Growing your business with a managed service provider

Dealing with cyber risks and extracting organisational value from digital transformation are two of the leading challenges Australian business leaders will face in the next five years, according to KPMG. Our economic climate is constrained, which means business leaders need to innovate – but they’ve never been more time-poor.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are an efficient solution to this problem, as they play a crucial role in ensuring not just operational stability for businesses, but also fostering growth and innovation.

While outsourcing innovation might seem counterintuitive, the fact is external teams don’t always operate alone. A 2024 Canalys survey indicated that 50 per cent of MSPs operate in a hybrid delivery model, working alongside internal teams to achieve results.

In this blog post, we explore the reasons why organisations should consider partnering with Interactive to navigate the challenges of growth, enhance cyber security, and embrace new opportunities.

Many organisations find themselves constrained by the limitations of incumbent IT providers or internal teams. The demands of day-to-day IT operations are often overwhelming, leaving little room for strategic initiatives to drive growth.

The crucial role of cyber security in business growth

Cyber security is a pressing concern for all organisations.

According to Gartner’s 2024 predictions, AI trust, risk, and security management (AI TRiSM) and continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) will continue to be front and centre for IT leaders in the coming years.

As businesses grow, so does the importance of cyber security. Interactive recognises the need for cyber risk management as a wrap-around strategy during periods of growth.
