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.

MSP’s globally rely on their Remote Monitoring Management (RMM) platform to automate IT management, drive technician efficiency, and improve your bottom line.  RMMs help MSPs monitor their clients’ endpoints, networks, and computers. A well utilised and optimised RMM platform is absolutely essential for a successful MSP business.  

Unfortunately, there are a few mistakes that MSPs commonly make that, if avoided, could make RMM platforms work more efficiently.

Outsourcing IT services is now one of the most debatable topics, even more so after the pandemic. Companies around the globe are using this business strategy to grow their business by reducing the operating costs & increasing the quality of services.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions detect and remove malware on endpoints of your network. They can detect malicious activity and isolate threats before they spread. Endpoints broadly refer to devices connected to a local or wide area network such as modems, switches, laptops, routers, or printers.

Selling cybersecurity products is no longer a consideration. Every organisation, whether it be large or small, is open to an attack. Business size is not a factor for Cybersecurity attackers. So, whether you have a security offering or not, you as an MSP are going to be dealing with cybersecurity issues. At some point, your client will be the victim of an attack and you will be dealing with those issues at what could be a cost to you – unless you have a security offering in place or a cybersecurity clause that admits any cyberattacks in your contracts.

IT projects are complex and time-sensitive, often involving significant cost. It is vital that your MSP business has the right team in place to ensure your client’s projects are completed successfully and on-time.
