Managed Services stories - Page 21
Organisations keen on quality IT service delivery but lacking or not wishing to invest in the necessary
expertise often outsource this specialised field to an expert which provides the technology, guidance
and recommendations, support and maintenance required. This is a Managed Services engagement,
with the vendor known as Managed Services Provider or MSP. In the Managed Services model, a subscription is usually paid making the service fixed cost, distinct from the break/fix model where the
service provider bills only for work done. The MSP model incentivizes preventative maintenance and is
especially popular for mid-sized organisations.
