Managed Services
What is Managed Services?
The scope of service we provide varies according to your needs and can involve simple system upgrades to full network management and support for a pre-established monthly fee. The key element is that it is preventive and proactive not reactionary.
“Among current users of managed services, 46% of firms have trimmed their annual IT expenditures by 25% or more as a result of their shift to managed services, including 13% that have slashed annual IT expenditures by 50% or more on the IT functions they have given over to an MSP.”

From Reactive – to – Proactive
Many businesses today continue to use the reactive model and handle IT issues as they arise. Below is a comparison of the reactive vs. proactive approach. It’s easy to see the benefits of becoming proactive!
Managed Services is the practice of outsourcing day-to-day IT management responsibilities and functions as a strategic method for improving operations and cutting expenses. In IT, this relates to the daily administration and management of all servers, workstations, and other devices (along with the network in general). It also allows for project planning such as regular maintenance, upgrades, new technology roll-outs, and expansion.
We started building our Managed Services offering in 2004. Back then, Managed Services was in its infancy, but we saw the potential to be able serve our customers even better. To be proactive instead of reactive. To get alerts and resolve potential issues before the customer was even aware there was a problem. So we branded our offerings Premium Support Select.
Benefits of Managed Services
There are many pragmatic benefits to a U.S. based IT managed services team. Our Premium Support Select managed services can save you thousands in comparison to a conventional TM (time and materials) billing structure.
IT service expenses can be better budgeted for. Premium Support Select is built on a reoccurring monthly model, which allows companies to better plan budgets and resources. There are no more surprise invoices because a server crashed or new systems needed to be deployed. Except for special projects, everything’s covered. Full time IT employees are expensive. Salaries, training, and turnover make it seem as though there is a revolving door where employees hired, trained, gain experience, and then are on to the next higher-paying job. Our Premium Support Select managed services allows you to focus human resources where they pertain to the core business.
Let the experts handle your pain points. Our U.S. based support team is truly experts in the field of technology with experience in all aspects of design, support, administration and customer service.
IT related responsibilities and activities can be delegated. This relieves the client from having to worry about not only the mundane tasks of keeping inventory, patching systems, etc., but also the more critical issues of server support, network performance problems, and keeping the technology up to date.
Companies can stay focused on their core business, and not be distracted by the complexities of their IT environment. This also increases the efficiency of the business which in turn makes them more profitable.
