Stop firefighting and start innovating 

 

Organisations generally agree that their IT infrastructure is the backbone of their business operations and processes. Today's IT infrastructures are more dynamic than before, and more complex to manage. New technologies come on the market offering new capabilities in response to changing requirements, like home and hybrid working patterns, and increasingly demanding data storage and analytics. In parallel, cyberthreats become more prevalent and sophisticated, while data protection and related regulations evolve. 

So your in-house IT teams are pulled in two directions. They want to evaluate new technologies and roll out new applications and services to help transform processes and support business growth. But they don't have enough time, as they're too caught up in the everyday tasks of hardware monitoring; software, hardware and security patches and updates; managing backups and user rights; and troubleshooting. 

It's why organisations are increasingly turning to managed service providers (MSPs) like Konica Minolta. Our teams use their expertise to take over day-to-day infrastructure management, providing a proactive service that maintains high levels of availability and security, and giving our customers' internal IT teams the time they need to focus on strategic developments. 

When you choose Konica Minolta for managed IT services, we start by carrying out a requirements analysis before implementing applications, server monitoring, security monitoring tools and remote control capabilities. We can take over your IT helpdesk, providing further relief from time-consuming tasks. In addition, we can guide and support you in the adoption of new technologies, such as cloud platform adoption to expand your data storage and processing capabilities, or enterprise-wide rollout of new applications and services.

1. What is a managed service provider?

A managed service provider (MSP) supports and administers IT services — such as network, application, infrastructure and security — at customers' premises, in their own or a third-party data centre, or in the cloud. Konica Minolta provides a range of managed IT services including managed backupmanaged securityremote monitoring and management, managed applications, cloud data centre services, and workplace IT management

2. Why outsource to a managed service provider?

Organisations choose managed services to relieve their in-house IT teams of the burden of everyday IT infrastructure management. Working with a provider like Konica Minolta, they will often benefit from enhanced infrastructure availability and performance, improved infrastructure security, or new approaches to IT infrastructure — while also freeing up their own IT teams to focus on more strategic activities. 

3. Why are managed IT services important?

Managed IT services are important because they help to increase the reliability and security of organisations' IT infrastructure. For the vast majority of organisations, IT infrastructure is core to their operations so keeping it running smoothly is a critical requirement. By outsourcing everyday management of their IT infrastructure to a professional provider like Konica Minolta, organisations know it's being monitored and maintained by experts, and can confidently focus on their core business.
