Using a Managed IT Service Provider can bring your company a whole multitude of benefits. Whether they act as your whole external IT department, or as an extension of your in-house IT team, check out the list below of benefits you could see when working with someone like 1-Fix.

Cost Efficiency

Predictable costs that operate on a subscription model allowing business to budget their IT expenses so you would be paying on a monthly basis 


There are also lower operational costs. Instead of hiring full time IT staff and investing in costly hardware or software, business can save on expenses by outsourcing their IT needs to provider that manages infrastructure and support 


Expertise and experience 

Managed service providers (MSPs) employ IT experts with specialised knowledge, ensuring businesses have access to the latest technologies and solutions. 


Up to date expertise - MSPs stay current on industry trends, security protocols, and compliance regulations, keeping the business updated without the need for internal training. 


24/7 monitoring and support

Proactive monitoring - MSPs use monitoring systems for any issues that may arise, and often even identifies and fix problems before they cause any substantial problems to an organisation.   


Round the clock monitoring - Proactive maintenance leads to fewer outages or system failures, improving operational efficiency and reducing productivity losses.  This includes monitoring systems 24/7 so your systems are always protected.


Enhanced Security

Improved cybersecurity - Managed IT services often include security features like antivirus software, threat detection, and regular security audits, providing robust protection against cyberattacks. 


Compliance Support - For industries with strict data protection regulations, MSPs help ensure compliance with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. 


Scalability & Flexibility

Managed IT services can scale with business growth, easily adjusting to the changing size and scope of IT needs. Whether a company needs additional support during high-demand periods or less during quieter times, services can be scaled accordingly.


Access to new technology

MSPs often provide access to the latest IT advancements, reducing the time and investment businesses need to update systems. 


Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Data Protection - MSPs often offer backup solutions and disaster recovery plans, ensuring that critical business data is safely stored and recoverable in the event of a breach or hardware failure. 


Business Continuity - Managed IT providers help ensure continuity by enabling companies to recover quickly from unforeseen incidents.


Better Vendor Management

Single point of contact -  MSPs can often manage relationships with multiple IT vendors on behalf of the business, simplifying interactions and making it easier to deal with various technology providers.
