What are Managed IT Services?

Managed IT services allow businesses to outsource IT responsibilities to a vendor on a contract or subscription basis. These services can be used to alleviate the workload of in-house teams, augment teams who are unable to fulfil IT demand or replace in-house teams.

Managed service providers (MSPs) come into play here. MSPs can be important in ensuring that IT activities are covered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can add specialist knowledge or skills that would not otherwise be accessible.

They support businesses in offloading a significant portion of the day-to-day maintenance and management of infrastructure and digital services.

Examples of managed IT services include:

• Managed IT Desktop Services
• Managed Print Services
• Managed Document Services
• Managed Security Services
• Managed Network Support

How Can These Managed IT Services Help Your Business?

   Managed print services and managed document services, like your business, are always developing to help organizations handle today's and tomorrow's information challenges.

   By using the numerous advantages of managed document services, your company will be able to cut expenses, boost information security, free up time, and avoid the headache of chasing down information.

4. Managed Security Services

   

   More businesses are turning to managed security services to gain security expertise while reducing the strain of their in-house security team.

   RICOH provides a wide range of security services, from comprehensive outsourcing of security programs to specialized services that focus on a single component of company security (such as threat monitoring, data protection, management of network security tools, regulatory compliance, or incident response and forensics).

   Outsourcing security allows firms to save money by reducing the need to retain a fully staffed, full-time, on-site IT security department.

5. Managed Network Support

   The Managed network services provided by RICOH span from fundamental network access and transport services such as classic leased WAN and LAN lines to newer software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) connections and virtual network services.

   Aside from network access and transport services, a wide range of managed services are provided, including WAN optimization, unified messaging, network management, managed security firewalls, and virtual private networks (VPNs).

   Companies can use our managed network support to free up their existing IT employees to focus on other duties. This improves operational efficiency since MSPs can monitor and troubleshoot required services.

   We are able to avoid IT problems from impacting corporate operations because we adopt a proactive network management approach.

All In All

Managed IT services are a fantastic alternative for companies that want to grow but lack the resources to manage the necessary infrastructure, or who simply want to focus on improving company strategy rather than battling fires in their systems.

Managed IT service providers, such as RICOH, can help you decrease in-house expenses, boost IT efficiency, and improve uptime management. By implementing data protection and privacy standards, we also assure compliance with national and international regulatory authorities.
