The Holy Grail

Page 11: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

Are you paddling in Proactive?

Proactive paddlers might be suffering from:

✓ Reactive support fatigue 50-70% of your billing time still based on reactive support

✓ 24/7 phone addiction a server might go down, an alert might get missed, a customer might email at midnight, a router might die…best not to sleep, just in case

✓ A vague feeling that although you’re really busy, are you really busy making money?

Page 12: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

Proactive paddlers might be thinking …

‣ How do I move from a time-based billing model to supporting my clients’ business objectives?

‣ How can I free up my resources to support this and build my business?

‣ I want clients who understand my value but don’t want to increase headcount and squeeze margins

‣ Clients continuously want more, including out of hours support. My team can’t work 24/7!

Page 13: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

Or are you circling in Service?

… you’ve stopped worrying about billing time and your clients understand your value much more . . .

‣ But those pesky clients just want more value, better availability, more capacity, better compliance and higher performance

‣ They want stuff to ‘just work’, all the time, not just in office hours

‣ They want access from the beach at 3am, in the air, underground… and they NEED ACCESS NOW on all of their 200 devices…at the same time!

Give

us

more NOW!

Page 14: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

Service circlers might be thinking …

‣ How can I scale up my team cost effectively to cope with these demands?

‣ How can I offer a true 24/7 servicewith ‘always on’ monitoring, remediation, maintenanceand support?

‣ How will I keep pace with client expectation coupled with the constantsqueeze on my margins?

‣ How can I prevent engineer overload and staff attrition as pressures mount?

Page 15: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

or maybe you’ve made it?

… you’ve reached the holy grail, you’re a true strategic business partner to your clients . . . they love you, they just can’t get enough

You fully understand and act on your clients’ business objectives

You’re managing IT as a business level service and acting as a Virtual CIO for clients that understand your value

You’re spending your time productively planning and forecasting and reporting to stakeholders at every level

Page 16: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

but … maybe you’re thinking …

‣ How do I remain competitive, keep my costs under control, and maintain profit margins as I continue to grow?

‣ Is my NOC really as automated as it could be? How much time and money will I need to invest to get it there?

‣ Am I using highly skilled resources cost-effectively and how can I continue to retain valuable staff?

‣ Who are these big boys on the horizon? Copier companies and telcos…muscling into the MSP arena with vast amountsof resource and cash? How do I compete with that?

Page 17: MSPs outsource to Inbay - N-able Elite Partner Event Amsterdam 2014

So where does fit in?
