MSPwiz Founder and CEO Kevin Anderson reflects on the year of growth since attending IT Nation Connect Global and why he is going back for more this November.
I remember when I was the “IT guy” at a small, fast-growing company. I worked hand in hand with the CIO, implementing strategic initiatives, executing day-to-day planned activities, and, you guessed it, attending to as many trouble tickets as time permitted.
If you would have asked me then when is the right time to bring on an MSP for IT support, I would have said, “When there are more trouble tickets than your current IT guy, or team, can handle.”
Those trouble tickets often begin to pile up when a company is growing. Growth is great. It’s exciting. It’s a time when business owners and leadership can start to say, “Wow, this is really working.”
But growth can also be an absolute killer on internal IT resources, often stretching them dangerously thin (both strategically and tactically). And, sure, you can try to keep pace with growth by ramping up IT hiring, but that can be costly (think salary + benefits, ramp up time, and, possibly doing it all again if the new hire doesn’t work out) and take longer than anticipated.
What we did back then, and what more and more small and medium sized businesses and enterprises (SMBs and SMEs) are doing today, is bring on an MSP. That decision makes a lot of sense, because it solves immediate problems while anticipating future ones.
Making an MSP a part of your company’s “growth strategy” delivers on several fronts:
At MSPwiz, we’re hearing from businesses that managed IT services are becoming an important part of their growth strategies. Understanding your company’s current IT capabilities and future requirements is a great place to start, and our MSP Assessment can help you take that first step. In some instances, MSPs are simply a more efficient route to bring more capable IT support hands on deck quickly. In others, customers are saying MSPs are needed to help them handle new challenges and scrutiny – for example, heightened compliance or cybersecurity needs – that come with the territory of growing, landing new and bigger customers, and enabling, as well as safeguarding, future success.
If your company is growing and experiencing any of these IT-support growing pains, MSPwiz is here to help. Our free, AI-powered matchmaking platform helps businesses identify managed service providers with the expertise, resources, and capabilities to support their evolving needs.
Through our streamlined MSP selection process, you can connect with providers that align with your business goals without spending months searching and comparing options on your own.

Studies show a majority of small and medium sized businesses and enterprises are unhappy with their current IT support/managed service provider (MSP). So why hold onto what’s not working? Why hesitate to make a change?
The dreaded RFP. Just the thought of developing one, figuring out who to send it to, managing the endless back and forth, and normalizing the feedback is almost enough to make most companies say, “Let’s skip it and make do with what we have.”
