Many businesses start working with managed service providers to save themselves money and guarantee that their business has the best possible quality of IT service. 

However, there can be a concern for businesses with existing IT staff over engaging with a managed service provider because it can cause the existing staff to feel concerned that their future with the company. Managed service providers can be hugely beneficial to the existing staff and the wider company.

Expert mentoring

If you engage with a managed service provider, you will have access to IT professionals who have specialisms in a range of different areas. This can be of benefit to your existing IT staff because you can match staff with experts in their chosen fields so that they can receive mentoring and develop professionally. This will help them feel more satisfied in their roles and improve their future career prospects, and it also means that the company gains a qualified staff member and a reputation for investing in people.

To create an effective relationship between mentor and mentee, there are some things that you should consider:

  • The relationship between mentor and mentee is important. Mentors need to have enough time to dedicate to their mentees, so if you would like to use your MSP in this way, you should ensure that they are aware that this is what is expected. They should also be able to both support and challenge their mentee in a non-judgmental way.
  • It is important that mentor and mentee have compatible personalities, and it can be beneficial to pair a mentee with a mentor who has been through similar experiences to them. 

More focus on development

Managed service providers are responsible for ensuring that IT services remain operational and resolve any issues as they arise.

This role can be time-consuming and leave little time for personal development and learning about and implementing new technologies because it often involves maintaining the existing systems. By allowing MSPs to take on these responsibilities, existing team members can be utilized on project work, allowing them to develop professionally as they work to develop and implement new technologies.

Wellbeing

IT services must be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in case of cyber attacks or other bugs that can cause issues. 

Working at night isn’t good for workers because it interrupts natural sleep rhythms. Sleep is essential because it is when your body has the opportunity to repair itself. It helps to promote good heart health and circulation, lower stress, and manage metabolism.

MSP’s will often provide out-of-hours support as part of their contract with you, and because they have a large number of employees and specialist automated systems, it means that it does not fall to one or two team members to provide out-of-hours support.

This means that ultimately your existing team benefits from the increased wellbeing that comes with not having to work at night.
