Managed IT Support (MSP)

Outsourcing day-to-day IT — helpdesk, monitoring, security, strategy — to an external team for a fixed monthly fee.

An MSP (Managed Service Provider) takes on ongoing responsibility for a business's IT, rather than being called in only when something breaks. That typically includes a helpdesk, proactive monitoring and patching, security tooling, and advice on technology decisions — for a predictable monthly cost rather than unpredictable call-out bills.
