ARE CLOUD MANAGED
SERVICE PROVIDERS A MYTH?
Are Cloud Managed Service Providers a Myth?
Cloud Managed services have grown in popularity ever since cloud technology
became an acceptable phenomenon. However, the “ifs” and “buts” still raise a
lot of questions.
In this blog post, we have debunked some of the common myths about managed
cloud services.
Costing: It's often said, that when something is outsourced, it has to be
expensive. But when it comes to Cloud Managed Services, your service providers
can help you save 60-70% of your IT spending. Everything is managed for you,
so you don’t really need a full time resource to help you manage your IT
infrastructure any more.
Support Services: There is no doubt that hourly support often leads to cycles or
even months at very little or no IT cost. However, if you don’t proactively
manage your technology systems, the costs associated with fixing it are much
higher. Downtime is also much more likely and much harder to control, which
can have catastrophic business results, such as lost profit or business.
Skill Set: Today with the cloud taking the technology world by storm, it’s
becoming very difficult to choose a service provider that meets your business
needs and is on top of their game. So it’s critical to ensure your service provider
has the skills that are required to support your systems. Managed services
providers like Sysfore ensure that our experts maintain current qualifications
and certifications.
All Cloud Managed Services are the same: Managed cloud as a service has been
taking off recently and it would be wrong to look at a company that has recently
started learning about what it takes to deliver managed services and one that
has years of experience with countless clients the same way.
24x7x365?: Different managed service providers vary in how they structure
their support schedules. But many managed service providers in the cloud offer
24/7 remote monitoring and management of systems. As for business-hour
support, a managed service provider would be able to provide you with a
dedicated help desk staff that can be ready to work on your issues as they come
up.
Cloud managed services is for remote support and not on site problems: Like
we mentioned earlier, there are way too many cloud managed services
providers taking over the technology world. So whether you need remote
support or support for on-site problems, it varies from partner to partner. At
Sysfore, our technicians are available for remote and on-site support when
needed. So you don’t have to worry that any problem that would require on
site assistance will not be able to be taken care of.
Outsourcing means security breach: While it is true that you give up a certain
level of control, many cloud managed service providers have the ability to
provide a significantly higher level of security over in-house alternatives.
Keeping up with the ever-evolving security and risk landscape is not an easy
thing to accomplish. A managed service provider like Sysfore has security
credentials and experience in securing client systems. We are well aware of all
the security protocols to help protect your systems.
