Tired of Paying the High Price for IT Support?
MSP IT Support is expensive and often not well suited to your business. Why pay more for services you don’t need?
Why Hire Intero to Handle Your Microsoft 365?
Millions of businesses around the world rely on Microsoft 365 for their daily business operations. Many businesses use the M365 suite as their primary software packages, especially for small and medium sized firms across all industries. This means that Microsoft 365 and its full suite of programs are more essential for many businesses than some executives might initially think. This is why having a dedicated team that specializes in M365 operations is so vital.
Why not an MSP?
Many businesses rely upon a managed services provider or MSP to handle their IT services, including their M365. However, the inconvenient truth is that many businesses do not rely upon a majority of the services which MSPs offer in their bundles, while also locking their customers into length contracts which. This leads to businesses paying more than they need to for services they do not need. The fact is that for many businesses, Microsoft 365 services are really all they need, and yet they hire IT companies who are trained to service and maintain more complicated programs. What this means is both that businesses do not get the specialized service that they require and also that they are paying too much for a company which is not well suited for their needs. If you really only use Microsoft 365 in your day to day business operations, why not hire a firm that specializes specifically in Microsoft 365, one that does not use lengthy contracts or packages with services or platforms that you do not need. Additionally, many MSPs are overspecialized; they focus on very specific aspects of their industries. This means that they are extremely useful for advanced technical aspects, supporting specialzied programs but with that you also pay premium pricing again often for services that your business does not need.
The Hidden Cost of MSP
Managed Service Providers use restrictive contracts and high pricing models, often because business owners don’t know there is another way. They bundle packages and services which most businesses do not need, and charge high prices in order to support those more specialized technical services which again, many businesses do not actually make use of. Customers have noticed that MSP premiums have only continued to rise, making it harder and harder to stay on budget, despite the fact that the services they provide for businesses remain the same. The fact is, many businesses are ill-suited for the MSP model; they require simpler solutions and are paying for expertise they don’t actually need. Intero can provide another way, a way to save money and save time, all while avoiding lengthy contracts or deceptive pricing packages.
What about my internal IT technician?
Many businesses also have an internal IT support employee or department who helps to handle their business’ technological needs. These employees are the backbone of these companies, keeping everything running. The fact is, though that they must juggle many different duties, from hardware like printers, routers, and monitors to the different programs which your businesses utilize. Hiring a Microsoft 365 specialist to help your business does not necessarily mean that you have to replace your existing employees; quite the contrary.
