Reduced expenses. Don't hire additional employees. Instead of building out an internal IT team, you can get the services that you need through an MSP. In markets such as New York, Azure managed services can help you avoid the expense of acquiring and retaining talented IT professionals. Your business might not need a fully equipped internal team, but it might still need access to a fully equipped team.
Better productivity. Your IT department won't be focused on putting out fires. Instead. they'll be able to focus on their real work: innovating and generating revenue. An MSP will be able to concentrate on daily tasks and automate other work as needed, increasing overall productivity for the organization.
Predictable costs. An MSP can provide services on a flat monthly cost or based on the amount of time spent, a far more predictable method than having to hire employees and outside contractors. Your organization can rely upon your MSP for all its Azure deployment and support needs, rather than having to hire experts when you encounter issues that you can't resolve with your internal team alone.
Specialized support. Managed services providers offer immediate access to experienced professionals. Most organizations can only afford to have a few general-purpose IT personnel. Specialized support personnel can respond more quickly to issues and threats, resolving them with greater effectiveness.
Improved security. Security is becoming a major issue for virtually every business. SMBs and enterprises face a constant onslaught from faceless attackers. An Azure managed service provider has more experience in securing businesses, as well as better technology.
An MSP with expertise in Azure can help the organization with their general managed services as well, though the value of the Azure deployment itself shouldn't be underestimated.
Customize your Azure deployment. When customized to a business, an Azure deployment provides far greater levels of value. Every business has unique needs and requirements. An MSP has the experience and expertise needed to identify the requirements of a business and suit their Azure deployment to meet them.
Manage your deployment with minimal disruption. Any deployment of new SaaS or IaaS carries the potential to be disruptive, both in terms of training and processes and in terms of the initial transition. When properly handled, an Azure deployment will be as seamless as possible. Through experience and training, an MSP can plan for the least disruptive deployment strategy.
Take advantage of the cloud and cloud services integrations. Through Azure integration services, an organization will be able to take advantage of their third-party resources as well as their Azure deployment, and will be able to utilize the full advantages of the cloud. If current third-party solutions can't be integrated into Azure, new solutions can be found.
With a managed Azure deployment, your New York organization can be well on the way to taking advantage of Azure's services without any risk of disruption. It will also be able to use Azure to its advantage without the burden of additional administrative labor.
