Could an MSP Help Your Bank?
An MSP is a third-party company that assumes the ongoing, day-to-day responsibilities, maintenance and monitoring of a range of processes that are outside of a typical bank’s skillset – usually pertaining to IT. While this might seem like a bit of a luxury, an MSP can actually be a lifesaver – freeing up your staff to become more productive and more profitable. Lean on our expertise to help you choose the right partner and negotiate the best contract.
If your Bank is under $2 billion in assets and handles some (or all) of the following processes in-house, you might be a good candidate for an MSP:
• Computer updates to system
• Firewalls for the bank
• Server support
• Telephone systems
• Hardware management
• Back-up systems
• Security awareness training
• Help desk support
How can DD&F Help?
1) We take a thorough assessment of which IT processes are being handled internally and identify which ones would be better shifted to a third party.
2) We create an RFP to elicit solid proposals from
reputable MSPs.
3) We compare proposals based on features and pricing and help you determine the right questions to ask. We help you negotiate pricing to get the most value for your money.
