Frequently Asked Questions

What are managed IT services, and why do businesses need them? 

Many people are used to the idea of break/fix IT. Managed IT services are more proactive, comprehensive, scalable, and cost efficient. With managed IT services, your company outsources key management capabilities including those related to networking and security. Typically, a managed service provider manages and monitors your technical assets, keeping your infrastructure up to date with patching, operating system updates, and protective anti-virus software. Your servers and network health are monitored 24/7, and if a problem is detected, the MSP will notify you about it and resolve the issue based on your preferred response time. 

How do managed IT services reduce business downtime and increase productivity? 

Managed IT services reduce downtime and optimize productivity by providing proactive monitoring to prevent issues and 24/7 support to resolve any security or equipment problems that might come up quickly and effectively before they can interrupt business continuity, helping your business stay productive and resilient.

How can managed IT services improve security and compliance? 

Managed IT services provide continuous security monitoring and updates to proactively address potential threats and help you stay compliant with regulations. Managed services for the network can include identity and access control measures, as well as the monitoring and reporting needed to maintain compliance and successfully complete audits.

What industries benefit most from managed IT services? 

Most key industries benefit from managed IT services. However, the industries that benefit most are those that face the toughest security and compliance challenges. Companies in heavily regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, and government, benefit from the network security expertise managed IT services can provide. The manufacturing and educational industries benefit from connectivity services that enable employees at dispersed workplaces and students engaging in remote learning to share information.

How do I choose the right managed IT service provider for my business?

When looking for a managed IT service provider, look for one that has experience working with companies like yours. You might want to check out any success stories and certifications that could serve as proof of trust. You want a service provider that understands your challenges and has the expertise needed to meet them. The managed services they provide should also be able to scale with the growth of your business. 

How is a managed service provider different from an hourly services provider?

When you pay a technician an hourly fee to fix a problem, upgrade your systems, or manage a project, you get exactly what you pay for: a one-time visit and a one-time solution. With managed services, you get more value from your investment. We offer our Managed IT Services at a monthly all-in-one cost that is based on your number of users and includes Managed Network and Security Services. Our fixed monthly fees for NSI ADVANCE managed services simplify budgeting and eliminate surprise IT expenses. You can adjust services and costs as your business needs evolve.
