MSP is an abbreviation that stands for Managed Service Provider, which is a third-party that remotely manages a customer’s information technology (IT) infrastructure and end-user system. This usually includes:
- Managing IT infrastructure
- Adding and managing cybersecurity
- Offering technical support to staff
- Managing user access accounts on clients’ systems
- Offering fully managed hardware solutions
In a nutshell an MSP is your ‘outsourced IT Dept’ that provides proactive IT support.
Part of the MSP contract includes a Service Level Agreement or an SLA. Having an SLA in place for businesses is crucial so that you know what to expect when you have a support request. The SLA clarifies things like:
- Responsiveness of the service: Details of how quickly the service will be delivered. How long you can expect to wait for support, for both the initial response and the onsite time.
- How to contact us.
- Service description.
- Quality of service.
