You shouldn't wait for a crisis before you think about your relationship with your IT provider.

If you rely on a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to support and secure your business, that relationship carries enormous risk, and most business leaders don't realize it until something goes wrong.

How to Fire Your MSP is a practical, plain-English guide to help you evaluate, fix, or replace an MSP without drama or downtime.

Written by an MSP owner with nearly three decades in the industry, this book pulls back the curtain on how managed IT services actually work-what good MSPs do, what bad ones hide-and why most companies stay in failing relationships far too long.

Rather than pushing you toward an impulsive decision, the book gives you a clear process to:

  • Identify the true cause of your dissatisfaction (it's rarely price).
  • Decide whether the relationship can be repaired, and how to go about it.
  • Regain control of administrative access, credentials, and documentation.
  • Evaluate new MSPs based on maturity, security, and alignment-not sales tactics.
  • Transition providers safely, professionally, and on your terms.
This second edition has been expanded by over 70% with clarifications, additional resources, and a clearer framework for the transition process. Specific attention has been given to security, governance, MSP accountability, and modern risks, including how to evaluate an MSP's own security posture.

This book is for:

  • Business owners and executives
  • COOs, CFOs, and operations leaders
  • Anyone responsible for overseeing an outsourced IT relationship
You don't need to fire your MSP to benefit from this book.
