Frequently Asked Questions

What are managed IT services and how can I tell if my provider is delivering them?

Many people are used to the idea of break/fix IT. When something related to your technology systems malfunctions, you call someone to fix it. Managed IT services are more proactive and comprehensive. Typically, a managed service provider manages and monitors your technical assets, keeping your computers and servers up to date with patching, operating system updates, and protective anti-virus software. Your servers and network health are monitored 24/7, and if a problem is detected, the MSP will notify you about it and resolve the issue based on your preferred response time.

How is a managed service provider different from an hourly services provider?
