Managed IT service providers or internal hires: pros and cons

The choice between opting for a managed IT service provider and relying on internal hires is vital to ensure your business benefits from crucial information technology security services in a timely, effective, and agile way.

From cyber security to software asset management, there are countless IT services that businesses must account for.

A managed IT service provider would provide an organisation with all the IT services they require for operational efficiency and robust approaches to security. For example, we provide:

• Tech consulting including transformation strategies for business-critical systems

• Cyber security services such as exposure management, cyber security consultancy, and incident response and detection

• Data security services such as fully managed backup and back up as service

• Software services such as software licensing and software asset management

• Cloud optimisation and data centre optimisation solutions

If an organisation decided not to opt for managed IT services, they would need to rely on internal teams to carry out these crucial services to protect their business and help teams embrace technology that unlocks better ways of working. This is challenging as internal teams often don’t have the resources or skills to carry out all necessary operations- plus hiring and maintaining large internal teams has high costs associated.
