5 Reasons SMEs in Sussex Need a Managed IT Provider in 2025
In today’s fast-moving business world, technology is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s the backbone of how SMEs in Sussex, Kent, and Surrey operate. Whether it’s safeguarding data, supporting remote teams, or enabling smooth customer experiences, your IT systems need to run flawlessly.
But keeping everything secure, updated, and cost-effective can be a full-time job — and for most SMEs, hiring a large in-house IT team just isn’t realistic. That’s where a Managed Service Provider (MSP) like RJ Cortel Ltd comes in.
Here are five reasons why 2025 is the year to partner with a managed IT provider.
1 - Rising Cybersecurity Threats
Cyber attacks aren’t just aimed at big corporations. SMEs are increasingly targeted because criminals know smaller businesses may have weaker defences.
An MSP ensures your systems are patched, monitored, and compliant with frameworks like Cyber Essentials to protect against ransomware, phishing, and data breaches.
2 - Predictable, Affordable Costs
Instead of unpredictable break/fix bills, managed IT support gives you a fixed monthly cost. RJ Cortel’s packages start from just £25/month, providing unlimited remote helpdesk support, proactive maintenance, and more.
3 - Access to Expertise Without Hiring In-House
Recruiting and retaining skilled IT staff is costly. With an MSP, you gain access to a team of accredited engineers without increasing payroll.
4 - Proactive Maintenance Prevents Downtime
We don’t wait for things to break — our monitoring tools flag issues before they cause disruption. This means fewer interruptions to your business and happier customers.
5 - Scalability for Growth
As your business expands, so will your technology needs. RJ Cortel’s solutions are scalable, from zero-touch device deployment to cloud-based telephony and secure remote access.
