More and more companies have used in the past years the managed services approach as they have discovered that outsourcing the management, operations and process delivery to an external service provider leads to a minimized total cost of the business. The managed services approach is an attractive long-term strategy as the typical cost components of an IT department, including training, equipment and personnel are absorbed by the managed services provider and presented as a fixed monthly fee to the company.
Companies usually use the managed services approach to cut costs, but this approach is not only about cutting costs, but also about reaping other benefits, such as:
Reduced risk
Every investment a business makes comes with a risk. When approaching a managed services provider, they remove the risk from your company. They use their industry knowledge in areas such as compliance and security issues, therefore, government regulations, financial conditions and technologies upgrades are no longer your problem.
24/7 Support
With a managed services provider, support is always available. With a managed services provider, help is always there – days, nights, weekends or holidays – to support users. A managed service approach to application development and maintenance seems like a win-win for outsourcing customers and providers.
Experts and latest technologies access
You have the possibility to access the latest technologies and benefit from the support of experts, while you run your business. A specialized software development company comes with years of experience from the beginning, a dynamic tech team and cutting-edge technologies that will help you implement and deploy right away, saving your company time and resources.
Focus on core competencies
The software development team will take care of providing you with the best technical solutions, while you will continue to focus on your core business activities. You don’t need to struggle with technology issues, day to day requirements and personnel, instead you can manage and expand your business while your development partner is in charge with delivering the best technical solutions.
No unpredictable costs
IT investments are always accompanied by peripheral costs. Companies need different systems, networks and storage options available. Also, the staff training as well as the management of the systems and of the existing equipment leads to unexpected costs. When all the IT operations are outsourced to a managed service provider, companies know from the beginning the costs they should expect on a monthly basis.
Conclusion
Human resources, infrastructure, software licensing represent huge operational costs for software companies. Outsourcing can save both money and also reduce the risks associated with having an IT support team in-house. Also, using a managed service approach can help your company benefit from the experience and the technological skills of your provider’s team.
