MSP is Preventive Care for Your Computer Systems

The old saying is "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". That's true in medicine, but it's also true when it comes to the 'central nervous system' of your business operations.
Everything from appointments, to records, to billing, to customer data, and more run through this system. Why then do so many business owners let it scrape by on nothing but emergency care?
Just recently, we went to service a client who uses the 'break-fix' method of only calling an IT service when something goes wrong. There had been mounting problems on their servers for months and it was a ticking time bomb but no one saw it coming. MSP (Managed Service Plan) would have saved them so much in time and money.
So many problems on servers, workstations, etc can be avoided through monitoring and regular maintenance by a qualified I.T. Managed Services team. Not only is more lost revenue in down time avoided, but you have more reliable means of preserving data instead of losing it, you get better security, ongoing tech consultation and guidance, and end up paying way less for computers and their service in the long run. We've run the numbers time and again, and it is nearly always more costly to the client to go break-fix than MSP - even though it doesn't seem so on paper. It's like asking, "Isn't it cheaper not to buy oil for my car?" Well... maybe at first, but...
