The power and potential of partnerships


Discover how businesses can tap into the power of partnerships to help them modernise and transform. 


When it comes to technology, today’s small to medium businesses (SMBs) can deliver on a scale that was once far beyond their reach. Through the potential of modern cloud-based systems utilising automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence, businesses of all sizes can revolutionise themselves as they head into the future.   

At the same time, technology is also becoming more interconnected and complex. This can create challenges for smaller businesses when understanding how to implement these new technologies. For SMBs who lack extensive in-house IT expertise, embarking on this journey can seem daunting, particularly as new technology can lead to increased complexity. As analyst firm Gartner explains, applying and administering new technologies can often feel like a double-edged sword that "enables value, but challenges execution"1. This becomes an even greater challenge when you consider the ongoing IT skills shortage2 currently being experienced throughout the industry.  

When deciding on the path forward, it’s vital for organisations to develop digital strategies and design connectivity solutions that underpin their individual needs. This is where the right partner can make all the difference. 


Finding the right partner


Trusted partners can help businesses take a more holistic view of the many ways technology can assist them, rather than simply delivering a string of piecemeal solutions. Not only can the right partners help create a digital roadmap, develop digital strategies, and put the right connectivity in place – they can help choose the best solutions to ensure a smooth transition.

While embracing new technology once meant employing specialists, such as networking and security experts, the Managed Service Provider (MSP) model allows businesses to focus on what they do best by putting their technology needs in the hands of those who manage this teach instead.  

This includes taking responsibility for upgrades, infrastructure, platform and software updates and security patches to maximise availability and help ensure the service runs smoothly.
