A Message from Michelle Carlow at URCC Member CTS Services
What Is an MSP and Do I Need One?
One our long-term clients for whom we provide a retainer based "break-fix" support plan called and reluctantly asked "what is an MSP anyway"?
He knew that we (CTS Services are an MSP or Managed Service Provider) but unsure... so... we wrote an article about it, figuring a few others might be wondering, too.
Our latest blog post might help sort it all out.
In a nutshell...
Small- and medium-sized businesses often face major IT support challenges due to lack of resources. These businesses are also more vulnerable to IT security risks. MSPs provide comprehensive IT support, including monitoring and maintenance tasks that keep your systems running smoothly.
They can also provide remote support when you need it, which can be a lifesaver for businesses with limited in-house IT resources. And finally, MSPs can help you manage and secure your data, which is increasingly important in today's business environment. In short, MSPs can provide you with the comprehensive IT support that you need to keep your business running smoothly.
Read the full blog post here.
CTS will keep your business up and running. A managed services support plan may be right for you. Let's talk about it.
