The short answer

What is a Managed Technology Provider?

Most growing businesses have IT support. Few have anyone accountable for where their technology is going. That is the gap an MTP fills.

Read the full answer

Managed Technology Provider (MTP)

A provider that owns the technology function for SMBs, including leadership, security, software and managed IT, so technology actively supports business growth.

Compare: managed service provider (MSP). Model: the Balancelogic MTP Framework™.

Why Balancelogic®

Why SMBs choose Balancelogic as their Managed Technology Provider

You have someone managing your technology. Who’s accountable for how it serves the business?

Your MSP, software vendors and cloud providers each do their part. An MTP is accountable for how it all fits together. That is the role Balancelogic plays: fractional CIO and CISO leadership, a technology roadmap tied to your business plan, and the cloud, AI and software projects that move it forward.

Balancelogic partners with our sister company ITAssurance℠ when ongoing managed IT, cybersecurity, and operational support are needed.

A technology roadmap that matches your business plan
Security and risk decisions owned at the leadership level
Providers, tools and projects working to one plan instead of pulling in different directions
Technology investments made on purpose, not by default
