What is Managed IT Services?



Managed Services


Today's world has become increasingly reliant on a solid technological infrastructure, moving away from the days of the break/fix IT model to a predictable and operationally efficient method.


Within an IT managed services model, organizations contract with a dedicated third-party team of IT experts to monitor, fix, and update their technology on a regular basis. Rather than wait for crashes or problems to arise, managed IT services aim to keep your technology healthy while implementing IT solutions that serve your specific business needs.


As the sheer number of computing devices has increased over time, organizations have shifted gears from the reactive, time-consuming break/fix model in favor of the more proactive and flexible managed IT service model. With increasing demand, VoDaVi's Managed IT Services offerings have expanded to include a host of options, including monitoring and security management.


VoDaVi's Managed IT services aim to help your team leverage more complex technology, supplement or augment the work done by in-house IT teams and offer IT expertise where it might not otherwise be available. Costs for Managed IT Services are a flat monthly rate (or if paid in full/annually, additional discounts are offered) tailored to your company so that you only pay for the services and technology needed, whether it’s supplemental services or 24/7 dedicated IT support.

By taking advantage of managed IT services, your organization can protect itself with up-to-date security software and protocols, scaled to your business needs, without the hassle of being responsible for frequent tests and upgrades.

Additional Services - Cloud Services: Anything-as-a-Service/XaaS"


You likely have heard the term “cloud services” mentioned when speaking of managed IT services. While the two terms share similarities, there are certainly significant differences between how they operate and the results they produce for your organization.
