Why Growing 50-person Companies Should Partner with an MSP: The Promethean IT Advantage
In today’s business landscape, technology is the backbone of operations. Managing IT is a critical challenge for larger small businesses with 50-100 employees as it becomes unwieldy to operate without dedicated functions. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like Promethean IT offer a robust solution that blends IT expertise with advanced security-mindedness, making it a strategic choice for growing businesses.
The Hidden Costs of In-House IT for Companies with 50-100 Employees
Many companies debate whether to build an in-house team or partner with an MSP when considering IT management. The real costs of maintaining an in-house IT team can be significantly higher than expected, especially for companies with 50-100 employees.1. High Personnel Costs: Building an in-house IT team involves substantial salary expenses:
IT Manager Salary: $100,000-$120,000/year
IT Support Specialist Salary: $60,000-$70,000/year
Part-time Network Administrator Salary: $45,000-$55,000/year
Fractional Security Consultant Cost: $50,000-$75,000/year
These salary costs quickly add up to $255,000-$320,000 annually. Including benefits, training, and turnover costs, your total expenses could skyrocket.2. Expensive Licensing and Tooling Costs: In-house IT requires a wide range of software tools and licenses. Combined with the personnel expenses, these costs can push your annual IT budget to well over $500,000 for in-house IT.

The Risks of Delaying MSP Adoption for Growing Companies
Delaying the decision to partner with an MSP can lead to several risks for companies:
Increased Security Incidents: As your company grows, so does your attack surface, making you more vulnerable to cyber threats.
Scalability Issues: In-house IT teams may struggle to keep pace with your business growth, leading to inefficiencies.
High Employee Turnover: IT professionals in small teams may feel overwhelmed, leading to burnout and high turnover rates. Promethean has low staff attrition rates.
Compliance Challenges: Expanding into new markets can complicate compliance, risking costly penalties.
Innovation Lag: Limited IT resources can prevent your team from focusing on strategic technology initiatives that drive business growth.
