Solution Builders (952-230-1166) has published a new guide comparing local and national managed IT providers, helping Bloomington-area businesses evaluate their options before selecting a technology partner.
Bloomington, United States, October 20, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Solution Builders, a Bloomington, Minnesota-based managed IT services provider, has published a new guide examining how local and national IT support providers differ in practice. The resource walks business owners through key distinctions in communication, service structure, and long-term technology planning to help them make a more informed decision when choosing an IT partner.

The guide comes as more companies weigh outsourcing their technology needs against maintaining an internal IT department — a decision that often comes down to choosing between a nearby specialist or a larger national firm. Solution Builders created the resource for business owners and IT decision-makers who want a clearer picture of what each type of provider relationship typically involves.
The managed services market has grown rapidly as businesses look to outside providers for technology support. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global managed services market was valued at $330.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $1.12 trillion by 2034, a compound annual growth rate of nearly 15 percent. Providers today range from small regional firms to large national companies.
That range is exactly what Solution Builders' guide addresses, walking through practical differences such as response times, account management structure, and how pricing models compare between provider types. Rather than favoring one model over the other, the guide outlines questions business owners can ask when evaluating a potential IT partner.
"Choosing between a local or national IT partner is one of the biggest decisions a growing business will make, and there's no single right answer for every company," Dan Melling, founder and CEO of Solution Builders, said. "This guide is meant to give business owners a clear way to think through that decision, rather than just picking whichever provider they've heard of."
