FAQ’s
- IT systems come with manufacturer warranties, so what’s the relevance of managed service?
Warranties do take care of the products by themselves. Organisations can minimise the risks of individual products through adequate warranties. However, an information system is the amalgamation of various technology products that need to be managed by following adequate processes and with knowledgeable technical resources while focusing on availability, performance, and security. The right managed service provider will perform the following services for adequate maintenance of the information system
- Integration – Configuration/reconfiguration, fine-tuning
- Break fix – Troubleshoot issues affecting uptime
- Administration – Manage user requests, optimise usage
- Updates – Updating hardware/software with appropriate patches
- Management – Track users’ request, documentation, policy enforcement
- Vendor management – Managing various vendors for product procurement, warranty service tracking
- How SMEs are benefitted by using an IMS (IT Managed Service)
The onus of maintaining knowledge, exposure, and skill required to manage the IT system demands a considerable amount of management bandwidth, dedicated resources, energy, and money. IT system management would require a Strategy, Management, and execution team.
However, at the same time, there may not be enough work for such an elaborate team in an SME environment. Further hiring and maintaining such an exhaustive team would also mean a substantial investment that may not be justified. In this scenario, the support of a Managed Service Provider (MSP), who offers acquired expertise and skill, with customised delivery options will be a wise choice in terms of the expected performance of the IT System. Entrusting support services to an MSP also addresses concerns of attritions and continued availability of adequate skills set.
- What are the risks involved in outsourcing IT support management to an MSP?
Business information and organisation data face security risks from various factors both from internal and external environments. Whether the IT services are managed by their own personnel or outsourced, it depends on the security risks mitigation awareness and professionalism of those who are having the ownership. Security risks also could be a result of organisation strategy, policies to the employees, and their usage practices.
Soffit, with its managed services, designed with due consideration of such security concerns, helps take care of threats internally from employees, guests as well as from external parties like vendors, Service Providers, and business partners. Soffit assists to devise strategies and policies along with the implementation of security measures apt and suitable to the business establishments.
