The second most common reason survey respondents said they use an MSP is for increased security.

"Based on the results, we recommend that MSPs continue to lead with solutions focused on security, data storage, and data analytics. Our most successful MSP partners are enabling their businesses to be more secure and to always access and analyze their data. The lifeblood of any business is its data, so it makes sense that securing it, backing it up, and analyzing it is most important to businesses."

Thirty-nine percent said they have only worked with their current or previous MSP for one to three years, while thirty-one percent of the survey group said they have worked with their MSP for more than three years.

"A key takeaway from the Infrascale survey is that MSPs provide significant value for SMBs, particularly around cost savings and faster implementation of solutions that arm businesses with a competitive advantage," said Reeder.

"Business executives understand the importance of always having access to their data and keeping their systems up-and-running through cloud backup, disaster recovery, and cloud solutions to accelerate growth. As the research illustrates, businesses view their MSP as a highly capable provider of these critical functions. It's not surprising that so many respondents see their MSP as an important ally in their competitive battle for growth."
