As a Managed Service Provider (MSP), your primary goal is to deliver top-notch IT services to your clients. But have you ever considered offering product development services to your customers? Outsourced product development, also known as Product Development as a Service (PDaaS), can be an excellent way for MSPs to maximize profits and grow their business.
In this article, we’ll explore how MSPs can leverage PDaaS to increase their revenue and provide better value to their clients.
What is PDaaS?
Product Development as a Service (PDaaS) is a model where a third-party service provider takes care of the entire product development process for a client. PDaaS providers specialize in software development and offer various services such as product ideation, design, development, testing, and maintenance.
PDaaS allows MSPs to offer end-to-end product development services to their clients without investing in additional resources or hiring a new team. MSPs can partner with PDaaS providers and white-label their services to offer product development as part of their existing offerings.
How can MSPs benefit from PDaaS?
Expand your service offerings
By partnering with a PDaaS provider, MSPs can offer a broader range of services to their clients. MSPs can now offer product ideation, design, development, and maintenance services, allowing them to become a one-stop shop for all their client’s IT needs. This can help MSPs win more business and retain existing clients.
Lower costs and increase profits
PDaaS providers have specialized expertise in software development and can deliver products faster and more efficiently than MSPs who do not have a dedicated product development team. By outsourcing product development, MSPs can reduce their operational costs and increase their profits.
Improved project management
PDaaS providers have a streamlined product development process, and they have the expertise to manage projects efficiently. MSPs can leverage this expertise and offer better project management services to their clients. This can result in higher customer satisfaction and more repeat business.
Scalability
PDaaS providers can scale their services based on the client’s needs, making it easier for MSPs to handle clients with varying project sizes. MSPs can white-label these services and offer them to their clients without investing additional resources.
How to get started with PDaaS?
Find the right PDaaS provider
When choosing a PDaaS provider, look for a partner with a proven track record in software development. Look for a provider offering a wide range of services, including product ideation, design, development, testing, and maintenance. Ensure they have a transparent pricing model and can deliver projects within your client’s timeline and budget.
