If you are part of your company’s operational or IT management, it is quite possible you have heard of the term Managed Services. If you’ve never used Managed Services, or are interested in learning more about what managed services are at a high level, we hope this blog series assists you.
According to market trends the managed services demand is expected to grow up to $329.1 billion by 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 8.1% during this time. Factors that are driving the market growth are a lack of skilled IT professionals and cost reductions that are driven by lower IT. In this post, we talk about what managed services are, and three benefits to companies that use them .
What Are Managed Services?
- Core server (cloud or on-premise) management
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system updates and support
- Marketing Automation management
- Managing dashboards
- Datacenter and storage facilities management
- End-user management
- IT strategic planning
Benefits of outsourcing managed services
Reduced corporate costs
The implementation of a subsidiary or outsourced managed IT services can reduce overhead costs without hampering the quality of the solutions. Hiring and onboarding new staff will require time and money. It is estimated that it typically takes employees six to eight months before they reach their full productivity level and that one in four employees do not last for longer than a year before moving to another firm. MSPs allow you to remove the time and cost of hiring and retaining employees, and move that cost to a set, known expense. While all companies are different, the average cost savings for companies moving to Managed Services was estimated by Teqfocus to be 20%.
Minimizing downtime and time to resolution
If the operational issues, especially low-level problems, have a longer response time then your employees may be left feeling unsatisfied, and in turn, put a strain on employees completing their day-to-day tasks. MSPs focus on minimizing the downtime of your infrastructure and find solutions in a secure and timely manner to ensure your employees have the technical tools they need to be successful. In short, your MSP should be like a silent, steady partner in keeping your technology and infrastructure operating, smoothly and steadily.
