What Do Managed Services Really Mean (And Why Is Everyone Talking About Them)?

The term “managed services” has been thrown around a lot lately—but what does it actually mean? Has it become a loose, all-encompassing phrase? The answer can vary depending on who you ask. In reality, managed services are far more comprehensive and strategic than most people realize.

Why Businesses Need Managed Services

No matter what kind of business you run - whether you bake cakes, manufacture aircraft, or make soap - your technology needs are unique. You need systems that help suppliers, employees, and customers communicate efficiently. You need to protect your proprietary information. You may also rely on e-commerce to reach your customers.

Traditionally, businesses hired in-house IT staff to build, manage, and maintain these systems. But as technology has become more advanced and expensive, managing everything in-house has become increasingly difficult and costly.

What if you didn’t have to manage all of this yourself? What if someone else - or the technology itself - could take care of it, so you could focus on running your business?

That’s where Managed Service Providers (MSPs) come in.

What Does an MSP Do?

An MSP manages your technology and communication needs for a fixed monthly fee. These may include:

A service provider, such as your telecommunications company

A system integrator, such as the IT firm that developed your business solutions

A value-added reseller that sells and now manages your technology systems

Your managed solutions may include:

Network and communication services (LAN/WAN infrastructure management)

Compute-based services (desktop or enterprise computing)

Application-based services (user or enterprise software, and business processes)

How MSPs Work

MSPs employ highly skilled experts who remotely monitor and manage your systems from a Network Operations Center (NOC). From there, they can perform troubleshooting, updates, upgrades, and configuration changes—often before you even know there’s a problem.

You can choose the level of service that suits your needs and budget.

Managed services aren’t just another buzzword; they’re a smarter and more efficient way to manage business technology. Whether you choose a hybrid model or a fully cloud-based solution, partnering with an MSP allows you to focus on what matters most: running and growing your business.

And that’s what managed services are really all about.
