Managed Services with Azure

Managed Services Providers for Azure

Microsoft Azure offers numerous cloud-based solutions for your business. With IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings, Azure can provide solutions to fit a variety of business needs. Microsoft has continuously improved their service offerings since Azure launched in 2010. As Azure has increased in feature offerings and overall reach across the business world, supporting companies have sprung up to help business manage Azure effectively. Going to an outside expert with Azure best practices, precise skills, and extra industry certifications is one of the smartest business decisions you can make.

Using a Partner

When deciding on Azure, there are other management options than running it yourself. Some companies have no trouble managing Azure and devote entire departments to this task. But for many companies, this isn’t possible. Finding Azure talent can pose problems, let alone trying to develop a team that can cover Azure’s range of services. This is where a managed service provider can help. In the simplest terms, they take over the daily management and upkeep of your Azure systems (no matter the size or scope) while working closely in your requirements and helping future cloud planning.

Why use a managed service provider?

Azure is a multifaceted, flexible, and powerful system. This also means it’s a system that can be complex to use if you’re not intimately familiar. Even if you have the knowledge to manage your own system, you may not have the time to do so. Every hour spent managing your Azure systems is an hour that cannot be used for your company’s core business operations.

This is why a managed service provider is so valuable. They oversee and manage your Azure system to your specifications allowing you to focus on more pressing matters. By working with a skilled partner, you gain access to experienced and certified engineers without the need to interview and hire new employees. They come with years of industry experience, Microsoft best practices, and work in Azure every day.

A managed service provider ensures your company is using your Azure systems to your fullest potential.
