Outgrown your MSP?

Outgrown Your MSP?

Your business is scaling. Your IT partner should too.

You’re probably experiencing at least one of these scenarios:

Outgrowing Their Capabilities

When you started, they were perfect. Now you’re exploring cloud migration, implementing AI tools, or expanding to new locations and suddenly they’re out of their depth. Your MSP should scale with your ambition, not limit it.

Surprise Issues That Could’ve Been Prevented

A server goes down. A backup fails. A security gap gets exploited. And every time, it’s the same story: “We didn’t know that would happen.” Proactive monitoring should mean problems get fixed before you ever know they existed.

Endless problem handoffs

You explain the problem to the service desk. They escalate to Level 2. Level 2 doesn’t have context. You explain again. The specialist who actually understands your environment is “unavailable.” Your IT partner should know your business as well as you do.

Sound familiar? You deserve an IT partner who eliminates these frustrations, not one who contributes to them. See how First Focus stacks up against other MSPs here.

Big MSP Capability, Boutique MSP Experience.

Many mid-market businesses outgrow their managed service provider. Their business scales, but their MSP doesn’t keep up. They still want personal attention, but need stronger support, deeper expertise and a broader range of IT services.

That’s why we built our pod-based service delivery model.

Each client gets a semi-dedicated pod: a small, stable team that only looks after a limited group of customers. Because your team knows you and you know them, you get faster resolution, better communication and a Super-Green experience every time.

As we have grown and gone through changes, First Focus have helped every step of the way and ensured our systems are up to date with a constantly evolving IT environment.

Michael Feliciano

Director of Corporate Services, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons

When COVID hit, First Focus swiftly implemented a number of projects to improve the security and stability of our IT systems and support a remote work environment. I highly recommend First Focus to any company that wants a future-facing IT infrastructure managed by people you can trust.

Chen Chen

IT Infrastructure Manager at Australia Post FDS

As a division of Australia Post we must maintain a high level of security to protect customer data and the First Focus’ Managed network and Firewalls provide us with this. The level of support they provide for our cloud infrastructure is second to none, which is crucial to the continued day-to-day operations of our business.

Nayyar Ghaznavi

CIO at Rexel Holdings Australia

The team at First Focus have developed a strong relationship with Rexel Holdings Australia which has led to us outsourcing a number of services to them, the largest of which is the SD-WAN. The First Focus team are collaborative and engage extremely well with our team and our extended partner network to deliver quality outcomes.

Drew Auld

CIO, Nesuto Australia and New Zealand

First Focus provides excellent technical support, and I can always count on friendly and expert advice from the whole team.

CI Australia

Executive Assistant, CI Australia PTY LTD

CI Australia started working with First Focus in 2019. We were looking for an MSP that could deliver increased service quality with pricing that matched our budget. First Focus was originally in our top three preferred providers. What really helped them stand out was their proposal – there was no over- or under-scoping – and their reputation for good people and services.

Kate Smart

Renu Energy

We are happy with First Focus' attentiveness and availability of TAMs and support techs. Their ability to identify problem areas and working to resolve in a timely manner exceeds our expectations. Although we have been faced with some on-boarding issues, First Focus have been dedicated to working with us to rectify these issues and undertaking process improvement where needed.

Caitlin Hughes

Corporate Services Manager, Harrier Group

Our people now trust their IT. They don’t have to spend hours researching IT answers because they trust that when a call is logged it will be resolved. I’ll recommend First Focus to anyone because I know that they’ll be in good hands.

FAQs

FAQs


Most transitions are completed within 6-8 weeks. We handle the detailed work: environment assessment, documentation, team training, and cutover planning. Our approach minimises disruption. Many clients tell us operations actually run more smoothly during the transition than they did before.

We're happy to work with your timeline. Many clients start planning 90 days before their contract expires. We can begin the assessment and transition planning while you're still under contract, so you're ready to go when it ends. Some clients find the improvements justify exiting early, but that's entirely your call.

We offer transparent per-user-per-month pricing starting from $149/user. This includes comprehensive IT support, cybersecurity, monitoring, and access to F-Connect. Custom quotes account for specific needs like onsite support, specialised security requirements, or complex infrastructure. No hidden fees or surprise charges.

You choose and you can change it as your needs evolve. Some clients use onshore during business hours and offshore for extended coverage. Others prefer 100% onshore or 100% offshore. We're flexible because every business has different priorities.

We have succession plans for every client relationship. If your TAM moves on, we introduce a transition partner who's already familiar with your account. The average TAM tenure at First Focus is 5.2 years (compared to an industry average of 1.8 years), so this happens rarely.

That works well. We often partner with internal teams, filling gaps in expertise, providing after-hours coverage, and handling projects your team doesn't have capacity for. Many clients use us to complement their IT team rather than replace it.

All client data is stored in Australian data centres. We're Privacy Act compliant and follow Australian Cyber Security Centre guidelines. Our security practices are ISO 27001 certified, and we maintain detailed documentation for compliance requirements.

Ready to Make the Switch?

If you’ve outgrown your current MSP, let’s talk about what’s next.

Switching IT providers feels like a big decision, and it is. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. We handle the transition process carefully, ensuring minimal disruption while setting you up for long-term success.

800+ Australian businesses have made the switch to First Focus. They tell us the hardest part was waiting so long to do it.

Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch within one business day to discuss whether we’re a good fit for each other.
