Learn what a Managed Service Provider (MSP) is, the services they offer, and how partnering with an MSP can boost your IT uptime, security, and business growth.

 

If your IT partner is checking the boxes but something still feels off—this post is for you. Great IT support should feel seamless, strategic, and stress-free. If you're not quite there yet, these five questions can help you uncover areas for improvement and set a higher bar for your technology partnership.

 


1. Can My IT Partner Explain Things Without Tech Jargon?

 

What to listen for: Clear, plain-language explanations that make sense to you, not just to their engineers.

Why it matters: You should feel confident making tech decisions—and that starts with understanding your options.

 


2. Do I Hear from My IT Partner Proactively—Not Just When Something Breaks?

 

What to listen for: Regular check-ins, proactive updates, and a sense that they're looking ahead, not just reacting.

Why it matters: Consistent, forward-looking communication builds trust and prevents small issues from becoming big problems.

 


3. Do My Employees Rely on the IT Partner—or Each Other?

 

What to listen for: A responsive help desk, quick resolutions, and fewer "workarounds" passed around the office.

Why it matters: Your team should feel empowered and supported—not stuck solving their own tech issues.

 


4. Are We Having Strategic Conversations About Our Tech?

 

What to listen for: IT reviews, improvement suggestions, and guidance that aligns tech tools with your business goals.

Why it matters: IT shouldn't just "keep the lights on" — it should help your business grow.

 


5. Does Our Tech Make Work Easier or Harder?

 

What to listen for: Reliable systems, smooth processes, and a team that helps fine-tune your environment for real productivity.

Why it matters: When technology works the way it should, your whole business runs better.
