Top 5 Trustworthy Managed Service Providers in Vietnam

Nowadays, the use of managed services is considered an excellent management solution for businesses. This is because with managed service providers, businesses can address both personnel shortage and cost-related issues. However, do businesses truly understand about this service? What exactly is managed service? What are its benefits? Does this service have the potential to the extent that businesses need managed service providers? VTI will share all of these questions with readers in the article below.

What is managed service?

Managed Service is a service model in the Information Technology (IT) industry where an organization or company (often referred to as a Managed Service Provider – MSP) manages and maintains the information systems of another company or organization. MSPs typically have deep knowledge of IT technology and management processes, along with experienced professionals to support clients in managing and maintaining their IT systems.Services include:

• IT Infrastructure Management: Includes managing servers, networks, data storage, and other infrastructure components to ensure stable and efficient operations.
• Information Security: Provides comprehensive information security solutions, including network monitoring, threat detection and prevention, firewall deployment, data encryption, and certificate management.
• Application Management: Supports the deployment and management of enterprise applications such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and custom applications.
• Cloud Computing Services: Provides and manages cloud computing services such as cloud storage, virtual servers, and other services on cloud platforms.
• Device Management: Monitors and manages IT devices such as computers, printers, and network devices to ensure performance and information security.

Why are businesses increasingly interested in managed services?

• Core business focus: International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that most large enterprises, around 60%, will utilize services from managed service providers for managing infrastructure or applications, showcasing a shift towards concentrating on primary business operations.
• Cost efficiency: Over 70% of businesses in the Asia-Pacific region had incorporated cloud management services into their operational setups, highlighting a trend towards reducing initial investment costs in infrastructure and management personnel.
• Improved service standards: Embracing managed services is also expected to elevate the quality and dependability of a company’s IT systems, leveraging the specialized expertise managed service providers offer.
• Regulatory compliance and security: IDC’s projections of a doubled number of digital transformation projects shortly compared to five years prior prove a growing concern among businesses regarding compliance and data security.

Factors to consider before using managed services

• Company size: Most small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from using managed service providers (MSPs). These companies often pay for various services like antivirus software and data backup on an ad hoc basis. A third-party IT service provider can consolidate all these services, proactively repair everything before it breaks, and reduce downtime.
• Internal capability: The next question is whether you have the internal capability to handle these services or not. If yes, you should also ask whether managing these IT services is taking your team away from strategic IT initiatives, making them more focused. 
• MSP offerings: As mentioned earlier, MSPs range from basic IT support to outsourcing the entire IT department. They could be a large national or local company with excellent customer service. It’s important to assess your needs before deciding whether your company should work with a service provider. This will ensure that you make the right decision and help you find the right provider if you choose to work with one.
• Risk management: Your MSP actively monitors and manages your systems, meaning they’re ready to address any issues before they become costly problems for your company.
