There are several key differences between utilizing an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP), such as RDIT, and an in-house IT department. It's important to note that the decision between an MSP and an in-house IT department depends on your organization’s specific needs, resources, and goals. Some businesses opt for a hybrid co-managing approach, combining the strengths of an in-house team with the specialized services of an MSP. The main distinctions, however, include:

Expertise and Skill Set: RDIT’s team of 24/7/365 professionals have specialized knowledge in different areas such as networking, Cybersecurity, cloud computing, and software development while an in-house IT department may be more limited on resources, availability, and specialties.
Cost Structure: RDIT partnership typically involves a predictable and usually more cost-effective pricing model whereas having an in-house IT department involves significant overhead costs including salaries, benefits, training, plus all of the hardware, software, and ongoing maintenance expenses.
Scalability and Flexibility: RDIT’s services are designed to scale based on your business needs; whether your business experiences growth or downsizing we can quickly adjust our services to accommodate. Internal IT teams typically take more time to hire, train, and retain, and don’t necessarily have the flexibility of ‘scaling-down’ when needed.
Access to Advanced Technologies: RDIT stays up-to-date with the latest technology trends and advancements, communicating and applying them to your benefit. In contrast, internal IT departments may be limited in their abilities to stay relevant with emerging technologies, especially if there are fewer resources or budget constraints.
Round-the-Clock Support: We mean it when we say 24/7/365 support and monitoring. RDIT quickly responds to and resolves your IT issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring the availability of critical systems. In-house IT departments may have limited availability, especially outside of regular working hours, which can lead to longer response times, potential delays in issue resolution, and higher risk for exploitation.
Risk Mitigation and Security: RDIT’s specialized expertise in Cybersecurity and risk mitigation allows us to implement robust security measures, perform vulnerability assessments, and proactively monitor and respond to security threats real-time. While in-house IT departments can handle some security measures, RDIT has dedicated resources and advanced tools to address complex security challenges and emergencies.
