The 10 Best Questions to Ask When Vetting MSPs

Posted by Larry Dube

 

The new year can be a good time to address head-on those same old IT challenges that have been lingering for too long. So what are YOUR manufacturing company’s IT objectives this year? 

Freeing up internal staffers so they can focus on higher-value projects? Gaining more control over fluctuating IT costs? Tackling the security beast?  

To meet those goals, some IT managers may be able to leverage their own internal resources. Others may find that outsourcing all OR a subset of their IT services to a managed service provider (or MSP) is a cost-effective solution that can help drive your strategic initiatives for the future. 

But just like an internal hire, the MSP partnership relies on careful selection. Leaning on the wrong provider can lead to downtime, data loss and wasted dollars – leaving you in a worse position than when you began. 

To find the right MSP partner, it’s critical to ask the right questions. We’ve gathered those questions here, and put them into a checklist infographic that shows 10 Must-Ask Questions (along with a few quick tips) to guide you through the selection process.
