Managed Service Provider
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a third-party company that remotely
manages a customer's information technology (IT) infrastructure and end-user
systems. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), nonprofits and
government agencies hire MSPs to perform a defined set of day-to-day
management services.
MSPs take on the routine management tasks, allowing customer organizations to
focus on improving their services without the concern of extended system
downtimes or interruptions.
Some MSPs specialize in specific IT areas like data storage, while others target
particular industries such as legal, finance, healthcare, or manufacturing. For
instance, Managed Security Service Providers offer services like remote firewall
administration. MSPs often conduct their tasks remotely via the internet, offering
specialized services like managed print services for maintaining printers and
consumables.
