Five Ways to Build a Strong and Productive Relationship With a Managed IT Service Provider

#1: Don’t wait for an emergency.

All business owners juggle multiple responsibilities, and IT can sometimes fade into the background until there is a crisis. Engaging a Managed IT service provider while the system is running smoothly can give the provider time to identify risks and issues before they lead to breakdowns, saving money on repair and data recovery costs.

#2:  Share business needs and goals.

Every business has different needs and priorities. A good managed IT service provider will want to know what makes each customer unique. Maybe confidential data needs to be secure, a network needs to handle unusual traffic volumes at certain times of the year, or a problem has to be solved in a particular time frame. Let the IT service provider know. That way, they can craft a custom solution.

#3:  Communicate clearly and continually.

While part of the advantage of hiring a managed IT provider is the convenience of having hands-off IT management, it's important to keep the lines of communication open. 

Openly discuss any concerns with the provider and give them advance warning of upcoming needs or changes. It helps to establish preferred communication methods and reporting expectations when initiating the service. 

#4: Establish roles and responsibilities early.

If the service provider will share responsibilities with an in-house IT team, establish roles and responsibilities early in the relationship. Be clear on who will handle what, when, and how--preferably in a written contract.

Remember to share this plan with all in-house staff. When a problem arises, no one wants to be left playing phone tag, trying to find out who to call to resolve it.

#5: Plan for the future.

Establishing a strong relationship with any company takes time. Avoid the need to start all over with a new managed IT service provider by working with a team with the tools to accommodate any company size. The provider's adaptability is vital to allowing a long-term working relationship to flourish.
