When a company is growing, many different things need to be taken care of. This includes everything from hiring new employees, to managing finances and marketing campaigns. There’s one thing that some companies forget about, though: their IT infrastructure. That’s why they should consider outsourcing it to an experienced managed IT services provider like us at SADOS.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what a managed IT services provider can offer organizations and why you might want to outsource your IT needs with us!
What are Managed Services?
Managed services are a type of outsourcing in which business administration and management responsibilities are entrusted to a third party. You’ll notice that this definition isn’t confined to IT; instead, it refers to any area of business administration or management. That said, managed IT services is the most frequent phrase used to refer to managed services, and they will be our focus here.
What is a Managed IT Services Provider?
A managed IT services provider (MSP) is any company that will take over an aspect of your business operations to free up time and resources for the organization itself to focus on other areas. If you’re starting with a small business or do not know about the ins and outs of IT, you should consider outsourcing your IT needs to an MSP.
What Can A Managed Service Provider Offer You?
There are many reasons an MSP can be highly beneficial to your company, but here are some of the main ones.
Access to Technical Experts
One of the most important benefits a managed IT services company can provide is access to technical experts that you don’t have in-house or wouldn’t be able to afford on your own. Additionally, when something goes wrong with IT infrastructure, it can be fixed immediately by an experienced professional in solving the issue.
Centralized Billing
One of the biggest problems with managing your own IT can be very time-consuming and challenging. Not only will you have to deal with any issues as they come up, but you’ll also need to go through invoices from different suppliers that may or may not provide a transparent view into their costs. With an MSP, you’ll have one company responsible for all of your IT needs which means that all invoices will be consolidated.
This is vital if the organization wants to know precisely what they’re paying for and how much money they’ve spent on their services each month. Furthermore, suppose there are any issues with service quality or delivery. In that case, this also gives the company a way to communicate with one person or department rather than contact multiple suppliers.
Cost Savings
For an MSP to provide their services, they need access and equipment that is on par with what your organization already has in place. This means that you’ll have top-of-the-line hardware running at all times, and you won’t have to pay for the setup or maintenance.
This is an excellent way to save money because it will cut down on equipment costs as well as lower your power usage by allowing an MSP’s hardware to be more efficient than what your organization can likely provide itself.

24/7/365 Monitoring
A managed service provider can monitor your IT infrastructure on a 24/7/365 basis to make sure everything runs smoothly and that there aren’t any issues with stability or security of data (more on this later). This way, you don’t have to worry about your employees losing access to their work data or experiencing any downtime.
Automation
Any task you can automate with the software will save both time and money when outsourced to an MSP, like backing up data or updating security systems. That way, your company doesn’t have to spend extra resources on doing these tasks and will still save money.
Proactive Support
A managed service provider can help you proactively find and fix potential issues before they happen, which will save your company money in the long run. For example, an MSP may notice that the cooling system in your server room isn’t working to its full potential and recommend a solution before it causes severe damage.
An MSP can also provide a refresh schedule for all your computers and equipment, which will prevent them from experiencing issues before they happen and allow you to have reliable equipment.
Quick Resolution of Issues
If you have a problem with your IT infrastructure, then an MSP can get on top of it right away. In contrast, if the company tried to manage everything themselves, they would likely be dealing with more issues than ever before since you’ll already have access to all the technical information from your equipment and software. As a result, any issue that comes up will be solved quickly and efficiently.
Consistent & Secure Data Management
One of the essential things for an MSP to do is protect your company’s data and ensure it stays secure at all times. This means having backup plans in place so that employees can still access their work information whether they’re on or offline and ensuring security measures are in place to protect your company from outside threats such as malware and ransomware.
Privacy of Data
An MSP can help your company maintain a high level of security by ensuring that all data is encrypted and kept on secure servers. This way, any sensitive information will be safe from hackers or other threats to the system—which makes it essential for companies in specific industries, like healthcare, which may need extra protection for their patients’ data.
Time to Focus on Business
Since your company won’t have to focus on maintaining a proper IT infrastructure, they will be able to spend more time and energy focusing on the core functions of their business. This means that everything from hiring employees or meeting with important clients can become easier without any worries about computer issues getting in the way.
Why Is This Good For Your Business?
Trusting your IT needs to an MSP is suitable for your business because it frees up valuable resources that you can put to use on the things that will grow and improve the company.
