Managed Services

Global economy is constantly evolving and businesses need innovative ways to boost efficiency and lower costs. Engineers and administrators are hired to provide value to an organization, but what if most of their time is spent fighting fires? How does this align with their intended value? What if there was a way to save money, reduce overhead, and increase productivity?

Imagine having 20 staff members magically freed up to work on your business priorities in 30 days. That’s 3,200 hours per month returned to your business, for the price of a handful of employees. Whether through automation, AI incorporation, or continuous improvement projects, these critical components often fall by the wayside as core teams spend most of their time fixing, fine-tuning, patching, monitoring, administering, and maintaining an environment that should be working for them. It’s time to work smarter, not harder, and find a Managed Services Provider (MSP).

What are Managed Services?

By trusting a partner to maintain, advise, and guide the back-end details of your enterprise service management (ESM) tool – whether it be for IT service management (ITSM), human resources, finance, or another specialized use case – it empowers your core teams to focus on what matters most for your business. No more worrying about dotting i’s and crossing t’s, your management partner’s got your back.

In traditional third-party support models, a partner is only called in to fix something once an organization detects a problem. For example, Company A experiences a sudden period of downtime and calls a third-party IT service provider to diagnose and resolve the issue. The IT service provider only supports Company A when directly asked for help. This is reactive approach to ESM referred to as the break/fix model, or on-demand outsourcing.

Had Company A instead utilized managed services to support their ESM, their MSP could have proactively detected and resolved the issue to minimize, or even fully prevent the outage.

5 Key Benefits of Managed Services of Enterprise Service Management

Proactive Monitoring - With an MSP managing your ESM platform, their hands-on exposure and industry experience enable them to detect hidden threats that would have otherwise been missed and require a Break/Fix response with a third-party.

Service Level Agreements (SLA) - Go beyond just Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and take advantage of partnership agreements that ensure both the services required and the expected level of service are met.

Minimize Downtime - When the team managing your ESM is also the team resolving any issues, businesses benefit from a faster time-to-resolution than alternative third-party resolution methods like Break/Fix or On-Demand Outsourcing.

Reliable and Consistent Pricing - Most MSPs offer their services through a yearly subscription-based model. With an agreed-upon regular payment, there are no hidden fees or spikes in billing when an incident occurs.

Strategic Growth Enablement - Trusted MSPs like FMX Solutions bring their expert consultants to ensure your ESM is up-to-date on software features and best practices. FMX also provides guidance and strategic planning aligned with your specific IT systems and goals.
