For any business to succeed, it needs to exhibit some degree of empathy toward its audience. Otherwise, the services and products they offer will be less likely to meet the priorities and needs that its targets are experiencing.
As a managed service provider, this is perhaps most true of us, as our services revolve around predicting the needs of our clientele and resolving them… ideally, before the client even realizes they have a need to fulfill.
Let’s examine why this is.
While we can and happily will team up with any IT team or employee a business in Oregon has brought on internally, the managed service model is somewhat based on the idea that our business could potentially serve as a fully outsourced department for our clients, should that be the situation. In either case, our success hinges on our ability to align our services with each client’s needs and goals.
This makes it important that we understand every business we work with—and, to some degree, their customers’ expectations as well.
If an organization sees a lot of business based on Service A, it’s especially important that the tools they need to provide Service A can be relied on. If Service B can potentially be improved through the use of different technology, the pros and cons of making the switch have to be hashed out, and any changes have to be made expeditiously.
This is even more true when a business is beholden to certain compliance rules and requirements. If card-based payments are going to be accepted, an organization needs to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Those doing business in the EU must meet the General Data Protection Regulation’s baselines. As an outsourced part of a business’ team, we are responsible for addressing these needs through our services.
