With the speed technology moves these days, it is easy to overlook important criteria when choosing an IT support firm. Finding a dependable company among the dozens in your cities market can make it a huge chore as all of them claim to be do the same things. That's where MSP Business Directory comes in! We have taken the time to take care of that checklist and provide your company with solid starting points to find pre-vetted & reputable firms your company can depend on. We encourage you to review our tips below and remember to always ask for customer testimonials so you can contract with complete confidence.

Are they local?

The first factor to consider when evaluating is proximity to your business. If they are a local company, then it will be much easier & faster for them to respond to your it support requests in person when your company is in need of assistance. If they are not a local company, it is much more difficult to rely on them when you are in need. This is one of our greatest screening criteria when selecting the best option.

What will it take to get started?

The second step we recommend is to see how well their initial setup parameters meet your business needs. You will need to make a checklist of what your needs are first so you can share that with them. Start by listing the current challenges your business network faces, how you would like to see them address, as well as any possible problems you foresee.

After setup, what is their ongoing break-fix policy?

The next factor your company needs to consider is ongoing maintenance. Once the network & other systems are in place, you need to review what your potential IT company will do to ensure those systems continue to function. Preventative checklists provided by their firm will help your staff maintain technology efficiently. Periodic maintenance reviews by your IT company's techs will also be helpful to ensure your new systems continue to meet your businesses needs.

Network Security is critical, how is your network protected?

One of the most important factors to consider no matter what the size or nature of your business is network security. Financial records, customer information, and your confidential business data have to be preserved and protected from hackers and scammers.
