IT Solutions - A Smart Investment Decision

Posted by commit on February 10th, 2015

Investing in managed IT solutions is a common practice among medium and large sized organizations. These companies have well established relationships with third party companies who manage their servers remotely and sometimes even physically through a special and highly secure hosting location.

Frontline support may be the most difficult to outsource, although deciding to do so frees up internal IT skills and resources to accomplish more productive purposes. This approach can also prove effective if you want a more self-reliant and capable on-site IT support, or wean other departments away from interrupting in-house IT staff constantly.  Outsourced solutions for managed network services are also gaining importance, especially as companies see the growing need for a highly connected business.

Network convergence has become possible, with the use of managed network services offered by reliable third party providers who can assume the responsibility of operating important elements of communication, ranging from local and wide area networks to voice and data. Certain providers even provide managed and hosted telephones  to enhance a more comprehensive service.  Managed connectivity solutions expand an organization's remote access capabilities and allows for better security.

Depending on your arrangement with your service provider, you can usually retain ownership of IT assets or choose the alternative, in which you fully outsource your network. Managed network solutions have become a trend as mobile convergence and the merging of voice and IP networks are becoming too demanding to be kept in-house. The same goes for managed storage services, due to the growing message volumes and the rising need for business continuity. As off-site provision for these services and resources grow, competition among providers are also growing fiercely, bringing fees to more competitive rates.

A clearly structured service-level agreement makes a highly desirable third party offering and is something that you should always consider when searching for IT solutions. Outsourcing your IT requirements is often a simpler and more cost-effective approach than managing them internally, because such major operational requirements can have a significant impact on your general resources and your internal manpower.

Managed security is also steadily growing as more organizations overcome their resistance to the concept of third party security services. Managed IT security is in fact, a practical investment decision as threats to IT infrastructure are becoming more sophisticated than simple firewall and in-house security can defend against. Managed IT solutions can provide comprehensive management and security to any network and business operation.
