Instead, you pay the IT Outsourcing company to provide a certain number of staff for a pre-determined number of hours per week or month. Managed Services, on the other hand, is a different model of IT Outsourcing altogether. Instead of paying for the time of an IT employee, you are paying for your systems to be properly designed, maintained and supported – regardless of what the service provider has to do to achieve that. Ultimately, this is the end objective of any IT department.
