One of which is whether you’ll hire a managed IT service provider to take care of all your IT needs. There are many benefits to doing this, but with the many firms offering such service, it’s hard to decide which one best suits your business. Here are some key factors to consider. ## Items ### 1. [How Much You’ll Pay Each Month](https://listium.com/@NimbleNerds/52631/five-key-factors-when-deciding-on-a-company-for-managed-it-services/0/how-much-youll-pay-each-month) Item ID: `0` - Notes: The upside of a managed IT service is that you get to take advantage of topnotch IT services while still staying on top of your monthly payments. To fully maximize this benefit, it’s important that you know clearly what services are included in the monthly fee. ### 2. [Remote IT Solutions for Business](https://listium.com/@NimbleNerds/52631/five-key-factors-when-deciding-on-a-company-for-managed-it-services/1/remote-it-solutions-for-business) Item ID: `1` - Notes: It would also be great to find a company that not only has a clearly stated monthly payment but also offers remote IT solutions as part of that monthly payment. This way, the office or workspace productivity won’t necessarily be inhibited in the event that some issues occur. ### 3. [Year-Round Service](https://listium.com/@NimbleNerds/52631/five-key-factors-when-deciding-on-a-company-for-managed-it-services/2/year-round-service) Item ID: `2` - Notes: If your business operates even on weekends, then it is a must that you have access to the best IT maintenance and solutions every day of the year. Trusted companies guarantee this, as they have teams of experts always ready to help you out. ### 4. [Credentials, Skills, Expertise](https://listium.com/@NimbleNerds/52631/five-key-factors-when-deciding-on-a-company-for-managed-it-services/3/credentials-skills-expertise) Item ID: `3` - Notes: You can ask the potential service provider for some relevant information you could use to assess the credibility of the company and to know whether it’s the right one for your business. The tech staff should be skilled with current technologies and the solutions necessary to address issues and concerns your business may have in the future. ### 5. [Fast Response](https://listium.com/@NimbleNerds/52631/five-key-factors-when-deciding-on-a-company-for-managed-it-services/5/fast-response) Item ID: `5` - Notes: > Downtime is never a good thing, especially in this highly competitive business landscape. Check with the company to confirm whether you can get access to same day IT solutions and whether this is part of your monthly fee or not. > > You should also consider the size of your business, your goals, and the extent of your managed IT needs.
