What is a managed service?
A managed service is designed to manage the everyday operations of a company’s specialized applications. It involves the outsourcing of business administration & management responsibilities to a third party.
Here are some of the perks of managed services:
Obtain the expertise you require
With managed services, a company can hire a whole team of IT professionals at a fixed monthly rate. Also, some Managed Services Providers (MSPs) offer a shared approach to managed services. They allow companies to add/remove specialists from their managed services team as required, subject to the demands of specific projects.
The specialists comprise technical, functional, architectural & training consultants who can assist companies in ensuring their systems are always functioning and leveraging their maximum potential.
Maintain low expenses
Managed services help reduce labor costs and get rid of unexpected service costs & expenses that are spent on hiring & training new IT staff.
The facility of having access to skills on a scalable basis is hugely attractive. Add to it the fact that most MSPs provide a hybrid model of onshore & offshore resources, and companies are able to receive the benefits of a reduced average effective rate and a widening of their resource base.
Receive support as and when required
Most Managed Services Providers are always available as they provide 24/7 flexibility, on-call options & weekend support (please note that these are generally costed alternatives).
Prevent costly downtime
Network downtime can be hugely expensive for businesses. This is where MSPs come to the rescue! The proactive approach of MSPs toward maintenance involves the utilization of remote monitoring & management to identify, diagnose & troubleshoot potential issues before they even materialize.
Scale your system up & down as per your necessities
With the evolution of technology, companies are required to scale their system up or down to integrate them. MSPs help big time in such scenarios as they are able to respond in real-time to modifications in demand, ensuring zero worries for businesses regarding system downtime.
