Managed IT services allow businesses to outsource their IT operations including IT monitoring, maintenance, and support to third-party organizations that masters handling these responsibilities.

Such a third-party organization is known as a managed service provider.

Hiring a managed service provider who provides managed IT services is the best choice for enterprises that do not want to hire, train and manage their own team for IT monitoring, maintenance, and support.

Outsourcing time-consuming and resource-sensitive IT operations to experts is common practice in all business sectors.

The global managed services market was valued at USD 174.98 billion in 2018 and North America has been one of the top contributors.

How does a managed service provider work to ease your IT pain?

All managed service providers follow different working and delivery methods.

However, the most workable and satisfying working and delivery method is a result-oriented method that we are following at SyS Creations.

In a result-oriented method, managed service providers do not only aim to manage the IT resources of clients but also aim to get groundbreaking results out of their efforts.

Results could be anything from operating costs reduction to achieving high productivity and ensuring customer delight.

To achieve the desired results, managed service providers follow the 5-step process.

• Step 1: Assess the client’s requirements, study the client’s existing IT infrastructure and define the goals
• Step 2: Allocate dedicated teams for the client (network team, security team, hardware team, software team)
• Step3: Connect client’s IT infrastructure with their dashboard to keep an eye on each IT component
• Step 4: Act quickly on error or client queries. Provide on-site or remote support
• Step 5: Reassess the requirements and goals after a fixed interval
