TOP FIVE Hidden Cost Savings of Managed Services - TITAN GS

Aug. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Businesses around the world are becoming more dependent on critical IT systems and software to achieve business objectives and gain a competitive edge. At the same time, the critical corporate IT asset has become more complex and costly to manage.

For most corporations, the bulk of the IT budget is spent on basic maintenance tasks, while a small amount is set aside for business innovation.

More leading edge companies are turning to managed services to solve these issues. A managed service provider takes care of your computing resources and business applications to ensure availability, optimal performance and maximum security.

Managed services offer businesses access to affordable expertise and technology without upfront capital costs or ongoing investments in technology upgrades. Beyond the hard cost savings, there are several hidden cost savings realized through partnering with a Managed Service Provider.

TOP FIVE Hidden Cost Savings of Managed Services:

1)    Boost In-House IT Effectiveness

In-house IT employees spend much of their time responding to system and end-user issues. That means they most likely have little if any time to perform strategic work or support innovative projects. Managed Service providers can take on running the network and maintaining applications while in-house IT staff can be used as a strategic resource that can increase profits.

2)    Pay for Actual Versus Maximum IT use

Having a large in-house IT department can be costly, especially if you don’t need experts round the clock. Managed Service providers allow you to only pay for IT support when you need it.

3)    Competitive Advantage

Managed Service providers can reduce IT costs while providing access to innovative and cutting-edge technologies and expertise that can give companies a competitive edge in the marketplace.

4)    Increase Performance

Managed Services providers offer proactive measures to keep your systems running strong and effectively including system health checks, patch management and more.  That results in a reduction in downtime and improved employee productivity.

5)    Reduce Risk

Every business investment carries a certain amount of risk. Financial conditions, competition, government regulations, and technology can all change quickly. Managed Service Providers manage much of the risk for you, with expertise in areas including security and compliance issues.
