MANAGED IT SUPPORT

Typically Managed IT Services are used by small and medium sized businesses who do not have their own IT department or want to add additional skills to their existing IT resource. By outsourcing support to a Managed Services Provider they gain in terms of both resource and expertise.

Support packages can vary but in most scenarios they will cover everything from end user devices (PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones etc.), all core network infrastructure (servers, switches, routers, UPSs, SANs etc.), any network related software (security, backup etc.) and will also cover proactive services, such as operating system patching, so that there is minimal involvement required from anyone else other than the Managed Service Provider.

Following a review of the UK market we found that the range of pricing from Managed Service providers was between around £300 and £800 per user, per year.

The difference in pricing between different providers can be attributed to the location of the provider (prices are higher in London, for example) and also the levels of service provided. Whilst Managed IT Support packages tend to cover the same core functions, there can be differences in the proactive elements which involve additional software (such as remote monitoring software) or pre-packaged labour time for proactive maintenance.
