What is Managed IT?
Managed IT is the subcontracting of all things IT to a third-party provider. It is a service offered by computing experts to help support and protect your devices. Enlisting an outsourced team is more cost effective than employing an in-house department. It also ensures that your equipment is given special attention by a team of experts, with tailored strategies developed to keep equipment working efficiently.

- Low maintenance costs
- Flexible on-call support
- A personalised service
- Advice from expert technicians
- Reliable equipment
- Less pressure on employees
- IT capabilities grow at the same speed as your business, facilitating further development
How does it work?
One aspect of a managed IT service is to manage equipment. By monitoring systems, and continuously reviewing whether they are functioning as they should, you can have a clear overview of your company’s efficiency.
In addition, professionals can recognise potential issues in the system before they escalate into something unmanageable. Pro-active IT is a preventative strategy that aims to protect your system. It does so by anticipating problems before they arise. This leads to a quick fix rather than a long and expensive replacement.
EBM also provides on-call support. This means in the event of an unexpected malfunction, expert advice is only a call away.
