    The importance of metrics and standards cannot be overstated. It is also critical to specify specific procedures and compensation in the event that the vendor fails to meet the service level agreement standards.

    Fremont, CA: Managed service providers (MSPs) contract or subscribe to a wide range of IT and cloud computing services. Today's top managed services typically provide work via the cloud, managing software, hardware, and operations. They handle hybrid cloud, multicolored, private cloud, and data center deployments – often in tandem.

    In some cases, an MSP can help you save money on cloud computing. They routinely manage IT tasks such as upgrades, updates, and security issues.

    Managed service providers are becoming increasingly important because they allow businesses to focus on their core competencies by handling the difficult cloud and IT management chores. Having the right MSP can be critical to business success in a tech landscape that is only becoming more complex.

    Although most MSPs manage a wide range of services, some MSPs specialize in critical emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, and even edge computing. This niche focus enables MSPs to provide expert services management in areas where companies may struggle to recruit and retain sufficient talent.

    Here are a few factors to consider when selecting a managed service provider:

    • Offloading Tasks: Offloading rote tasks and time-consuming processes is part of the appeal of an IT services firm or MSP. This assists an organization in transitioning from tactical tasks — also known as "keeping the lights on" — to more strategic endeavors. As a result, it's critical to ask vendors how they can assist your company in becoming more strategic — and to understand how they intend to do so.
    • Thought Leadership: These firms typically provide thought leadership as well as labs and innovation centers, which enable a company to gain access to expertise and resources that would otherwise be unavailable. This could include understanding the Internet of Things (IoT) systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, robotics, and a more integrated digital framework that supports innovation and change. If your company wants to fully leverage the power of digital technology, it is critical to understand how a services firm can help you along the way.
    • Metrics: The importance of metrics and standards cannot be overstated. It is also critical to specify specific procedures and compensation in the event that the vendor fails to meet the service level agreement standards. Before signing on the dotted line, make sure you understand all of the criteria and compensation.
    • The Right Model: It is critical that your company's business and IT requirements align with the vendor's product offerings and business process model. As a result, a company must catalog and map its internal systems and thoroughly understand workflows, business processes, objectives, and gaps. A thorough understanding of your organization's requirements allows you to find an IT services firm or managed service provider (MSP) that can simplify and streamline existing processes and unleash innovation.
