Switching MSP Case Study

Enhancing IT Efficiency and Cybersecurity

Transitioning from an Underperforming MSP to Secure Networks

Our client is a technology company* specializing in software development and IT services. Their previous MSP had initially promised comprehensive IT support but consistently failed to meet expectations. Over time, they realized that they needed a more reliable and proactive MSP to address their IT and cybersecurity challenges. By partnering with Secure Networks, they experienced significant benefits, particularly in the areas of IT roadmaps and 24/7 cybersecurity through our Security Operations Center (SOC).

Before reaching out to Secure Networks, our client experienced several issues with their MSP:

  1. Over-promised, Under-delivered: The MSP had consistently over-promised on the quality and scope of services they would provide, leading to missed deadlines and ongoing technical issues.
  2. Reactive Rather Than Proactive: The MSP was reactive in addressing IT problems, often failing to identify and resolve issues before they escalated into major disruptions.
  3. Lack of Cybersecurity Vigilance: The MSP lacked a robust cybersecurity strategy, which left them vulnerable to potential threats and attacks.
  4. Absence of IT Roadmaps: The MSP did not provide a clear IT roadmap, making it challenging for them to plan for the future and align technology with business objectives.
