MSPs (Managed IT service providers) offer several advantages to businesses.  Instead of paying an IT employee’s salary and benefits, you pay a fixed monthly fee which is typically less expensive.  Additionally, you get a team of experts with specialized skillsets that are very hard to find in one individual.  By outsourcing your IT services, you also eliminate single points of failure, coverage gaps when in-house IT personnel go on vacation, get sick or decide to leave the organization.  Simply put, managed IT services deliver higher quality at a lower expense.
