Top 7 reasons for using Managed Services

1. You can focus 100-percent on the business, not technology. Fixing computer and network problems no longer robs your business of your leadership, and you don’t have to worry about attracting and keeping people with the right technical expertise.

2. You get 24/7 worry-free computer systems and network support. This adds up to highly reliable systems and networks, thanks to little or no downtime, automatic system updating and upgrading during off-hours, and troubleshooting reduced to a single phone call to your managed services provider.

3. Your data, systems, and network are more secure. All of your data, system, and network security requirements are handled by dedicated experts, and no one person or group controls passwords or system and network access.

4. The information on which your business depends is safe. The automatic data backups conducted by your managed services provider means that your data is stored offsite in a highly secured location.

5. Relocation—whether it’s voluntary or involuntary—is easier. Because your applications and data are preserved at the managed service provider’s location, moving is as simple as plug-and-play, even if you’re moving because of a disaster, such as fire or flood.

6. Your expenses are predictable. No need to purchase hardware or special ventilation equipment, no additional insurance costs, no overtime costs, no extra office space, no depreciating assets that need replacement—and, perhaps most important of all, no ugly cost surprises.

7. Your ability to monitor and manage system, network, and people performance improves. Reports from the managed services provider make it easy to track activity and performance, so you’ll know when it’s time to consider new technology, restructure processes, etc.
