As many may know, IT outsourcing covers a large area of IT consulting talent including our favorite, managed services.  As more businesses look into managed IT services to assist in their daily operations, there still is a large amount of companies trying to figure out how they should implement managed services within their organizations and how it can help.

Remember, it is better to do it right the first time.

We have put a quick list of how many ways managed services can help your business run with increased uptime and productivity against your competitors.

 

Question:

What Is Managed Services?

Answer:

Managed IT services is the practice of outsourcing daily IT management to a third party.

Many companies use this as a strategic business tool to improve operations and accelerating their ROI on technology investments.

Most managed services providers (MSP) use different models to deliver managed services including anything from basic monitoring services, hybrid managed services to full managed services. Companies that use a hybrid model usually rely on their internal IT department to handle large projects and planning while the managed services provider takes over the daily IT management tasks.

 

Question:       

How can Managed Services Help Your Business?

Answer:          

Managed services providers can help in many areas that can be divided into three areas. Monitoring, Operation and Optimization.

We put together a quick overview of the three different areas with a brief explanation.

Monitoring     Let’s face it, it you proactively monitor something, you can avoid many different possible issues down the line. A true managed service provider can integrated their own Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools to monitor your network and keep you in the loop on the health of your network.

Operation       Now that your trusted IT consulting partner has installed his Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, many clients might wish to transfer the actual operation of a solution over to a third party managed services provider (MSP). The managed services provider will install their Professional Services Automation (PSA) in order streamline their operations and technology.

Optimization  Here is where you can see the difference. You have engaged a managed services team to handle all your daily IT management. They have implemented their tools including Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) and Professional Services Automation (PSA) tools. Now they can apply the latest industry best practices to ensure everything is running smoothly and improve overall performance through optimization.

 

Question         Why is Managed Services Growing?

Answer            Businesses these days prefer to bundle everything into one IT consulting contract including vCIO, Managed IT Services and Cloud Services to mention a few. Many managed services providers offer these service but it is important for the client to do their due diligence.
