This heavy service definition process generally means that selecting an MSP is normally done very tightly around specific products or processes and nearly always requires customers to conform to the MSPs standards. In exchange, MSPs can provide very low cost and predictable pricing in many cases. Some of the most famous approaches from MSPs include the concepts of “price per desktop”, “price per user” or “price per server” packages where a customer might pay one hundred dollars per desktop per month and work from a fixed price for whatever they need. The MSP, in turn, may define what desktops will be used, what operating system is used and what software may be run on top of it. MSPs almost universally have a software package or a set of standard software packages that are used to manage their customers. MSPs generally rely on scaling across many customers with shared processes and procedures in order to create a cost effective structure.
