What are Managed Services?
Managed Services are a specific type of IT services that are provided in a structured manner and come with a predictable cost. With a remote monitoring and management (RMM) system to deliver these services, we continuously monitor the well-being and performance of your IT assets. With RMM, we can proactively conduct maintenance tasks to ensure the stability of your IT infrastructure, swiftly addressing any issues remotely when they arise. This approach allows us to efficiently stabilize your IT environment and provide rapid remote remediation when necessary.
Business with Managed Services
Unexpected downtime caused by factors like viruses or technical failures is an important business consideration. Running a business without managed services can lead to a reactive approach, increased expenses, and uncertain outcomes. A study conducted by Gartner revealed that unmanaged desktops cost businesses an average of $4,000 per year. This cost includes emergency services, lost productivity, and missed opportunities.
Furthermore, the total cost of ownership (TCO) for unmanaged PCs is typically 42% higher than that of managed PCs, while unmanaged laptops incur a 29% higher TCO. These statistics emphasize the financial burden and inefficiencies that come with relying on reactive measures instead of implementing managed services.

The Do-IT-Yourself Scenario
- An IT issue arises.
- The problem is identified.
- A team member diverts attention from core business tasks and starts investigating and researching the problem.
- In the best-case scenario, the problem is accurately diagnosed and promptly resolved on the first attempt.
- In the worst-case scenario, multiple attempts are required for diagnosis and resolution, potentially leading to the inadvertent aggravation of the problem and may necessitate the ordering of parts or external services.
- Eventually, the problem is successfully resolved.
Results
In the best-case scenario, when an issue arises, one or more resources are diverted from core business activities to diagnose and resolve the problem, leading to a loss of productivity. However, if the situation unfolds less favorably, a considerable amount of additional time is needed to address the issue, resulting in further productivity losses for core business activities. In the worst-case scenario, this can lead to unexpected expenses, including the costs associated with downtime, such as reduced productivity and missed opportunities. It is crucial to address issues promptly and efficiently to minimize the impact on productivity and avoid any unforeseen financial burdens.
