IT Managed Services: What It Is and How to Choose the Right Provider
Just about every modern business has ongoing IT tasks that need to be managed on a regular basis. There's equipment that needs to be kept up and running, cybersecurity measures that need to be in place and applications that need to be hosted and monitored just to name a few. Not every business has the resources to effectively manage those tasks in-house. That's where outsourcing IT and utilizing a third party can come in to help.
What is Managed Services Managed IT Services in Malaysia is when a company outsources certain IT functions to a third-party provider, referred to as a Managed Service Provider or MSP.

The goal is to either serve as an IT team for a company that has little or no internal capabilities or to support an experienced IT team by taking some of the day-to-day tasks off their plate.
History of Managed Services In the 1990s networks were fairly simple systems. Since there wasn't a lot of dedicated staff in the IT department, the teams typically didn't do anything for general maintenance if their machines were malfunctioning or slowing down--only if they stopped working. Once they broke, the technology team would fix them, which became known as the break/fix method. This mentality cost companies a lot of lost revenue thanks to downtime and loss of data and productivity. After a while some of the biggest Fortune 500 companies recognized the negative impact this mentality was having on their business. They began to work with IT service providers to proactively diagnose and correct problems before they caused an issue for the company.

Technology Growth Technology in the workplace is changing rapidly and getting more complex every year. One great example is the number of devices employees depend on. Just 20 years ago, most employees only had access to work technology while they were at work. Today, it's likely employees are accessing company information in the office, on a work laptop at home, on a tablet and even on their personal phone--and some of those devices are being used without the IT department even knowing they're in use. The IT team often has to come up with ways to support all of those devices and use cases while also keeping company data secure. That's just one example of how day-to-day IT work can quickly balloon in order to keep pace with the way workplaces use technology.
