Did you know that according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, one out of four businesses affected by a disaster fails to reopen?

Having a robust disaster recovery plan in place can mean the difference between keeping your business afloat and closing its doors. However, developing a solid disaster recovery plan can be a daunting task for an inexperienced small business owner.

That’s why you need a managed service provider (MSP) that takes the onus off of you so you can concentrate on what you do best—running a successful business. MSPs help small businesses:

• Reduce and control costs: Hiring and training IT personnel can be expensive. MSPs are trained, experienced and qualified to keep your IT infrastructure up and running at all times. Outsourcing your IT needs also allows you to budget effectively. In other words, you only pay for what you use when you need it.

• Improve security and uptime: The ultimate goal of MSPs is to support businesses, and increased uptime is crucial to that effort. Organizations that outsource tasks, such as security monitoring and backup, are more likely to stay ahead of IT-related issues.

• Future-proof technology: Best-in-class MSPs use bleeding-edge technologies and equipment to deliver services so businesses don’t have to worry about services becoming obsolete.
