Leverage Microsoft 365 Managed Services to Keep Up
Deploying Microsoft 365 platforms like Microsoft Teams or a SharePoint intranet are some of the smartest moves you can make in terms of boosting communication and collaboration for your team. And both are big, complex projects, so we don’t blame you if once they’re up and running, you’re tempted to slip into a “set it and forget it” mentality. However, that attitude could lead to you missing out on a lot of the value Microsoft 365 platforms have to offer. Microsoft is constantly improving and updating its products, and your organization needs to keep on top of these updates to keep your systems functioning smoothly and to make sure you’re not missing out! If your team doesn’t have the expertise and/or bandwidth to take on management of these systems, hiring an outside company to provide Microsoft 365 managed services is your best bet.
What Are Managed Services for Microsoft 365?
Managed Services refers to services or tasks that are handled by a third-party organization (a managed services provider) on an ongoing basis. For most providers, that means handling the administration and maintenance of your Microsoft and SharePoint systems to keep everything running efficiently. Most managed services providers offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint solutions for a monthly fee. However, as Microsoft itself offers support and maintenance, paying a managed service provider for these services is not always necessary. Some managed service providers also solve technical issues as they arise, and add or improve features in order to keep your system operating smoothly with a high level of performance.
