What is Managed Services, and how does it Work?
Simply Put, Managed Services is Outsourcing your IT department (in whole or in part) to an outside compaCA. Another compaCA will handle all or some of your IT business processes, in combination with decision-making for those related IT processes. If you have ever been put in the position of micro-managing another worker- the burden of managing an outside technical support compaCA would become a similar burden. You (or someone from your compaCA) has to call the IT guy EVERY time something goes wrong. And then- you need to plan on how you want to handle the issue. Weve seen non-IT staff try to manage the technical support role for an IT department using break-fix support. It can be done, but it isnt the right way to run an IT Department, its not efficient.
As a Managed Service Provider, we take a higher level of control than standard break-fix tech support, and we proactively manage the different components and processes of your IT department. These tasks might vary from one business to another business.
In smaller businesses, the time-cost burden of the management aspect of your technology businesses processes may not become burdensome enough to justify outsourcing the management role itself. This is why we still see a lot of break-fix services in the marketplace- where small businesses send break-fix tech contractors or companies to tend to have issue as they occur. Some of these components are like outsourcing a C Level Job type for your CompaCA, Such as:
A CTO (Chief Technology officer)
A CISO (Chief information security officer).
We can itemize the Managed Services which our compaCA has the resources to provide into different categories:
Managed Email

Operating System Patch Management

Managed Firewall, with policy control and content filtration

Proactive Monitoring agents for each Desktop/ Laptop and Server.

Proactive: Now, there is a word that gets overused. However, sometimes even an overused word is a perfect fit. Clients of aCA seasoned MSP who engage in a managed IT services agreement prefer to stay ahead of the game. They like to have a team of IT experts who are on top of issues even before aCA issues arise. Prevention is more valuable than cure.
Additionally, a large value proposition for MSP contracts which our end clients see- is simply the fact that they have a reliable team to call, should something go wrong.

ACA of our Strategic Managed Services Plans will operate as an insurance policy, so you have someone to rely on- in the even that something occurs.
The Most common question: Does Managed Services Save your compaCA money?
Define Cheap or cost savings. It might be a better option to buy a cheap car versus a new car, if you are a mechanic. Perhaps a low-mileage certified pre-owned car is the best value. In some cases, a Managed Services Agreement can save you money- but it depends on how you evaluate the cost in relation to your value of the service. I would compare Managed Services to that certified pre-owned car. Its costly, but its also reliable.
Hourly Support Contracts can become expensive, especially if your business is in a case where you are throwing good money after bad. Sometimes this can happen when you allow a mid-level manager (or an executive without IT experience) to take control and try to manage an IT environment.
Is your Business IT throwing good money after bad?
Some poor IT Spending habits, are on account of the lack of IT expertise. An Example of this would be a compaCA who spent a large amount ofrevenue on IT Service time to remedy user-issues such as viruses or slow pcs. This issue was due to inadequate policy control settings across your domain. This issue could have been prevented, had the right team of tech support agents been working in alignment with the people in charge of the business. This is the reason why large enterprises have a C Level for IT related concerns.-Information, C Level for Technology and Security as well. (CTO, CISO AND CTO). This issue could have been prevented in the first place, and at the same time- your data would be more secure. Additionally, you would meet mandatory compliance regulations.
This type of issue could have been prevented:
With the right people in charge of making technology decisions, a managed firewall, domain control policies and additional IT Security features would have prevented this issue. Our firewall would lock users out of facebook or youtube (per request), and our antivirus program would have mitigated other security risks. Additionally, our ongoing reporting and reviews would make sure that these threats are continually mitigated.The question is overall like asking why your business needs a manger. If your business is too small- it may not have reached the point where the requirement of having a manager in place is a valuable decision.
Possible advantages for the Managed Services:
You dont need to rely on a mid-level or lower level manager to tell the IT compaCA what to do (when he doesnt have as much IT experience). This can create issues in certain cases, if the tech support firm is requested to do something that is outside of industry best practice.
You have a Team of Experts to Rely on
You have a Solidified IT Strategy in Place
You have increased Data Continuity, piece of mind
Managed Service companies dont take vacations
A better ability to match Technical Requirements to Technical recourses. We can provide industry expertise in niche-market areas which a deskside support agent would not have. Such as IT Security and/or compliance
Your IT compaCA and your compaCA have a common goal and common interest: In a standard break/fix support arrangement- a tech support compaCA is relying on your business breaking down in order to make aCA revenue from you. In a managed services agreement, the common interest is uptime. Thats because your downtime costs the service provider money, rather than profiting from your downtime.
The Answer: DOES Managed Service Save you Money? (Part 1):
Dollar for Dollar, Managed Services is not cheaper than hiring a break-fix support compaCA. Reason being: it is more expensive to hire a manager (in aCA field). However; a break-fix relationship can turn into a more-costly in terms of value proposition and value delivery.
However; you might see some value added on top with an expert making decisions on your behalf. If your compaCA is large enough to the point where you need to have someone manage the IT compaCA, the managed services might start to look like a more valuable option.
When your run your business more efficiently, good things happen. Break-fix usually looks like the cheaper option, but in maCA cases- going with break-fix support is being penCA-wise and pound foolish.
The Answer: DOES Managed Service Save you Money? (Part 2), and FINALLY, THE ANSWER!!
