What is a Managed Service Provider?
A managed service provider (MSP) is a technology company that manages IT services for other companies. This often includes managing and monitoring an organization’s IT infrastructure and end-user systems. Many organizations are turning to managed services for the many benefits that it provides.
1. Focus on Your Business
By allowing a managed service provider to maintain and monitor your technology, you have more time to focus on your business goals and initiatives.
2. Predictable Costs
Planning a budget for technology costs can be difficult because unexpected costs can quickly add up. Managed services offers you predictable monthly costs that you can count on.

With managed services, you have the peace of mind that your IT environment is secure. Companies like Riverside Technologies, Inc. (RTI) are proactive and preventative.

Hiring, training, and maintaining an IT staff can be expensive and time-consuming. Managed services gives you access to an experienced IT staff with a variety of certifications without the cost of full-time employees.
5. Reduced Risk
Security breaches can cause a lot of damage to organizations, plus technology and government regulations change at a rapid pace. With industry knowledge about compliance and security, managed service providers can help by managing a lot of this risk for you.
6. Decreased Device Downtime
Many managed service providers are proactive, so they identify and solve potential issues before they cause significant downtime.

I like your point about how IT services can reduce security risks. I have had my computer freeze up at work due to viruses before. Having someone that can prevent that would no doubt save a company time and money.
