The complexity of IT environments is steadily increasing. The causes are the rapid technological progress in the entire IT sector and the rising number of applications and company-specific solutions. As a result, there is a desired effect in an increase in productivity and the increased efficiency of IT workstations.

The introduction of new technologies places increased demands in the associated services and implicitly to the overarching management of office infrastructure. Among the many challenges for companies mainly include:

  • The variety of technologies and services
  • Flexible service concepts for increasingly mobile users
  • High safety standards on the one hand and sufficient flexibility on the other hand
  • Rising administrative expenses due to lack of standardization of services

The environment simultaneously decreases the useful life of hardware components, while the scope of the software applications themselves is spreading ever more widely. The consequence – new hardware and applications must be integrated – often due of acquisitions and incorporations of new operating units.

IT managers under these conditions must balance between the real cost transparency and efficiency, create supply-demand balance and ensure user satisfaction. Starting from this situation, there is a catalog of areas of action must be considered when designing and implementing a strategy for the office environment:

  • The entire IT should be aligning with core business and produce demonstrable benefits and competitive advantages.
  • The introduction of process standards and a clear IT Governance ensure flexibility on future requirements and changes.

The Ten Main Criteria When Choosing a Managed Services Provider

The IT function continues to question how to manage more demand for services among the increasing complexity, with limited resources and experience. The pressure on the IT continues while companies are faced with fixed budgets or increasing reduced and increase expectations of IT to create value and business innovation.

For this reason, organizations IT cannot do it alone. They are seeking trusted IT services to help them reduce the cost, manage complexity, ensure desired levels of availability, maintain frontline techniques and incorporate technological innovation.

The potential benefits of managed services are achieved only if a suitable supplier is chosen, who you can demonstrate the ability to provide knowledge, processes, and resources to overcome their internal capabilities. When evaluating providers of managed services, you can consider the following 10 criteria to make an informed decision.

Knowledge and Expertise

Any managed service provider should, at least, have the knowledge that goes beyond conventional management and operating system availability and maintenance. Check the level of knowledge related to management changes, virtualization, high availability, middleware and databases data, multiple network technologies, integration platform, mobility, security and, of course, cloud technologies.

Ask about scalability and availability of staff to establish specialized techniques, how to organize and share information with the best-approved practices. Similarly, a managed service provider should have extensive experience in all delivery models, including not only managed services and cloud but also conventional and IT strategic outsourcing. Thus, the provider can help customers achieve a structured multi-strategy (internal, managed services, outsourcing, and cloud) to meet the individual needs of the company.

Technology-based Approach

Find out if the service provider has a precautionary approach to the problem and the improvement plan. Look for a provider that goes beyond the little monitoring and management of the device. For example, the provider can use sophisticated technologies such as advanced analysis to boost the prevention of incidents through patterns analysis of failure on all platforms and processes, providing visibility within the areas for the client and improvement of the service provider.

The provider should employ the sophisticated technology of secondary system in all managed services offered. It can provide capabilities such as the complex mechanisms of alert, classification and prioritization of tasks, and scaling and repair incidents. Find out how much the service provider uses automation to reduce human intervention and improve quality and productivity.

Conform to Industry Best Practices

The key to a reliable IT infrastructure and high availability is to optimize IT management. A vendor service should employ industry best practices to manage their IT resources to adapt the management of IT services. They include problem management, incident cases, change, configuration, inventory, capacity and performance and creating reports. They are also critical areas to investigate best practices make the transition from an internal management system to the provider.

Consolidated Service Visibility

Your provider services must be willing to share examples of policies and process documentation and explain how it played through multiple delivery centers. A service provider should have a knowledge management system that allows the personal access to historical information problems and solutions from anywhere.

It is also important, the means by which the service provider provides visibility into the strength of its infrastructure and the operation of its managed services. Look for a secure web-based portal that consolidates related services within a single panel with real-time service visibility and online tools to manage services.

Support Multi-environments

Current infrastructures are traditionally heterogeneous environments comprising products network, hardware, and software provided by a variety of distributors. A service provider should have a minimum proven experience in multi-environments and especially collaborate with distributors leaders to ensure availability and updated visibility into product development routes and new technologies. A right service provider should play a professional trusted advisor role, helping you choose technologies that would best suit your business.

Providing Consistent Services

Choose a managed services provider with a worldwide capacity that can help to position companies of all sizes to grow and expand in today’s global economy. Global delivery capabilities offer many advantages, including a rapid deployment in new locations, the ability to effectively manage client projects covering operations in many countries, local language support to subsidiaries or branches, and location of resources and data within the country to address legal requirements and regulatory requirements. Check if the service provider has standard delivery processes in all places and how they organize and communicate teams among them.

Performance Based Service Level Agreements

A significant advantage of the managed services is that the responsibility lies with the supplier performance services. Your priority should be on what the service provider provides more than how the service is provided, which allows the supplier to innovate, improve service delivery and reduce costs.

In turn, the service provider should be willing to commit contractually to meet their needs regarding service and support these commitments to economic sanctions or other compensation if these service level agreements are not maintained.

Comprehensive Portfolio of Managed Services

Since the needs of your business and IT are in continuous change, you need the flexibility to add managed services without unnecessarily increasing costs and complexity. Many organizations have realized that fragmentation services, using numerous managed services can be quite complicated and expensive.

To ensure flexibility in the future, make sure any potential supplier offers a complete managed solution services, from infrastructure management to the managed security, resilience, mobility and other IT services for managed hosting and cloud. Moreover, look for a provider that offers you flexibility such as to enable it to retain its current equipment and even their current processes.

Technology Foresight

With the increasingly frequent strategic partnerships, is essential to consider the impact that relations procurement can have, not only in the business results but also in the primary business model and corporate culture of the company. If innovation and transformation are essential elements in its strategy of activities, what can make a Managed Services supplier?

Do they have the knowledge or exclusive experiences that bring clarity to the future technological or market changes? What competitive advantages could the provider bring? How it can help the experience, assets and coverage provider and network of partners to develop new business models or grow into new markets?

Reputation and Financial Stability

Whether you are thinking short term as first steps into managed services or if you are looking long-term strategic relationship, prospecting of financial stability is with the provider is critical. It is worth to consider the experience; services offered, and opinions provided by analysts and specialized in IT and business press.

The Four Steps to Succeed in Your IT Systems Management

Organizations that are large or small, public or private, local or international, facing unprecedented challenges to support critical business initiatives in the dynamic business environment. Users are now scattered in many places; they bring their own mobile devices to work and expect IT to deliver fast and efficient services as well as support for those systems.

It is now possible that organizations achieve IT effectiveness without cutting the service levels by the adoption of a System Management strategy. DedicatedSolutions provides you with the best-dedicated server hardware in our multiple data centers across the globe.

If you have not decided yet how to build your Infrastructure, the below four steps can help companies improve the efficiency of the different processes of production, sales and administration; reduce costs and increase their competitiveness through the use of our managed services, information and communication technologies.

Know Your Infrastructure

See your network from a whole new perspective of the strategy of IT systems management of an organization depends on the discovery process. Managers must know what components are on the network, how assets are performing, who is not in compliance with IT policies and what to do to comply again. Unfortunately, the inventory lists do not always agree with reality and systems often fall into oblivion.

DedicatedSolutions provides visibility to all IT environment assets to collect and update management data automatically in real time. Although new assets enter the environment through acquisitions, lifecycles of IT, mobile workers or policies and other can be managed by our custom solutions.

On the other hand, whether you remain connected or not, DedicatedSolutions predefined applied policies on the new system stores the information in a central repository that can be used to provide proactive maintenance, providing solution and produce reports and alerts on any changes for administrators.

Manage Your IT Environment More Efficiently

Today, most organizations require operations around the clock, seven days a week, but traditionally, the management of IT systems has become a decentralized manner with product manuals in multiple processor points that are far from providing general availability. Administrators can perform maintenance and typically keep the systems in operation, but the work is hardly consistent between systems and usually is not documented and is performed manually.

DedicatedSolutions provides a unique framework where you can perform administration tasks remotely from anywhere consistently. Administrators can handle groups of machines by type, operating system, platform, department, geographical location or virtually any other distinguishing characteristic.

Combined with visibility into all IT assets and behavior systems, this accessibility allows policies based management systems. Administrators can set, monitor and update policies from a central console and leave them to machines distributed in the environment. Systems can fit in multiple groups and meet with various policies. It creates a focus on system management, which enables organizations to maintain a consistently healthy IT environment and with minimal impact on users.

Automating the Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Many organizations already have some automation in their IT environments, usually in the form of monitoring and alerting. Usually, when there is an issue with any system components in the infrastructure, a flurry of emails sent to the IT team. However, you and an administrator cannot manually create a ticket and solve a problem. Regular maintenance is also done in much the same way – task by task, machine by machine.

The custom solutions and managed services of DedicatedSolutions can automate IT tasks that are recurrent such as patch management, the operation of software and implementing solutions and analysis of the cause. Our 24*7 Help Desk provides relevant performance information to managers as they are working on solving a problem and can even solve problems automatically without manual intervention.

The result is that management of IT is possible using a minimum amount of resources. Simultaneously, automation allows regular maintenance of organizations tasks to improve IT service levels, expand capacity and meet needs of new business initiatives while reducing costs.

Tangible Results Monitors

IT services that are providing management of IT tasks are one of the most important functions, but it is also inconsistent and consumes a significant quantity of time. Rather than being viewed as a cost center, IT needs to show the contributions they are making to business and the value of supporting business goals and initiatives.

DedicatedSolutions provides the platform to collect data relevant from distributed systems management, store the information in a central repository and report them to the concerned person. Because different audiences require various levels of technical detail, customizable reports of DedicatedSolutions ranging from executive summaries to snapshots system and detailed historical reports. And because data have already been collected in real time and have managed centrally, time to compiling reports is minimal.

An Integrated Platform

DedicatedSolutions gives IT organizations the visibility and control they need to manage effective and efficient distributed systems. Automation streamlines maintenance and troubleshooting to improve user productivity without increasing IT costs. Administrators can then leverage the visibility and control to validate the results, and the management can take advantage of the information to make accurate decisions. Our integrated platform consolidates all aspects of apparatus under a single administrative panel, standardizing maintenance, monitoring and troubleshooting across the organization.
