• Managed services offer various benefits that are proven to positively impact the development of the organization that adopts such services as they can focus on their core expertise. It is estimated that successfully deploying managed services will help reduce IT cost by 25-45% and increase operational efficiency by 45-65%. In addition, according to Intelligent Technical Solutions, 25% of organizations said downtime costs averaged between USD 301,000 and USD 400,000 per hour.
• Moreover, 2022 was expected to be all about application deployments matched to the development speed. The application maintenance and support services will be pivotal to the managed services in IT. Application performance monitoring (APM) will imbibe a quick feedback mechanism for developers. Front-end monitoring (for studying user behavior), ADTD (for application discovery, tracing, and diagnostics), and AIOps analytics (for detecting application lifecycle patterns and anomalies) will all be parts of APM. These solutions will help the DevOps team to analyze business problems better. It will cut down on their mean time to repair (MTTR).
• With industry requirements, standards, and consumer needs changing daily, businesses are seeking result-based outcomes. They require possession of pre-defined or expected criteria documented clearly, and in real time. The MSP will now be seen using advanced analytics and reporting to state the implemented technologies' impact and present factual data.
• Further, the Blockchain and IoT technologies are set to create better opportunities for managed services providers, as these organizations require expertise to implement these technologies. To get a hold of these opportunities, stay relevant, and keep up with the competition, managed services providers increasingly acquire essential skill sets for these, among other innovative technologies, like AR, VR, and AI.
• Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for cloud-based solutions saw significant growth due to remote working models being adopted by enterprises. As more IT decision-makers look to take advantage of modern cloud environments, they are increasingly running into longer project runways and the need for bigger budgets. According to Wanclouds, nearly half (48%) of the US and the UK IT decision-makers say the average time it takes them to complete a single multi-cloud application migration successfully is 1-2 months.
