As discussed in Part 1, an MSP (Managed Services Provider) can automate and streamline your business operations in the cloud. The following will discuss four more business advantages of cloud managed services. Part 2 will discuss Cybersecurity, Expert IT Staff, Regulatory Compliance, and Shorten Time to Market.

5) Cybersecurity

Companies of every size are being victimized by cybercrime every single day. Fortunately, working with an experienced MSP will strengthen your organization’s defenses against cyberattacks. They will work with your team to evaluate the protection required by your business data and IT systems on-premises and in the cloud. In addition, the most prominent cloud computing providers, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure, provide best-in-class cybersecurity to their customers.

6) Expert IT Staff

Your company may be deploying solutions in a private, public, or hybrid cloud. It is likely that your employees do not have the necessary experience and skills needed to utilize cloud services and fix problems. When you retain a cloud MSP, you can benefit from the dedicated support of IT professionals who are highly skilled and available around the clock. They will be able to fill the knowledge gaps of your in-house staff, make an accurate assessment, and carry out the tasks needed to address issues.

7) Regulatory Compliance

Whether your organization provides financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, or insurance, it will likely be under stringent industry regulations regarding sensitive personal information and its privacy and security. Retaining a reputable and experienced cloud MSP to manage the storage and protection of your company’s sensitive data will help you stay compliant with strict government regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

8) Shorten Time to Market

Retaining a skilled MSP will allow your company to improve its management of IT infrastructure. Better performance by your company’s cloud solutions can lead to greater efficiency, shortening the time to market of business initiatives and promoting profitability.
