Why now is the right time to outsource your IT
Published: 01 May 2025Read Time: 3 minutes

Many organisations try to manage IT internally, but as they grow the burden can quickly become expensive, stressful, and time-consuming.
That’s where managed IT services come in. More and more organisations are outsourcing their tech needs to trusted Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and for good reason. In fact, the UK managed services market generated £29.1 billion in 2022, and that figure is rising year on year. A clear sign that businesses are moving away from the break/fix model and towards something more proactive.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Let’s unpack what makes managed IT services are so important.

What are managed IT services?
Think of it this way: instead of building an entire IT department, you bring in a team of experts to manage, maintain, and support your technology: both remotely and around the clock.
This isn’t just about fixing things when they go wrong
It’s about preventing problems before they even start. From cyber security and cloud solutions to user support and compliance, a good MSP becomes your IT partner, making sure your tech just works, so you can focus on growing your business.
Why do Businesses turn to managed IT services?
While cost savings are a big factor (and we’ll get to that), it’s about much more than just money. Businesses choose managed IT services to:
- Improve resilience and reduce downtime
- Access specialist expertise without hiring in-house
- Stay protected against ever-evolving cyber threats
- Scale up without scaling stress
- Align IT strategy with their business goals
Eight reasons why managed IT services are worthwhile
Predictable costs and reduced spending
No more surprise IT bills. Managed services mean a fixed monthly fee, helping you budget better while saving up to 45% compared to traditional in-house IT. That’s money back in your pocket to invest elsewhere.
Access to specialists without the salary burden
MSPs bring deep experience in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and more. You’re getting access to a whole team of up-to-date professionals. All without the recruitment, training, or overheads.
Stronger cyber security
60% of small businesses don’t survive six months after a cyberattack. Managed IT services reduce that risk significantly, putting robust security measures in place and keeping your data (and reputation) safe.
Scalability without the pain
Whether you’re hiring 5 or 50 new people, your IT setup should grow with you. Managed services scale effortlessly as your business evolves. No IT growing pains involved.
Proactive monitoring, not just firefighting
Good MSPs spot problems before they impact you. They monitor your systems 24/7, apply updates, and keep things running smoothly whilst reducing downtime and productivity loss.
Business continuity and disaster recovery
From backups to rapid recovery plans, MSPs prepare your business for the unexpected. Whether it’s a cyberattack or a power cut, you’ll bounce back fast with minimal disruption.
Focus on what you’re best at
Free up your team to do what they do best. Let someone else handle the patching, backups, and system monitoring while you concentrate on serving customers and growing your business.
Strategic IT partnership
The best MSPs help you plan. They align your IT with your business goals, helping you build a stronger, more agile organisation.
