Scaling Technology With Business Growth
By: Loretta Davis
As your business grows and you rapidly hire new employees to meet those demands, one of the most challenging aspects of this expansion is scaling your business’ technology. In this week’s White Board Wednesday episode, Mike and Brian discuss how a Managed Service Provider like NETRIO can help to meet that demand as well as provide predictable costs for each new hire.
Mike Cromwell
You mentioned earlier cost is a factor and it’s per asset, right? But I think about it in a different way because if I’m growing a business or if I’m in a business that’s seasonal, or I’m in a business where there could be some fluctuation, right? What I love about the model is the predictability of the cost.
Brian DeVault
So, I mean, I had a conversation with a customer this morning on that very same topic, and they were going through a huge growth mode. So they were four hundred people today. They’re going to be a thousand in October, right? That’s huge. I mean, big, big numbers. You’re talking about a hundred people a month you’re essentially onboarding. So, I mean, after you get your organization over that, just the aspect of onboarding a hundred people, how do you answer those questions about, OK, now I need to scale my technology team to support these extra hundred people I’m adding every every month.
Mike Cromwell
That would be a daunting task if you’re looking at scaling that all internally.
Brian DeVault
Trying to do it internally, it would be impossible – close to it. But with an MSP, we go in and we had clients with 400, 500, 600 users a month and so we understand how to scale that model. So when you add one hundred users to your organization, it’s not a shock to us because we weren’t managing your system with two people over in the corner.
Brian DeVault
We’ve got this deep bench of people. We’ve got this deep set of skills that allow us to very quickly ramp up support for an organization.
Mike Cromwell
Prime, case in point, I think it was back, was it November time frame that I think over a forty five day window, it was way more than 400 or 500. Wasn’t it like…
Brian DeVault
Yeah. So in October, from October to the end of December, essentially, we onboarded 800 locations for a retail customer.
Mike Cromwell
That was just one.
Brian DeVault
That was one customer.
Mike Cromwell
One Customer. So clearly you get the benefit of scale and the fact that an MSP is going to do it across thousands and thousands of endpoints locations. You’re spreading those costs around and therefore get predictability in the cost model for your business.
Brian DeVault
Exactly. So if I know that adding a new user and a laptop and everything else, and all the assets that this user requires, costs me $60 a month additionally on my MSP contract, when I’m that organization, that’s 400 and I’m growing by 100 a month I know what my cost increase is every month. It’s predictable based on the number of people that I hire.
NETRIO Understands How To Scale Business Technology
When NETRIO works with a business that is growing and hiring new employees at a rapid rate, we begin by analyzing what devices, services, software, and other tools your new hires will need and creates a system to rapidly deploy these resources as needed. When businesses try to rapidly scale internally, many times they will struggle simply because they are used to managing the needs of the existing setup and aren’t prepared to both manage the existing system and simultaneously set up technology for dozens or hundreds of new employees.
NETRIO is a specialist at scaling technology for businesses and can easily handle up to 600 new employees per month due to our expertise and large pool of resources to focus solely on enabling your team to grow. We work hand in hand with your organization as new hires are onboarded and ensure each employee is set up with the tools they need to hit the ground running.
Cost Predictability
Being able to reliably onboard new employees is obviously critical to the growth of an organization, but even more importantly you need to be able to predict the costs associated with onboarding each new employee to ensure costs are kept under control. That is where the MSP relationship is especially valuable. Let’s say, for example, that each new employee needs a laptop, email address and VoIP phone system set up and your MSP charges $100 per month per additional employee, it makes budgeting much easier to calculate when you know that the cost associated with each hire is fixed when handled by your MSP.
NETRIO will work with your organization to find out the exact technology needs of each new hire and will work with you to setup consistent pricing to simplify the entire process. NETRIO is your partner during onboarding and can dramatically reduce the strain and cost on your organization when hiring new employees. This reliability and consistency makes using an MSP for your business’ technology growth a no-brainer.
