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.
