Trying to figure out how managed IT works for small businesses? Managed IT is an umbrella term for business technology services through a third-party provider. Instead of hiring full-time IT staff, you can use managed IT to optimize every aspect of your business technology, including maintaining IT systems, improving operations, and streamlining IT management. If you already have IT staff to handle specific tasks, a managed service provider (MSP) can also customize services to provide expertise where and when you need it.
Benefits of Managed IT
Businesses of all sizes can use MSPs to protect and improve their business technology, data, and overall operations. Here are some top managed IT benefits:
- Fill in IT skill gaps for your existing staff.
- Serve as an outsourced IT manager for your company if you don’t have one.
- Save money on staff and IT training.
- Experience more reliability and services to boost productivity, such as stable network connections and Internet around-the-clock.
- Free up your time and your staff’s time to grow your business instead of dealing with IT issues.
- Optimize IT systems—with an MSP, you’ll know you have the best of the best technology and systems for your business.
Because most managed service providers offer 24/7 on-demand response, you’ll know your business data and IT infrastructure are safe day and night. No more walking into the office Monday morning to an IT disaster or server failure. Instead, the professionals work behind the scenes to keep your business technology running like a well-oiled machine.
What Do Managed IT Services Include?
The services as part of a managed IT plan can range from general maintenance to specific tasks, depending on your business needs. Common services include:
- IT equipment monitoring and maintenance
- Management of IT systems
- Remote server and network monitoring
- Troubleshooting and support services
A traditional managed IT services model monitors your systems and provides solutions if there is a problem. You can also use managed IT to take a more proactive approach to management and maintenance to prevent problems before they happen.
