With the steady, irreversible rise of cloud computing over the last decade, the topic of “digital transformation” also became a hot concept. It may sound dramatic, but in simple terms, the phrase simply refers to the adoption of technologies that enable organizations to conduct business anywhere at any time from any place.

Recent research shows that 85% of organizations surveyed are actively engaged in or plan to launch digital transformation projects this year. This trend runs through firms large and small, considering the widely accepted data point that small- to medium-size businesses (SMBs) represent as much as 99% of U.S. companies.

The trouble is that, while eight in 10 businesses are pursuing digital transformation, studies by McKinsey reveal those projects fail about 70% of the time. How can SMBs avoid this failure rate?

One solution is engaging an IT managed services provider. Here are five ways MSPs facilitate tech transformations:

Minimizing downtime – Aspiring to operate anywhere at any time? Then, systems must be available virtually all the time.
Bolstering cybersecurity and compliance – When one data breach or regulatory sanction could have damaging business repercussions, managing IT in isolation is risky.
Optimizing spending – As a fixed monthly maintenance expense, MSPs offer predictability for managing costs.
Fostering focus – Partnering with an MSP also allows firms to focus on core competencies rather than adding specialized staff.
Empowering competitiveness – Confront your competitive challenges while your MSP tackles the technical ones.
