Scaling up to offer 24-hour technical IT support comes with some unique considerations that range from cost and staff to strategy and planning. The strategy you choose needs to take into account your customers’ needs, the hours of coverage and your business goals and expansion plans.

At Inbay we are seeing a large increase in MSPs extending their service offerings to 24/7 coverage due to flexible working brought on by the pandemic. But, MSPs that are looking to extended their service offering also have to consider other aspects of their business, not just their services.

In this blog Matt Takhar will be covering ‘The top 5 considerations when extending your services to 24/7’

MSP organisations have been dealing with the effects of the pandemic for well over a year now and it seems as though we will soon be transitioning back to “normal”. Many businesses have started outsourcing their services since the pandemic and with this there are many advantages. When the pandemic took the world by storm millions of companies quickly switched to a remote work model, some began to consider outsourcing more seriously – and many took action to implement it into their business model.   

It appears that the most commonly outsourced MSP services are NOC, help desk, and out-of-hours services, however there are other options available which other businesses benefit from, such as security services, dedicated technical resources and more. It’s important to still have some key skills in-house to be able to properly manage outsource relationships for the end client, internal users, and the outsourced partner.
