ETech 7 On Choosing the Right Managed IT Services
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 06, 2018 -- Known as one of the constants in today’s fast-paced world, IT has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Nowadays, there exists a plethora of options in choosing the right managed IT services provider – it’s just a matter of figuring out what would best suit your business.
ETech 7, a leading managed IT services provider in New York City, focuses on serving small to medium-sized businesses. ETech 7 CEO, Emil Isanov, gives a brief breakdown of the factors to consider in choosing the right managed IT services provider for your startup business.
“First things first – understanding what managed IT is,” says Isanov. “There’s nothing worse than outsourcing your IT needs to a company that does not understand what managed IT means. Having enough familiarity and enough know-how about what your company needs and what we can do for your company is essential in building a harmonious relationship between client and customer.”
“After figuring out what your company needs to keep its daily operations going, you now have to find a managed service provider (MSP) that will cater specifically to your needs,” adds Isanov. “For example, a law firm would need to opt for a plan that secures its clients’ information; whereas a restaurant chain may not need the same services.”
Understandably, the decision always rests with you – the business owner. However, Isanov makes it clear that it is incumbent upon the owner to do his or her own research to gain at least a minimal understanding of his or her business’ unique needs. This should not deter business owners from asking MSPs questions, as Isanov explains below:
“Finally, IT consulting companies and managed service providers must be able to tell you what you need or what you don’t need. Usually, managed IT services come as a package but, almost always, it may be customized to what your business needs. Additionally, it is important to note that customizing your managed IT plan will affect what type of service you are going to get.”
Isanov further explains that regulated industries, such as legal and healthcare, that deal with significant amounts of sensitive information not only requires strict cyber security services but also vast storage space. Retailers, for example, may only need firewall protection to safeguard customer payment information as opposed to healthcare providers needing extensive storage and cybersecurity features to their managed IT plans.
“With the amount of managed IT support providers out there, it won’t be easy to make the right decision,” concludes Isanov. “It is important to note that an MSP’s duties are two-fold – the obvious one is doing their job and the not-so-obvious one is making sure that each client, recurring or prospective, understands their own unique needs. At least, that’s how ETech 7 does things.”
