Managed IT Services
What Exactly are “Managed IT Services”?
The Advantages of Managed Services for Businesses
“Managed Services is the proactive management of an IT (Information Technology) asset or object, by a third party typically known as a MSP, on behalf of a customer. The operative distinction that sets apart a MSP is the proactive delivery of their service, as compared to reactive IT services, which have been around for decades.” – MSPAlliance
In other words, Managed Services allows a business to offload IT operations to a service provider, known as a Managed Services Provider. The managed service provider assumes an ongoing responsibility for 24-hour monitoring, managing and/or problem resolution for the IT systems within a business.
Managed Services began with Large Fortune 500 companies and their huge networks
It became more effective for large companies to outsource their technology systems to a dedicated team of professionals instead of having an in house solution.
In 2005, systems started to mature that allowed smaller companies to take advantage of the same features and benefits as the large companies. This technology started the Managed Services movement.
Finally, Managed Services was available for small to medium sized businesses
The Managed Services software that is in place today allows providers to work towards two major goals:
Everything on your network that will result in a user symptom or risk will send an alert before or when it happens, and the Managed Service Provider will know about it.
Every alert they get is something important and needs to be addressed.
The more closely a Managed Service provider can get to these two goals, the more perfectly they can achieve a truly managed service and the more they can get away from “everything being an emergency” situation.
