Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are third-party companies that deliver ongoing IT support and management services to businesses, often through a subscription-based model.  

This typically involves:

  • Monitoring and maintaining IT infrastructure 
  • Providing cybersecurity solutions 
  • Managing cloud services and data backups 

Businesses rely on MSPs to handle their technology needs efficiently, enabling them to focus on core operations. MSPs help minimize downtime, mitigate security risks, and keep systems running smoothly. 

MSPs are essential because they provide small and large organizations with access to expert-level IT support at a predictable cost. By ensuring tech reliability and scalability, they contribute to improved productivity, stronger cybersecurity postures, and long-term business growth.
