Why move to a Managed Service Agreement?

IT has evolved

IT has and continues to evolve at a rapid rate, especially within the recruitment sector. Covid has accelerated the need for remote working, but also focused Directors and Managers on how their systems work and how they are supported.

Over 67% of recruitment firms still have legacy systems running, some all on premise and some split between the cloud and on-premise infrastructures.

All of these challenges have meant that more time and resource is spent on resolving daily support issues and without a clear plan in place to migrate to the cloud.

Managed Service or Standard Support?
 
‘Managed Services’ are different from standard support agreements. They provide complete management of all your current support plans, but also provide the management of third-party systems such as your Database solutions, phone systems, API’s and other service provisions. 

Under a Managed Service agreement, we take responsibility for every service ticket raised ensuring that providers are working to the correct SLAs from the initial reporting through to resolution.
