The brief
Managed Service Providers work in New Orleans
New Orleans has a steady base of small and mid sized businesses that need someone to run their networks, their email and their security: law firms downtown, clinics, restaurants with several locations, contractors, and the professional services firms that cluster around the CBD and the Warehouse District. Many of these businesses are too small to keep IT staff on payroll, which is where managed service providers come in. The demand is local and it is relationship driven, and a good share of it moves through referrals rather than search. That leaves room for the provider whose pages show up when a business owner finally types in what they need. Franchises and owner operators both work this market, and the searches reflect it: people look for a local provider they can call, not a national brand.
