Narrowed Business Focus
For many organizations, daily ticket items can fill up all of your Information Technology (IT) team's time. Between these daily ticket items, monitoring your security posture, and planning ahead for bigger picture IT security, many tasks can be slipping through the cracks.
By utilizing Partners First (PF) as your managed service provider, your internal staff can focus on their daily tasks, while PF takes care of the rest. Not only will your IT team be less overwhelmed with the amount of work piling up, your organization will be better protected leaving you time to proactively plan for the future.
Predictable Low Monthly Cost
A question that we repeatedly get asked is whether or not managed services can lower down costs? The answer is yes.
Managed services can not only lower your overall IT expense but can make your monthly costs more predictable. With our managed service packages, your total cost is a set to a fixed amount paid on a monthly basis. Based on your SLA and scope of work, you will avoid draining your IT budget by knowing exactly what your MSP will complete for you monthly. The pricing structure model can protect your IT budget from extreme fluctuation by improving the stability of your organization.
Minimized Downtime
A goal that every organization should have been to minimize overall downtime. In most cases, downtime occurs as a result of equipment issues such as servers failing, computers malfunctioning, electrical disruptions, and cyber-attacks. Partners First can implement systems to ensure there is a backup process in case there is a failure within the system.
What we often see with our clients is that in-house IT teams often do not have the bandwidth or expertise to tackle downtime issues effectively. Usually, these clients reach out to us after an issue has occurred. However, by engaging with PF you will prevent downtime from occurring in the first place via planned systems and functions in place.
