What Are Managed IT Services?
Managed IT Services involve outsourcing the responsibility for maintaining and anticipating IT needs to a Managed Service Provider (MSP). Unlike break-fix models, MSPs provide proactive monitoring, maintenance, and support for a predictable monthly fee. Services typically include 24/7 helpdesk, network management, backup & disaster recovery, patch management, and cloud infrastructure management.
