Considering the complexity and demands of managing and maintaining the efficiency of your RMM system in-house, supplementing this critical operation to a specialized team might be the strategic edge your IT/MSP business needs.

Let's explore the compelling reasons for this strategy.

When calculating the cost of an in-house RMM administrator, it's crucial to go beyond the initial salary. Factor in additional expenses such as benefits, payroll taxes, and performance incentives, and you'll find these costs quickly escalate. Supplementing your RMM management transforms these overheads into deductible business expenses, offering significant tax advantages that improve your net profitability.

The Power of Collective Expertise:

Instead of relying on a single internal resource, imagine the breadth of skills and insights that a seasoned team offers.

With years of collective experience spanning various MSP landscapes, supplementing the majority of the work to an outsourced team brings unparalleled expertise and industry best practices. This aggregation of skills can significantly elevate your system's performance and operational efficiency.

Ongoing Skill Enhancement:

Investing in continuous employee training and development can be both time-intensive and financially draining. However, it is extremely important to stay "on the cutting edge" especially in the technology space.

Supplementing to an outsourced team eliminates the burden of upskilling immediately when things change. An outsource team can show up equipped with up-to-date knowledge of emerging technologies and best practices, assuring that your RMM system remains at the forefront of innovation.

Sometimes it makes sense to let the outsourced company make the initial investment in training on new skills, allowing only the helpful information to trickle down to your team. 

Zero Learning Curve:

The initial onboarding time required for a new internal employee can be costly.

Conventional wisdom suggests that bringing on a new internal employee for your IT/MSP business would be a straightforward process. However, the reality is far from it. The time spent on onboarding is time diverted from productivity, which translates into real dollars.

Length of Onboarding: According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the average length of the onboarding process is 42 days.

Cost per Hire:
SHRM also states that the average cost-per-hire is about $4,129.

Productivity Lag:
A study by Glassdoor found that organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%.


However, an outsourced team of professionals will integrate seamlessly, immediately implementing their expertise without downtime or productivity loss.

Scalability on Demand:

As your business expands, your RMM system will need to evolve in tandem. The challenge of scaling your RMM functions becomes straightforward when supplementing the "grunt work" to an outsourced to a team with a diverse skill set and scalable resources.
