Why Office 365 Managed Services
- Access to expertise. Even with a well-trained IT team of your own, the odds are that it doesn’t have a dedicated expert who specializes in support and maintenance of the Office 365 environment.
- Cost-effectiveness. You don’t need to hire full-time dedicated professionals, as you can use qualified expertise only when you need it and pay only for this period. Besides, managed services specialists act pro-actively towards your Office 365 environment, which reduces lost revenue caused by downtime and expenses on remediating critical technology issues.
- Improved efficiency of an IT team. If you turn to a managed services provider for handling daily maintenance of your Office 365 environment, the in-house IT team will be able to focus on the technological support of the core business activities, which will increase your enterprise’s productivity.
- Timely updates. Microsoft releases updates on a regular basis and they come to the cloud first. Office 365 managed services will keep your enterprise in tune with the times.
- Security and compliance support. Managed services provide 24/7 security monitoring of Office 365. Managed services specialists follow changes in federal and state compliance regulations like GLBA, SOX, and HIPAA. They adjust your Office 365 environment to new requirements ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Retained business continuity. Office 365 managed services ensure high availability to end users and continuous performance without disruption, which supports efficiency and stability of business processes that are dependent on technology (collaboration, workflows, etc.).
