Managed Services
Managed services are services where an external service provider assumes responsibility for the planning, implementation and operation of certain IT or business processes or functions of a company. The service provider, often referred to as a Managed Service Provider (MSP), provides these services on the basis of a service contract that usually targets specific Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and performance indicators.
