With more companies going to the cloud, it’s important to understand the difference between cloud managed services and managed IT services.
While most business owners are familiar with the concept of managed IT services, many lack knowledge of managed cloud services.
What Are Cloud Managed Services?
Cloud-based tools like Microsoft 365 have become extremely popular among businesses of all sizes. Without the right amount of experience, managing your cloud infrastructure will be extremely difficult. Rather than allowing remote workers to suffer as a result of cloud resource mismanagement, you need to work with cloud managed services.
What is a cloud managed services provider? In short, a cloud managed services provider is in charge of configuring cybersecurity safeguards and setting up the cloud-based tools at your disposal.
If you are one of the millions of businesses using Microsoft 365, maximizing the return from this cloud-based investment should be a priority. You can do this with the help of the cloud managed services offered by Nortec.
With managed cloud services, you can get help with things like:
- Onboarding new employees to the Microsoft 365 system
- Training employees on how to use the tools in Microsoft 365
- Tech support for any cloud-based problems you encounter
Our goal is to help you properly utilize all of the tools available in Microsoft 365.
What Are Managed IT Services?
In short, a managed IT provider is a person or organization that you can outsource some or all of your technology management needs to.
Poorly planned and maintained IT infrastructure is not only cumbersome to use, it can also cost a business owner lots of money.
