Let’s talk about something that might sound a bit dry at first but is actually a very fascinating topic – quarterly business reviews (QBRs). You know how catching up with an old friend over coffee can lead to some of your best ideas? That’s precisely what we aim for with our QBRs.

At Mirazon, these sessions become more than just another meeting. QRBs are your chance to take a breather, check in on your IT strategy, and make sure everything’s lined up to keep your business thriving. Let’s dive into why QBRs matter and how to make them helpful.

What Is a Quarterly Business Review?

Look, we get it — the thought of a QBR might make you want to hit the snooze button. However, when done right, these meetings are golden opportunities to make sure your technology is working as hard as you are. 

A QBR is a sit-down you have with your MSP every three to four months. Think of it as your business’s regular health checkup, except we’re the doctors. This is where we chat about your IT performance, tackle any hiccups, and brainstorm ways to improve. It’s not just a check-in — it’s an opportunity to proactively ensure that everything runs smoothly in your IT environment.

What to Expect in a QBR

At its core, a QBR is about keeping your business and technological systems in perfect sync. Here’s what’s on the agenda:

  • Performance check: How’s your IT holding up since the last quarter?
  • Alignment with goals: Are your IT and business goals playing nice together? If not, we’ll fix that. We highlight what’s going great and what could use some TLC.
  • Fresh ideas: Got inefficiencies? Let’s brainstorm tips for an effective QBR — opportunities to streamline processes, save money, or explore new tech.
  • Action plan: We’ll map out the next steps with clear timelines and milestones and then create a plan on how to maximize ROI from your quarterly business reviews.

By the end of the meeting, you’ll leave knowing the next quarter’s QBR strategies for improving IT infrastructure and business performance.

How Mirazon Makes QBRs Better

The Mirazon managed services team makes QBRs as straightforward and productive as possible. Expect no fluff from this Louisville managed service provider, just actionable insights and practical steps.

Forget the bland PowerPoint that feels like you’re watching paint dry. We roll up our sleeves and have honest conversations about what’s working, what isn’t, and what cool new tech could help your business grow in line with your goals. We help to spot trends, improve services, and ensure you get what you need from your IT support provider.

Why Data Security Deserves the Spotlight

Here’s something to think about — in 2023, only 13% of the world had its data protected. This highlights the need for more businesses to invest in robust cybersecurity. The average U.S. data breach cost $9.36 million in 2024— with the health care sector losing $9.42 million per incident — so there’s no better time to secure your systems.

During your QBR, we’ll examine your security setup in depth. We’ll identify gaps, recommend upgrades, and ensure your business stays ahead of the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Ask Away

If you’re wondering, “What questions should I ask in a QBR,” here are some best practices for collaborating with a managed services provider during QBRs:

  • Are there new tools or technologies we should explore?
  • How can we better protect against cybersecurity threats?
  • What’s the next step to align IT with our business goals?
