Boost in Managed Services Suggests Utility Computing Growth

The advantage of managed IT service is that it allows businesses to secure the IT support they need, without having to take on the responsibility and expense of managing these services. When coupled with the development and deployment of computing resources, it becomes clear that outsourcing IT is the smart way to go for small to medium-sized businesses looking to do more for less.

One way that Horne & Benik achieves this is by making our managed IT service available for a flat rate. This finally makes it possible for you to budget around your IT expenditures, instead of having your budget busted by unforeseen IT problems. In fact, Horne & Benik’s offering covers many different technology aspects of your business that are critical to your success. These include, but are not limited to; communication, applications deployment, and the proactive support of the business’ IT infrastructure.

Additionally, Horne & Benik is at the forefront of one of the most significant technology trends that’s allowing businesses to achieve much more with their data: cloud computing. In fact, a survey conducted by THINKstrategies and MSPAlliance found that over four out of five Managed Service Providers have seen their revenues grow thanks, in large part, to the growth in demand for secure utility computing platforms. Essentially, the cloud is big right now and we can handle all of your company’s virtual needs regarding hosted cloud solutions.

To achieve this, we can provide your business access to secure data centers to host your company’s data. These contract collocation centers allow organizations to rent the equipment, space, and bandwidth they need, so you to take full advantage of all the different ways that the cloud can enhance your company’s productivity. In fact, even if you’re in need of a cloud service that Horne & Benik doesn’t directly provide, we have the connections and resources to find you a third-party solution that will get the job done.

Another statistic to consider is the projected growth of MSPs. A study by MarketsandMarkets has predicted that total MSP business will increase nearly 100 percent annually to $255 billion by 2018. Two reasons to account for this staggering growth are:

• The cloud is still a relatively new technology that a significant portion of the market has yet to fully adopt.
• New cloud-based services are projected to come out that will improve capabilities and allow businesses to do even more.

Regarding all of these developments surrounding cloud computing and managed IT services, Horne & Benik has a firm understanding of technology and what it takes to implement solutions to improve your bottom line. Call us at (603) 499-4400 to find out what we can do for you.
