Managed IT Services

Smart business owners realize that maintaining systems to ensure business continuity is vital and therefore they budget these costs just like every other critical business expense. Investing monthly for skilled technology services, security services, and additional service offerings like cloud services is just a smart, proactive business decision.

If you own or operate a business, you have probably heard of managed IT services. Managed services allow businesses to augment or delegate their IT operations to a specialized, third-party organization so that business owners and executives can focus on running and growing the business. These organizations are known as Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

The Need for Managed IT Service Providers (MSP) is Growing Rapidly

Today’s small to mid-sized business need controlled and managed computer networks, and the demand for managed service providers has resulted in this industry taking off.  As an experienced provider of these services, SkyViewTek specialists will offer many benefits to your business.

What Are the Benefits of Managed IT Services?

The huge growth of managed services in recent years is for good reason. Under the umbrella of Managed IT, companies receive a host of services and benefits. 

Proactive Monitoring
IT is about more than fixing problems when they arise; locating and resolving issues at the earliest stages is vital to keep your business running smoothly. Working with SkyViewTek allows you to focus on your business while we handle monitoring and make your job easier. The various benefits of managed IT services primarily increase overall productivity by creating a reliable, secure, and affordable IT environment.
Priority Response Time
As a managed services program (MSP) client, your team receives priority assistance, unlimited remote support for regular maintenance issues during regular business hours, plus priority response and discounts on rates for additional support and new projects. Our goal is to respond to you within two business hours or less.
Cyber Security Management
As long as your employees or users are accessing the Internet, your computer network can get infected with a virus or even encrypted, even if there is an active antivirus or firewall in place – as no system is 100% risk free. SkyViewTek implements the best practice measures to help minimize security risks, including proactive monitoring (which includes Microsoft Windows patches and updates).
Frees Up Time for Company Management to Focus on Business Goals
Because your business computer network is being taken care of by the experts, your management team is able to focus on meeting or exceeding company goals – which is the reason you went into business!
Employee Productivity
Any time a server or network has downtime, productivity goes down. With technology becoming more specialized, having an expert in charge can help minimize downtime and make sure your business is continually productive.
Trusted and Knowledgeable Service
A good MSP will have expert techs who stay current on new software, hardware and industry best practices, like 3rd party compliance. Your specialist needs to know when updates come out so they can be implemented, when equipment needs to be replaced to avoid a crash, and what is happening in the world of cybersecurity in order to ensure minimal risk to your system and data. When you have someone on your team to take care of these processes, you can avoid the headaches, secure in the knowledge that you have top quality, conscientious technical support.
Procurement of Hardware and Software
Over the years we have developed a network of trustworthy distributors for our hardware/software purchases. They have provided us with responsive customer support and decent return policies (if needed). As a result, their prices are competitive in the marketplace. This means we know we are getting our clients good products with warranties at a fair deal. In addition, we serve as a central point of procurement for our clients, so we are able to generate reports on which user got which product when, and monitor warranty expirations accordingly.
Lower Long-term Hardware and Software Costs
Setting up your own technology architecture can cost thousands of dollars, with additional costs down the road as that technology becomes more and more obsolete. With an MSP, that cost is lower as part of ongoing service, thus freeing up resources.
Discounted Rates for Additional Support and New Projects
As a managed services program (MSP) client, you will receive discounts on rates for additional support and new projects, such as new office openings and new computer migrations.
