What is Managed Services?

Managed services is the practice of transferring your day-to-day IT management responsibilities as a strategic method for improved effective and efficient IT operations to Managed Services Provider or MSP.  

Businesses are increasingly dependent on IT, making it essential to have experts to handle the regular maintenance of your IT infrastructure. However, most small and medium <a href='/glossary-redirect.cfm?term=What is Managed Services?'>What is Managed Services?</a>businesses cannot afford to hire a qualified, 

full-time IT administrator. Managed Services is the best solution, since it allows you to concentrate on managing your business while the managed service provider proactively handles your day-to-day IT operations.  Many managed services models offer fixed fee or flat fee pricing models which allows for greater budgeting and increased savings over break / fix model.

When compared with a Break/Fix or Block Hours model, Managed Services clients will receive the greatest possible support, priority, and savings, in exchanged for their dedication to a top-flight network infrastructure.
