Discover How Parallels Remote Application Server is a Great Asset in IT Outsourcing
With technology enabling professionals to work from anywhere, IT outsourcing has become a business need, therefore a business opportunity. It appears to be an added expense at first glance, but businesses ultimately save money by outsourcing, as Managed Service Providers (MSPs) provide similar services to multiple customers, which lowers the cost.
By delegating server deployment, management, and other IT needs to MSPs, businesses can concentrate on their core procedures to improve productivity. Moreover, IT outsourcing brings extremely qualified professionals on board for a decent price, for which you get better and more extensive services. With the costs involved in hiring and training an employee, providing employee benefits, and management oversight eliminated, your infrastructural expenses turn into service costs.
Three important elements of IT operations that are being outsourced are virtualization, data center operations and disaster recovery.
Challenges Faced by MSPs
Mobile devices, BYOD, and cloud computing pose a big challenge for MSPs. To stay ahead of the competition, MSPs have to deliver innovative and up-to-date services at low prices. A comprehensive virtualization platform that enables MSPs to monitor and manage the entire infrastructure is critical. The platform should allow tracking of resource usage, to facilitate customized billing. Moreover, outsourced IT services should integrate with existing systems to leverage resources and should be able to support a wide range of mobile devices, platforms, and operating systems. And the licensing model should be flexible.
