What Are “Managed IT Services”?

Unlimited, comprehensive IT support and services – at a predictable monthly rate.

Emergency IT services and one-and-done fixes are no longer enough in today’s tech-heavy business environment. 

Managed IT solutions are designed to be there around the clock to ensure companies are utilizing the best technology on the market, proactively monitoring threats, and evolving with industry trends.

Instead of picking and choosing which IT tasks you need completed, turn to a managed IT service company that offers full-service support for any and all of your IT needs. Put your focus on proactive, speedy solutions rather than emergency repairs.

The Growing Need
for Managed IT Services

Why are so many businesses hiring managed IT providers nowadays?

Every company needs quick access to IT professionals without budgeting to hire dozens of different technicians with different areas and levels of expertise. 

An MSP gives you the variety of skills you need to maintain your IT infrastructure at a flat rate that’s less than the cost of maintaining a team of in-house experts.

Common Reasons
to Outsource IT

Generally, there are three categories of companies that benefit from hiring managed IT providers:

  • Companies that are too small to hire an in-house person or team, yet have too many systems and tickets to manage on their own.
  • Organizations with an IT department overburdened with day-to-day tasks like end-user support, troubleshooting, and software upgrades. They are unable to focus on high-level, strategic initiatives or long-term objectives, so they turn to MSPs for help desk support.
  • Businesses with an IT department who are fully capable of handling the day-to-day tasks but require external expertise for more complex projects.
    These projects are usually designed to improve the company’s overall IT strategy, like infrastructure upgradesmigrations, or Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions.
