Is Your IT Operating in a Black Box?
Most SME business owners have no visibility into their actual technical setups. You are forced to trust your provider. We find that:
1. Your MSP is reactive, not strategic
They fix printers and reset passwords, but nobody is looking at your technology budget, vendor contracts, or 12-month strategic plan.
2. Licensing costs creep up unchecked
Staff leave but software seats keep renewing. You have duplicate software tools adopted by different teams, and no central inventory.
3. Security feels like an afterthought
You have antivirus but don't know if backups actually restore, if MFA is strictly enforced, or where your critical customer data lives.
