We Take Care of Your Managed IT
Managed IT is the ongoing management and support provided by a specialised IT service provider. These managed IT service providers are third-party service providers who offer delivery and management of internal IT services for businesses, institutions and enterprises. The service provider might specialise in certain areas and processes, such as finance or small businesses, or they may offer complete end-to-end solutions.
Managed IT services are different to traditional department outsourcing arrangements, which focus on providing outsourced IT staff who can react when your business has an IT problem. A managed service will work to provide you with IT services consistent with a service level agreement, for a fixed, flat fee.
A managed IT service is like having your own IT director with an entire IT department at their disposal. They’ll oversee your day-to-day IT operations, and take proactive steps to manage the department in line with your business needs and goals. They can offer you specialised IT services that might normally be outside of your budget, at a fraction of the cost of an internal IT team.
With the growth of cloud-based services and technology, and work from home, the need for managed IT services has grown into a global industry. Whether you’re looking for managed IT services in Melbourne or looking for service providers to support your large, global organisation, there are managed services that offer a huge range of solutions and services.
Personalised IT management that supports your business goals
Service providers will develop an understanding of your business needs and goals, and agree to provide you with individualised and goal-directed IT services and management.
In addition to providing around-the-clock IT support, managed IT services will look for ways to improve your existing IT infrastructure and processes and implement solutions that improve the efficiency and operation of your IT department.
They do this by providing a range of services and solutions, such as
- Centralised, cloud-based IT service and support
- Overseeing the smooth delivery of your internal IT operations
- Ongoing evaluation and optimisation of existing hardware, software and processes
- Ensuring your IT department meets its risk and cybersecurity requirements
- Timely troubleshooting and repairs
Controlled and predictable IT costs
Managed IT services have low entry costs and steady monthly payments for their services. When you use managed IT services, they are responsible for keeping your IT department running smoothly and within budget, whilst also being strategic and proactive to avoid IT issues in the future.
Just like every in-house department within your business, you are able to set specific targets and goals for your managed IT services, which they are responsible for achieving. Managed services are able to offer all this, for a predictable monthly cost.
Scalability
As your business grows, managed services are able to scale with you. Scalability means that you can easily increase or decrease your managed services when you need to, helping you to control costs and better allocate your resources during lean times.
Managed IT vs Traditional Outsourcing
To understand what a managed IT service can do for you and your business, it’s essential to know how managed services are different from traditional outsourcing.
Traditional outsourcing
Traditional Outsourced services usually offer like-for-like replacement of your existing IT department for a lower cost than an in-house IT team. They typically provide reactive services (for example, providing support when software crashes), and charge for their services on a per-transaction basis.
Managed IT services
Managed IT service providers are able to offer IT service, maintenance, leadership and solutions at a cost that can be significantly less expensive than in-house IT departments.
Managed services differ from traditional outsourcing. Rather than taking your existing IT team and replacing them with cheaper equivalents, a managed IT service will analyse your existing IT equipment and systems, and look for ways to improve and optimise your existing IT infrastructure.
A managed IT service provider will charge for a particular outcome – usually, a consistent service level agreed to by you and the service provider. The cost for managed services is usually provided on an ongoing, subscription basis. This benefits your bottom line by providing your business with consistent IT service and support at a consistent cost.

Our Managed IT Support Maintains Your IT Infrastructure
Adopting 24/7 Managed IT Monitoring offers several advantages for businesses, though its necessity varies depending on the nature and scale of the business. Here are the key pros of having 24/7 IT support.
Continuous System Monitoring
With 24/7 monitoring, your IT infrastructure is constantly observed. This means any irregularities or potential issues can be detected immediately, often before they become significant problems.
Immediate Response to Issues
If a problem does arise, it can be addressed instantly, regardless of the time of day. This reduces downtime and ensures that your systems are running smoothly around the clock.
Enhanced Security
Cyber threats don’t adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule. 24/7 monitoring ensures that your network is always guarded against potential security breaches, providing continuous protection against cyberattacks, hacking attempts, and other security threats.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that expert technicians are always watching over your systems provides peace of mind. You can focus on your core business operations without worrying about IT issues.
Support for Global or Remote Teams
If your business operates globally or has remote teams working in different time zones, 24/7 support ensures that all employees have access to IT support whenever they need it.
Improved Customer Service
For businesses that operate online platforms or provide services outside of standard business hours, continuous IT support ensures that customer-facing systems are always operational, enhancing customer experience and satisfaction.
Proactive Problem Solving
Continuous monitoring allows for a proactive approach to IT management. Potential problems can be identified and resolved before they escalate, saving time and resources in the long run.
Compliance and Reporting
For businesses that need to adhere to specific compliance standards, 24/7 monitoring ensures that the IT infrastructure is always in line with these requirements. Continuous monitoring also facilitates accurate and timely reporting.
