Because of this, many business owners are scrambling to keep up with the pace of innovation and meet the demands of the digital world. This has led to a greater demand and a widespread usage of managed IT services, with over 59% of businesses engaging managed IT providers in recent years.

Often times managed IT services play a huge role in the success of any business, from small to large, and from fairly new to seasoned. Digital, managed IT services will help improve the efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness of your day-to-day operations. Read further to learn more about managed IT services and the numerous reasons and benefits of hiring a managed IT service provider.

What are Managed IT Services?

Generally, managed IT services, delivered by a managed service provider (MSP), involve a set of business technology services provided to clients to improve the functionality of their IT operations and equipment. Our Northwest IT team takes clients’ individual IT needs very seriously. Upon meeting a new client, we will take time to thoroughly investigate their network infrastructure and then provide them with the properly-customized IT services to suit their business needs.

Northwest IT Company scope of services includes:

  • Custom Cloud to Suit Your Specific Needs
  • Remote Management of IT Infrastructure
  • Disaster Recovery Planning and Data Backup
  • Business VoIP Telephone Services
  • Cloud Management
  • Network Monitoring
  • Onboarding and Offboarding Employees

Managed IT services are typically provided around the clock by remote professionals, ensuring 24/7/365 coverage of IT duties that in-house teams cannot render.

Increase Productivity and Efficiency of Your Business

MSPs render the services outlined in their service agreement. They do not need to concern themselves with other routine administrative matters like in-house teams do, allowing them to focus on their IT responsibilities and perform them without getting bogged down with non-IT tasks. As they are bound by service-level agreements, you know what to expect from your MSP and when to expect them. Hiring professional Managed IT service providers can drastically help your business improve IT operations which will result in increased business productivity and efficiency. When you have someone taking care of your IT needs for you, you will have more time to focus on building your business and maximizing revenue and results. If things break, we will be right there to take care of them for you so you don’t have to administer to those concerns yourself.

Reduce Overhead, Business and Management Costs

MSPs often package their services and allow clients to customize their service agreements to only cover what they need. With that, you have the ability to engage an MSP only for functions you require, which you can tie with your budget.

Further, MSPs are only paid for the work they deliver, eliminating the expenses involved in hiring and training IT professionals. Often, managed IT services are paid on a monthly charge, which makes expenses more predictable and manageable. Upon analyzing a client’s business network infrastructure and general IT needs, Northwest IT team will provide customized services and machines, saving you money on needless and useless hardware and software that is often sold in packages.

Work on Contractual Terms

Unlike in-house IT teams that are employed in your company and therefore work set hours and are paid full-time compensation, MSPs are engaged on contractual or subscription-based terms. You can outline terms on a service-level agreement and define the coverage of services to be provided by your MSP.

Not only does this save you from the time, expenses, and headaches associated with recruiting, hiring, and training IT staff, but it also translates to cost-efficiency for your business because you only pay for the services you need.

Get Access to Highly-trained and Experienced IT Experts

Northwest IT Company will give you access to educated, trained, and experienced staff who have advanced knowledge in IT management, monitoring, and support.

Greater Uptime and Expert Guidance for Your Convenience

Typically, the main responsibility of an MSP is ensuring that your IT functions are consistently available. Unlike in-house IT teams where you have to wait the following day to address an outage or security breach that occurs off-hours, an MSP can keep your systems running optimally at all times. Our team at Northwest IT Company are able to work flexibly and attend to maintenance tasks, security patches, updates, and issue-resolution requirements anytime and any day of the week. This allows for greater uptime with minimal workflow interruptions, if any at all.

Less Stressful Work Environment

Work can get stressful enough without having to deal with technological issues. When your business technology is not very reliable, that creates an extra level of unnecessary stress which only generates more negative outcomes. Northwest IT Company will take care of your technological needs and will give you a peace of mind.
