Frequently Asked Questions


Ask our Customer Support

What are managed IT services?

In a nutshell, managed IT services is the outsourcing of some or all IT operations and functions to a third party. Organizations turn to managed services providers (MSPs) for a variety of reasons, but most commonly, they are employed by organizations with no internal IT team or those that want to use their in-house IT professionals to focus on certain initiatives rather than operational responsibilities for managing technology.

MSPs provide a vast range of services from the basics — such as help desk support and keeping IT equipment and services functioning — all the way up to providing the full suite of IT capabilities, including cyber security, internet connectivity, application support, data backups, and disaster recovery.

Managed IT Services vs. Traditional IT Support: What are the differences?

[Outsourcing IT services] gives us the flexibility to scale services up or down as the company grows or contracts, without the sharp cost increases associated with hiring additional full-time IT employees. Instead of doubling expenses the moment we exceed the capacity of a single internal employee, outsourced services allow costs to adjust gradually and predictably.
