WHY MANAGED IT SERVICES?
Managed IT services refers to when a company chooses to outsource the handling, management, and maintenance of their IT systems to a third party in order to make their operation smoother and more efficient. Many companies are adopting this approach and it seems the trend of utilizing managed IT services as a third party extension of one’s own organization or business is going to grow further in upcoming years, with a predicted growth rate of 12.5 percent between the years 2017 and 2020.

BENEFITS OF USING MANAGED IT SERVICES
Let’s look at a few reasons why more than half the companies operating in the modern world are outsourcing their IT handling and why you should think about doing so as well:

1. Cut down on your expenses
Managing IT systems is a complex task and requires staff that has been heavily trained and is ideally experienced in the field that they are required to operate or monitor. Not only that, but the costs associated with these IT systems can fluctuate quite a bit, thus denting your budget plans and often causing you to go overboard. Outsourcing IT, on the other hand, helps you to induce consistency into your systems in terms of quality as well as costs.

2. Leverage the expertise
Regardless of how qualified IT employee may be, the experience, collaboration, and potential that a team of highly experienced and professionally trained IT specialists brings is simply unparalleled. In exchange for a small subscription cost, you can tap into this experience and utilize it driving the growth of your business.

3. Stay on top and up to date
Ensuring you remain on top of your competition in your respective niche is keeping up with the latest technologies and integrating them within your IT systems to stay up to date and capable of providing the best service to your customers. Third parties providing managed IT services harbor all the technical training and knowledge needed to implement new technologies in order to support your business operations.

4. Strengthen the core
As business owner, there are multiple aspects of the business you must give your attention to if the business is to thrive. Managed IT services enable you to dedicate your time and efforts to developing business strategy and executing those strategies as opposed to developing and maintaining complicated IT systems.
5. Compete with the big guns
If you are a relatively smaller business, you may think that there is no way you can compete with the larger players in your industry, especially since you do not have enough capital to make significant investments. Outsourcing IT allows you to ‘borrow’ equipment that you may not have been able to afford otherwise and use it to drive the growth of your company.

6. No need to fret
By outsourcing IT operations, you essentially rid yourself of the need to worry about the security or compliance issues that may arise with your servers or other hardware. Most businesses have to comply to a standard that has been set by the relevant authorities and failure to meet them in any aspect of the business can lead to heavy fines which can bog down your progress. A managed IT service would take care of all of those problems for you by ensuring that your equipment is always secure and compliant with the rules and regulations.
