Frequently Asked Questions

A managed IT service is an outsourcing arrangement with an IT service provider which delivers ongoing services, such as hardware, software, network, application, security and Infrastructure.

A managed IT service differs from the break-fix model by ensuring that issues are dealt with proactively and promptly. It provides IT expertise which may be absent or not cost effective to manage in-house. A managed IT service provider helps to monitor and manage your network, often pre-empting potential issues that could lead to an outage or downtime. This model also assists with more predictable and scalable spending and enables a single point of contact to technology vendors.

This depends on the needs of your business, how large your business is, how critical downtime is to your operations and the technical abilities of in-house staff. Generally speaking, the practice of fixing a problem just when something is broken is outdated and most businesses would find a managed IT service a more cost effective solution to address any IT shortfalls.

The main benefits of using a managed IT service provider is ensuring you have a reliable and secure IT system utilising the latest technologies. This results in maximum uptime, minimal disruption and as few outages as possible. When something does go wrong, you already have an established relationship with a company that understands your organisation, your network and your IT needs.

A managed IT services team will work proactively with decision makers in your organisation to ensure there is minimal disruption to the day to day operation of your business. They will proactively structure and schedule maintenance of key IT infrastructure to ensure the smooth running of your organisation, and advise on technology that can improve resilience and business continuity in the event of an outage.

We would always recommend a managed IT service over an ad-hoc break-fix model. A managed IT service will help your organisation to maintain maximum uptime and minimise outages. Outsourcing your IT support is often a more cost-effective option because you do not have to employ an in-house person on a full-time basis, and cover them during times of absence. It also gives you access to a diverse range of IT skills and in the field advice that would be difficult to find in one person alone.
