Hidden costs in your IT setup aren’t always obvious, but they often add up over time. Outdated systems and recurring support issues that seem minor at first can gradually reduce productivity and increase overhead. A free MSP assessment is a practical way to identify these issues early and prevent more serious problems or unnecessary expenses down the road.
What Is an MSP Assessment, and What’s Included?
An MSP (Managed Service Provider) assessment is a full evaluation of your IT infrastructure, software, and processes. It’s the first step in identifying areas that are inefficient, vulnerable, or outdated. Here’s what we typically cover during an assessment:
Network Performance and Stability
We start by reviewing your current network setup. Are your routers and switches configured correctly? Are users frequently losing connection or experiencing lag? We check these details and provide practical feedback on how to optimize performance.
Hardware Inventory and Age
Old machines are more than just slow; they’re unreliable and costly. We take an inventory of your desktops, laptops, servers, and printers to determine their age, expected lifespan, and potential for failure.
Cybersecurity Gaps
Our team looks at your antivirus software, firewall settings, user permissions, and backup routines. If any essential protections are missing or your tools are outdated, we’ll identify the gaps and explain how to address them.
Software Licensing and Updates
Many businesses end up overpaying for unused licenses or running software that’s no longer supported. We’ll evaluate your software stack and identify opportunities to consolidate or cut costs.
Help Desk Trends and Ticket Review
We review help desk requests to spot patterns. If your team is constantly calling about slow systems, login errors, or email issues, that tells us something’s not working as it should. These insights are key to long-term efficiency.
Why a Free MSP Assessment Is Worth Your Time
It’s not just about identifying problems, it’s about putting your business in a stronger position. When we complete a free MSP assessment, we focus on three things that matter most to small businesses:
Saving Time and Labor Costs
Inefficient systems drain time from your team. If employees are rebooting their computers, waiting for software to load, or dealing with outages, you’re paying for lost productivity.
Reducing Risk
An outdated firewall or an inconsistent backup system is a serious risk. Ransomware attacks and data loss are more common than ever, and the cost of downtime or lost records can be massive. We help you strengthen your security posture before there’s an issue.
Planning for Growth
If you’re hiring, moving offices, or expanding services, you’ll need scalable systems. Our assessment includes recommendations for upgrades that support your growth without unnecessary complexity.
When Should You Request an IT Assessment?
You don’t need to wait for a crisis. The best time to assess your systems is before something breaks. Here are common signs that it’s time to talk:
- You’ve experienced slow or unreliable performance
- You’ve added new staff, but your systems haven’t been updated
- Your cybersecurity strategy hasn’t been reviewed in over a year
- You’re unsure if your backups are working or recoverable
- You’re using a mix of personal and work devices without a clear policy
If any of these sound familiar, we recommend scheduling your free review soon. It’s fast, simple, and gives you a clear direction moving forward.
What to Expect from Our Free MSP Assessment Process
We try to make the entire process clear and low-pressure. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Call
We’ll ask a few questions to understand your business, staff size, current IT setup, and any ongoing issues. - On-Site or Remote Evaluation
Our technicians review your systems either remotely or in person, depending on your preference. We aim to be as unobtrusive as possible. - Custom Report
We provide a detailed summary of what we found, what’s working, what’s not, and what we recommend changing. You’re not obligated to move forward, but if you decide to work with us, we’ll have a solid foundation already in place.
