Managed IT support services must not be confused with outsourcing. While outsourced services deliver short-term solutions, Managed IT Solutions provide the long-term IT needs of a company. This includes managing the day-to-day operations, network monitoring, backup and recovery, enhanced IT posture, core business focus, operating end-user operations, better security, technology expertise, managing the overall IT infrastructure, managing and running specific services and applications, etc. Managed IT Services enable a smoother functioning of the overall IT systems rather than just looking at facilitating short-term needs.
