A managed service provider is a company that manages your business or company’s IT structure remotely under a service level agreement (SLA). It provides you services such as network administration, Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR), Fully
Managed IT Services, 24×7 Help Desk Support, Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM), etc.

In a round-off, you can say that your IT structure is in the safe hands of expert IT professionals. Since Managed IT Services work on the SLA model, you get the benefit of choosing different service models, you can customize
it as per your needs. For instance, in the per-device model, you will be charged a flat fee for each device under management. While, in a per-user model, you will be charged based on the number of users using multiple devices. If you want
complete support, i.e., Total IT care, you will be charged with a fixed monthly cost with all your IT needs to be taken care of.

When a problem occurs, Managed IT services reduce the waiting time to a minimal and increases the response time. It drops the possibility of IT failure. This proactive method of managing your IT increases your productivity and gives you a
hassle-free workflow.
