Managed Services for Network Management – StableNet® as a Service

July 26th 2024, Würzburg

What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?

A managed service provider (MSP) is generally defined as an IT service provider that provides a range of defined services to a company or an organization. These areas of responsibility and services can vary broadly from provider to provider. Some focus on specialized tasks such as IT security, while others offer overall IT infrastructure management.

The services offered by an MSP can include for example monitoring, security management, vulnerability management, administration of cloud services, backup & restore or remote port provisioning. In most cases, this does not mean outsourcing your entire IT department, but rather having smaller to larger sub-areas managed.

How do I know if I need a managed service provider?

The demand for managed services depends entirely on your needs and requirements and how your company is currently organized. The fundamental question that companies need to ask themselves is whether all or only some of their IT needs should be outsourced or whether the tasks and services should be managed in-house.

When comparing managed services with an in-house IT department, profitability often plays a key role. Covering all IT tasks internally requires not only the necessary technology and infrastructure, but also a comprehensive number of trained specialists who can cover the need for a wide range of expertise.

For small and medium-sized companies in particular, the answer is often to outsource several or individual areas in order to reduce overall costs and compensate for a lack of expertise. Managed service providers offer the necessary expertise, manpower and experience in a predefined service model so that the costs can be clearly calculated.
