Managed Service – Avoiding the Rush
The world of technology can seem like a blitz of complicated decisions, unforeseen snags all mixed into a sea of acronyms. When it comes to Managed IT Services, picking the right partner can be tricky. To help remain secure, stay in touch with the rapid changes in technology and stay ahead of your competition, the traditional model of break/fix and project outsourcing models have been replaced in recent years by the managed service model.
Managed services are almost a budget no-brainer, but the benefits go way beyond the budget impact. Beyond the peace of mind in having a group of professionals managing your IT resources, with managed services, your annual IT spending will be less than hiring even 1 full-time employee. An added benefit is that you can avoid the additional costs and headaches that arise around employee management, retention, and training. Compared to other consulting plans, where you pay per fix or per project, your organization benefits from predictable, regular costs — improving budgeting, forecasting, and planning.
Another significant benefit is access to the knowledge and expertise of a group of IT professionals, which is effectively unmatchable by an individual. Utilizing a managed service company, you benefit not only from the knowledge and experience of an individual person but also from the institutional knowledge of the Manages Services company itself.
Sometimes you need a network administrator, other times, you’ll need a business analyst, maybe a technical architect, a user-trainer, or a project manager. We’ve all heard the phrase when you are a “hammer, every problem is a nail,” and IT services are no different. Having a wide range of experience at your fingertips is a huge benefit.
