Common questions
What is the difference between an IT advisor and a managed service provider (MSP)?
An IT advisor provides strategic guidance on technology decisions — what to buy, when to upgrade, how to reduce costs, and how to manage risk. An MSP provides day-to-day IT operations like help desk, monitoring, and patching. They serve different functions: the advisor guides the strategy, the MSP executes the operations. The advisor should never be the same company selling you the MSP contract, because that creates a conflict of interest.
Do I need a managed IT provider AND an IT advisor?
Often, yes — they serve complementary functions. A managed IT provider handles daily operations (help desk, monitoring, patching). An IT advisor provides strategic oversight — evaluating whether your MSP is performing, whether your technology investments align with business goals, and whether you're paying fair market rates. The advisor ensures the MSP stays accountable and your technology strategy stays on track.
Our current MSP is underperforming — how do we evaluate alternatives?
Start with an independent assessment of your current environment — not from another MSP who wants to replace them. An independent IT advisor can objectively evaluate whether the problem is the provider, the scope of the engagement, the underlying infrastructure, or misaligned expectations. This prevents you from switching providers only to repeat the same problems with a new vendor.
