How Does SaaS Backup Help to Grow Your MSP Business?
Organizations expect their MSPs to provide them with comprehensive management of a suite of cloud services at an optimal cost. With customers increasingly moving to SaaS platforms such as Office 365, G Suite, Salesforce, and others, SaaS data protection is a critical business priority. With the widescale adoption of remote work, this is all the more true. The verdict amongst cloud-centric MSPs is that cloud adoption to enable the remote workforce is here to stay. Valuable SaaS data can be lost to malware, hackers, downtime, sync errors, human error, and/or malicious intent. Capitalizing on this by meeting your customers’ SaaS data protection requirements can open new business avenues that offer significant ROI.
How Can You Minimize Your Customer’s Data Loss Costs With SaaS Backup?
Businesses worldwide may have slowed with COVID, but hackers certainly haven’t. Breaches continue to rise in terms of number, frequency, and cost. The average breach costs $3.92 million and takes 197 days to detect. SaaS backup speeds up data recovery, which improves the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which in effect speeds up disaster recovery. This can help your customer reduce the costs of data loss and minimize the business downtime consequences of data loss. Below is a downtime calculator to conclusively demonstrate the cost of downtime to your customers.
