What goes into calculating in-house vs. outsourced IT?
The numbers are only half the picture and getting reasonable MSP quotes matters. If you are looking for a Managed IT Service Provider and need a quote to compare, book a meeting with our team here.
Before you compare a hire with a provider, weigh these four things:
Technology Monitoring Coverage
A week has 168 hours and one full-time person covers about 24% of them. Is one employee going to sufficiently cover your business in the way you need? If not, how many FTEs do you need to properly manage your IT?
IT Bench Depth
One or two hires rarely cover help desk, security, networking, cloud, and compliance at once. Outsourcing some of your technology to an MSP or co-managed IT provider can help you get additional team depth but at a lower cost.
Hiring, On-Boarding, and Off-Boarding
Hiring can take months and lots of spent money trying to find the right person. Then comes on-boarding which can also cost you time and money as you ramp up an internal IT hire. Outsourced IT can help you fill those gaps immeditaely or help while you tranisition from one to the other – all for a clear cut monthly cost.
Technology Expertise and Gap Coverage
When it comes to IT, ensure your internal IT team is covering all of your environment is essential. You need to confirm that your team has bandwidth to oversee security monitoring, backup, help desk, and gap closure. If they are stretched too thin, you’re left wondering if you should hire more team members or outsource some of the responsibility.
