Embarking on a partnership with an IT MSP has many benefits. But, finding the right IT MSP is crucial. That starts with a streamlined onboarding process that allows the MSP to work as an extension of your team.
At IT Insights, we strive to make your transition to our services effortless and rewarding. Let’s dive into the aspects of our onboarding process that set us apart from other providers.
THE IT ONBOARDING PROCESS
Top-To-Bottom Analysis IT Onboarding Policy
IT Insights’ client onboarding program leaves no stone unturned when understanding your organization’s IT environment. Our IT support onboarding process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your entire infrastructure. We will review and document every detail of system operations, applications, processes, and data.
Our team must also take the time to understand your business objectives, industry-specific requirements, and user needs. This thoroughness during onboarding ensures that we comprehensively understand your IT landscape and needs. This enables our IT support specialists to provide tailored solutions and proactive support.
IT Insights’ team will gain a clear understanding of your business and current state. We will then create a tailored solution to tackle any IT issues and make recommendations to suit your requirements. This can include comprehensive managed IT services, network and system services, cybersecurity enhancements, or disaster recovery solutions.
With this approach, IT Insights’ solutions will meet your current needs while being scaleable as your business grows.
IT SUPPORT ONBOARDING MADE EASY
Our goal is to make onboarding IT Insights as your MSP a breeze. We firmly believe that transitioning should not burden you or add new responsibilities. Our skilled IT professionals handle as much of the transfer process as possible. This approach minimizes your involvement and allows you to focus on your core business operations. From data migration to system configurations, we take care of everything, making the transition seamless and stress-free. Here’s how we do that.
IT Onboarding Assessments: A Detail-Oriented Approach
During onboarding, nothing in your IT environment is overlooked. We go above and beyond to meticulously scrub every aspect of your systems, network, and infrastructure. By conducting thorough audits and assessments, we will learn everything there is to know about your technology landscape. We guarantee that we will understand every detail better than your previous IT company. This will enable us to create the most comprehensive and effective solutions for your requirements.
Proactive Communication and Collaboration
Communication and collaboration are the cornerstones of a successful onboarding experience.
IT Insights provides regular updates, scheduled progress reports, and a project timeline to inform you at every step in the process. We actively engage with your team to understand all stakeholders’ needs and promptly implement solutions to address all concerns swiftly and knowledgeably. By fostering a collaborative relationship, we work together as partners to achieve your goals and drive ongoing success.
IT Support and Training
To maximize the benefit of working with trained IT professionals, empowering your team to leverage new tools and processes is crucial. That’s why we provide comprehensive IT support training for you and your team as part of onboarding.
Our comprehensive training sessions and workshops will help your team better understand new systems, technologies, and software. As a seasoned professional guides them step-by-step through the transition, your employees will learn everything they need to know to do their jobs effectively and efficiently. Plus, the IT Insights support team is available on an ongoing basis to answer any questions or address issues that may arise.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER ONBOARDING
Our commitment to your success continues after the onboarding process. It’s just the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership to help you achieve your organizational objectives and stay on top of the ever-evolving tech landscape. After successfully implementing recommended services, IT Insights will:
- Provide continuous monitoring and reporting
- Proactively identify areas for improvement
- Recommend innovative IT solutions
Transparency and Ownership
Transparency and ownership are among IT Insights’ core principles. Unlike other IT MSPs, when you work with IT Insights, you retain complete control of your assets. Your data, systems, software, and hardware are all yours, and so is the accompanying documentation. If, for any reason, you decide to transition away from IT Insights as your IT support and service provider, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that you own all infrastructure and components. We commit to this because we believe that unwavering ownership builds trust and ensures transparency, making IT Insights a partner you can trust.

WHO IS IT INSIGHTS?
Founded in 2019, IT Insights of Rochester (IT Insights) is an outsourced IT company, or more formally, an IT managed service provider (MSP). No matter the terminology, IT Insights provides top-tier support for business IT systems and recommendations on how to use tools to grow your organization. We’re proud that IT Insights has grown from a small start-up to a significant player in the region’s business community and IT landscape.
Companies are constantly evolving and adapting to new challenges and opportunities in today’s interconnected economy. As an IT support company, we provide responsive, cost-effective solutions that respond to an ever-changing tech landscape. Our approach focuses on offering exceptional support, proactive insights, and tools to keep you ahead of the curve.
WHAT DOES IT INSIGHTS OFFER?
As a managed IT service provider, our outsourced IT team gives businesses all the benefits of on-site IT staff with a more economical price tag. At the time of writing, we are over ten employees, all of which will be working to help your organization in some way – all for less than what you would pay for a single dedicated IT staff member.
IT Insights is more than an IT support company. IT Insights is an IT solutions company.

WHAT IS THE REAL VALUE OF MANAGED IT SERVICES?
What drives your company’s growth?
The demand growth for reliable IT support and consulting across market segments drives the value of managed IT services. There are many options for business IT support, but there’s no perfect solution. Technology is ever-evolving, so it would be presumptuous to hail IT Insights as the absolute answer. That said, customer feedback says we’re headed in the right direction.
IT Insights’ innovative approach allows us to offer a different service model than other IT MSPs. What’s different? We deliver refined solutions, not one-size-fits-all problem-solving.
Our team focuses on reducing overhead costs and being as agile as possible. We don’t try to shoehorn you into an established structure. Instead, IT Insight’s team builds systems customized to your needs using reliable, proven tools. When working with IT Insights, our customers get full-time support with no hidden fees and full ownership of all systems, hardware, and software. Full transparency and no unnecessary fluff.
WHY ROCHESTER?
Rochester is home to a variety of industries with a progress-driven mindset. A blend of historical enterprises and new businesses within the local economy has evolved from a manufacturing focus to expansion in the healthcare and education spaces. For those reasons and more, Rochester offers considerable opportunity. The Rochester community also offers some unique advantages. From a human capital perspective, the area has a robust population of well-trained IT talent supported by the high education standards of local universities.
Plus, the Rochester business community offers robust resources that help small, local businesses thrive. For example, the Greater Rochester Enterprise (GRE) Economic Gardening Program opened new doors for us. It helped us connect with local business leaders, learn about new prospects, and find significant opportunities to support IT Insights’ growth. Specifically, the GRE Economic Gardening Program and its team gave us tools and access that provided invaluable advice and direction. They helped us hone in on marketplace gaps and approaches that better match the needs of our target market.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “PRO TIPS”?
We may be biased, but working with an experienced managed services provider like IT Insights is a smart choice. All organizations need IT systems to operate, and no one can do it all. IT Insights fulfills the need for IT support for companies that lack the resources to maintain a full-time, in-house IT team.
The best way to stay on top of emerging threats and new technologies is to work with an IT pro. But, unfortunately, your friend or employee who knows a lot about coding, laptops, or websites probably isn’t qualified to tackle all IT challenges or needs. IT professionals make it their job to understand the constantly changing IT landscape. That said, anyone can leverage a few best practices to improve IT.
IT Pro Tips
01
Be proactive, not reactive.
Invest in quality tools and systems that fit your unique business needs. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re spared the time and headache for what could otherwise turn into costly damage control efforts.
02
Avoid the “hot new thing.”
Look for tried and true methods tested and proven to work.
03
Invest in cybersecurity.
It’s only becoming easier for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems and use them to carry out malicious activities. You need technology in place before a breach to adequately protect and recover your digital devices, networks, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, theft, or damage.
04
Ensure your systems support the remote work landscape.
The pandemic revealed that many businesses lacked adequate IT systems to support remote work and hybrid models. There’s also a generally increasing need to invest in IT systems to protect organizations from ransomware and phishing attacks.
05
Find an expert.
You don’t ask your mechanic about your taxes, right? It’s the same with IT, except more specialized. So instead, find someone reliable, experienced, and knowledgeable with your best interest in mind.
06
Read the Insights blog.
IT Insights publishes its “Insights” blog each month with tips, recommendations, news, and more. In addition, you’ll find security advice, information on IT infrastructure, emerging trends, and some pretty cute (and furry) employees of the month.
