In all these situations, hiring an external expert through a Managed Service Provider is the perfect solution. Opt for a Professional Services formula means that you don't have to get involved in difficult and long hiring processes, expensive recruitment and then keeping the IT employees on board and providing continuous training.

Ensure the continuity of your company

By using Professional Services, you can engage someone much faster and you have specific expertise available in your team all the time. You always have fast access to the right expertise at the right time, ensuring the continuity of your business. The supervision and continuous training of the IT employees are also provided.

More time for strategic IT

Thanks to Professional Services, you can free up more time, scope and budget internally to focus on customer-oriented innovations. An important advantage, when you know that IT organisations spend on average 80% of their time on operational tasks and only 20% on a strategic approach to IT. And did you know that the departure of an employee from your organisation can cost you one and a half to two times their annual salary? This is another thing you don't have to worry about when you engage external IT experts. The same applies to training: on average it costs around 4500 euros per employee per year – a cost that disappears with Professional Services, along with any worries you may have about employee turnover.

Support your business

Engaging external IT expertise is clearly a good idea: you as an organisation will have IT experts much faster in-house to help support your business. The employees of your Managed Service Provider are well trained and motivated. They will be working in an environment which has the necessary variety and a choice of different exciting projects. And if someone is ill or goes on holiday, you can also have your external IT employee replaced by an equally motivated colleague.
