Strategic Consultancy Can Help You Transform Your Firm.

How do you provide service to your clients? If you receive a lot of one-time requests and work in a break/fix environment, you should reconsider your business approach. Subscription-based or continuing managed services are not only more profitable for your business, but they also save you time and money.

Positioning yourself as a strategic consultant is one method to transition from break/fix to managed service provider (MSP). Existing MSPs can employ this strategy to provide long-term value to their clients while also accelerating their business change.

Strategic consulting encompasses a wide range of actions that can assist your customers in increasing productivity, profitability, and overall brand loyalty.

Providing training courses around your value-added services for Microsoft 365, as well as conducting quarterly performance audits to ensure you’re a critical part of their future, are just a few examples of duties that could drive you into a more strategic role.

Begin With Digital Transformation

It’s crucial to remember that when selecting how to alter a customer’s business, you must also consider digital transformation. According to a Tech Pro Research poll from 2018, 70% of businesses have a digital transformation strategy in place or are working on one.

Indeed, it is possible to claim that digital transformation can initiate or accelerate entire corporate transformation.

Increasing collaboration opportunities can boost overall productivity, and bolstering cybersecurity offers an atmosphere where users don’t have to worry about being subject to attacks or compromising critical data, regardless of where they work. Focusing on the aforementioned areas will help your clients achieve the core goal of their business transformation: increasing competitiveness in an ever-changing market.
