Managed services are the current trend in the IT industry. This is a monthly flat rate plan that takes unpredictability out of IT expenses. For a fixed monthly fee, a managed service provider (MSP) agrees to handle all covered IT needs eliminating hourly billing and surprises when you receive your invoice. With this arrangement the MSP has the motivation to keep your IT system running smooth with no problems. This is a win for the business owner as the MSP will tend look at the system comprehensively to proactively prevent problems resulting in increased up time. One example of the kinds of services MSPs provide is hardware-as-a-Service – instead of purchasing IT equipment, an MSP will offer to provide the equipment and the support for that equipment for a monthly price. This allows a business owner to afford the IT infrastructure they need to succeed without a huge upfront investment.
