Pro Tip: Differentiate Price from Value
One of the main reasons non-profits outsource IT is to save money on operational costs. But be careful! We advise cost-conscious non-profits not to make your decision on price alone. Just because an MSP is the least expensive, does not necessarily mean they provide value.
Before making a decision about partnering with an MSP, take the time to determine how they will deliver value to your specific organization and what their relationship with other clients looks like. This will tell you a lot more about how the MSP delivers value than price alone.
How do you deliver value to non-profits?
Straight Edge has adopted a non-profit pricing mindset that is competitive and value based.
By value-based, we mean a few things:
- A value-based approach ensures your non-profit is prepared for growth as well as the evolving technology and cybersecurity landscape.
- We are NOT break and fix ticket masters — we are strategists. A proactive IT model is much more economical and value-based than a break/fix model.
- The relationships we foster with our non-profit clients are the key ingredient to delivering value and it is one of the things our clients appreciate most about working with us.
- We know how how to make use of non-profit cost benefits from vendors to help save money and secure exclusive discounts on licenses and applications.
- We ensure that technology contributes to your standards of efficiency and drives your mission forward.
- With the right technology and support in place, we can reduce the risk of unplanned expenses due to technical glitches and downtime.
