Frequently asked questions
What is an MSP in IT?
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a company that remotely manages a client's IT infrastructure and end-user systems.
MSPs offer a range of services, including network monitoring, cybersecurity, data backup and recovery, software updates, and technical support.
The aim of MSPs is to enhance efficiency and reliability while reducing the burden on internal IT teams. By outsourcing IT management to an MSP, businesses gain access to specialised expertise, proactive maintenance, and cost-effective solutions tailored to their needs.
This model allows businesses to focus on their core operations while leveraging the latest technologies and industry best practices to optimise their IT environment.
What are fully managed IT services?
Fully managed IT services encompass comprehensive outsourced management of a business's IT infrastructure and systems.
From network management, cybersecurity, data backup and recovery, to software updates, help desk support, and strategic IT planning, a fully managed IT services set up takes care of it all!
Notably, fully managed IT services tend to operate on a subscription-based model, providing predictable costs and scalable solutions tailored to the needs of each customer. This approach offers businesses peace of mind, with the ability to leverage the latest technologies without the burden of maintaining an in-house IT department.
What does an IT managed service team do?
An IT-managed service team oversees the management of a business's IT infrastructure and systems.
Significant responsibilities for a service team include proactive monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting of networks, servers, applications, and devices.
Additionally, an IT-managed service team provides technical support to end-users, resolving issues promptly to minimise disruptions to business operations.
Collaborating closely with customers to understand their unique needs and goals, service teams offer strategic IT planning and consulting services to optimise technology investments.
Overall, an IT-managed service team aims to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and security of a business's IT environment, enabling staff to focus on their core business activities with confidence in their technology infrastructure.
Why should businesses opt for managed IT services?
If you're looking to leverage specialised expertise, proactive maintenance, and cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs, then opting for managed IT services is the right step for you.
When you outsource IT management, you get access to a team of skilled professionals who stay updated on the latest technologies and industry best practices, ensuring optimal performance and security across your network infrastructure.
With someone else handling routine IT tasks, internal teams can focus on strategic initiatives, enhancing productivity and innovation.
Additionally, with Focus Group, we offer 24/7 support for our managed IT services, reducing downtime and mitigating risks associated with IT failures.
What is the difference between managed IT services and IT services?
The main difference between managed IT services and traditional IT services lies in the level of support and responsibility.
Whilst managed IT services provide outsourced management of a business's IT infrastructure, traditional IT services typically involve a more reactive approach, where businesses engage IT professionals on an as-needed basis for specific projects or support issues.
Managed IT services offer ongoing support and strategic guidance, aiming to prevent issues before they occur, while traditional IT services often involve addressing problems as they arise without the proactive monitoring and long-term planning inherent in managed services.
Can managed services reduce total IT costs?
Absolutely! Managed services can reduce total IT costs through several means.
Firstly, Managed services often operate on a subscription-based model, providing predictable monthly expenses without the need for large upfront investments in hardware or software.
Furthermore, Managed service providers (MSPs) typically offer proactive monitoring and maintenance, which can prevent costly downtime and mitigate the risk of cybersecurity breaches or data loss.
By outsourcing routine IT tasks to an MSP, businesses can free up internal resources to focus on core activities, potentially increasing productivity and revenue.
