placed in an unprecedented situation to grow but where should they begin? It starts with the center piece of every managed contract, Outsourcing Centralized Services.

An MSP’s greatest expertise at this time does not come from how much more technologically advanced they are from their competition but instead from the reliability and trust they develop with each one of their partners during these confusing times. Outsourcing backend activities will give you the time and resources to do this.

Skills and Expertise

The MSP tool kit is constantly expanding, while at the same time increasing the difficulty it takes to learn each new tool. The time it takes to master the latest and greatest within the industry can take weeks sometimes months and even still not achieve the results initially expected. Instead of training, managing, and investing time and money into an employee that historically is known for burning out, outsource to the experts. MSP’s at this time should never have to turn away a project due to workload/inexperience and when outsourcing the expertise, you won’t have to.

24/7 Management

At this time 24-7-365 IT management is a necessity, as a crisis can happen at any point especially when considering the 400% influx of cyber-attacks this year alone. Unfortunately finding in-house engineers with not only the skill set but also ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays is near impossible or extremely expensive. When outsourcing work, you receive the right techs for the right job who work day in and day out with the sole focus of growing your business. As 2021 rages on and the growing need for MSPs increase, we will continue to see a labor deficit of high-level technical resources and an even greater need for those who will be willing to work 24/7.

Scalability

Streamlining your MSP leads to endless scalability with labor costs under control and industry experts managing your backend activities your company’s focus shifts from daily ticket metrics to marketing and business development allowing you to capture the ever-growing market share that 2021 has brought forth.

At the end of the day every MSP’s main focus in 2021 should be building relationships and generating business while outsourcing what they’re not good at or don’t have the time to do.

Should MSP’s Outsource In 2021?

I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team, not as one of my vendors

When our NOC Manager left last fall we wanted to replace the position with an outsourced NOC to reduce headcount, and bring in an expert to both Labtech and our backup solutions. Bringing in ProVal Technologies was one of the best decisions we made last year and has paid for itself.During our first few monthly recurring Labtech admin meetings the ProVal team discovered incorrect settings and policies that were not applying correctly in our Labtech server. Things that we thought were automated and working were not. For example, there were multiple scripts and policies running but set to do nothing such as disk cleanup scripts. Cisco Umbrella was not configured correctly. Server alerting was not set right and the list went on.The backup team sends daily and weekly reports and updates that reduce my technicians time that we used to spend on backup or antivirus tickets that took forever and were tedious.ProVal also brings in great insights to our business and really cares about our success. They will frequently mention to me in meetings what new scripts they can import to make us more efficient or will schedule upgrades to our backups, Labtech, etc so I don’t have to worry. I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team not as one of my vendors.

They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results

We have been a long time user of Labtech and had tried for many years to manage the product internally with no real success at the level we needed to make our solutions more efficient for our customers. Once we hired Vikram and his team at ProVal, it solved all our pain points with the product and we really felt like we were leveraging the tool as it was designed. If this sounds like you and it’s keeping you up at night, then you need these guys. They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results.

They work well, fast and on budget

We met Vikram from ProVal Tech at Gary Pica’s Shnizzfest a year ago. Vikram explained the advantage of having trained, certified personnel take care of our recent Automate implementation. Even though we had taken an implementation package from ConnectWise to start up the program, we felt many custom configurations we needed for our business were lacking. We hired ProVal Tech after Automate was installed to help us with this task. From sales to technicians everyone was professional and knowledgeable. Onboarding was simple, and well documented. Tools on the web were supplied while we did the work, and they allowed us to track what was done, and see the improvements in the environment. It was easy to reach any of the team members, for any concern or question – all answered with courtesy and smile. Once the work was finished, we were given some training and explanations, add to that documentation, about the work and the scripts and features added to the program. We have been happily working with Automate since then. We can only recommend this efficient team of people for any work into Automate: they work well, fast and on budget.
