Managed IT Services Engagement
The number of business owners that have engaged with us here at ERS IT Solutions for Managed Services has increased dramatically over the past 24 months. The main driver of this trend is poor service delivery by their current IT partner fuelled by a distinct deficit in IT skills/expertise and a lack of qualified resources.
Many of these IT providers operate using a ‘low cost/high churn model’ with little or no interest in long-term relationships or even in the real wellbeing of the customer’s IT environment which is why their services were sought in the first place.
In hard times, it is understandable that companies will gravitate towards lower prices and these initial proposals will sound incredibly attractive. You will have been told you are getting a Managed Services contract and everything will seem perfect on the surface so why should you be worried.
The Reality of Managed IT Support Packages
Price is only one element of the overall package you are purchasing. As the old adage says, ‘If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys’, and that goes for these support packages that mask themselves as Managed Services.
The tell-tale signs are all too familiar and will manifest themselves very early in the relationship.
- Your logged calls take hours (if not days) to elicit a response.
- When a response arrives, the problem is addressed, only to resurface all too soon.
- You never seem to be able to talk to the same IT resource and consequently they never have a full picture of your IT environment.
- Performance issues affecting applications and systems seem to be constantly present with no definitive answers being given and it’s always some other third party getting the blame.
The bad news is that this low cost package that looked attractive initially is actually costing your business money in lost productivity and inefficient or unsuitable IT advise and infrastructure choices.
Professional Managed IT Services
The truth is that Managed IT Services is a collection of distinct services that can only be provided by suitably qualified personnel. There’s a lot more to Managed Services than merely forwarding an electronic report to a customer every month with meaningless statistical information. Managed Services means proactively monitoring a customer’s IT infrastructure and solving any problems before they affect the customer’s IT experience. It means taking preventative action to stop any issues occurring before they disrupt the customer’s IT experience and affect productivity. It means finding out why IT problems occur and solving them in a way that they will never happen again.
- It’s about proactively monitoring a customer’s IT infrastructure and reacting to solve problems before they impact the environment or user.
- It’s about taking preventative measures within the customers IT infrastructure to prevent issues from occurring in the first place minimising user disruption and improving business efficiency.
- It’s about getting to the root of all IT problems and solving them in a manner that ensures they will not occur again.
Managed Services can only be performed adequately by a company that has fully qualified and highly capable staff who are dedicated to providing first-class customer service. At ERS IT Solutions, as one of the leading IT Managed Service Providers in Ireland, we tick those boxes. Our team of IT specialists will provide customers with end-to-end IT managed services and solutions, and our service delivery model that sets us apart from other IT managed service providers.
Managed IT Services: On-Boarding
The first step in delivering a professional Managed Service to any business is the on-boarding process and site audit. This entails a comprehensive review of the customer’s IT environment to identify any security risks, vulnerabilities or faults that require urgent corrective attention.
The aim is to bring the customer’s environment up to requisite safety standards where all systems are fully patched and configured with our managed agent tools, which also automatically perform multiple software updates to minimise disruption to the customer’s IT usage.
This may not seem especially important but this step will greatly reduce the amount of interruption from software updates, leading to improved productivity and an all-around enhanced customer experience.
Managed IT Services: Continual Monitoring
As part of a Managed Services package from ERS IT Solutions, we monitor multiple aspects of the customer’s IT environment, including service threshold levels that check unusual activity across memory, disk storage, CPU usage and temperature.
This allows our team to react swiftly to identify the root cause of any problems and take remedial action before the customer ever knows that there was an issue. This greatly reduces business disruption for the customer and can provide massive gains in productivity.
At ERS IT Solutions, this is what we call Professional Managed Services. We are fully dedicated to resolving our customers’ IT problems in the least amount of time and our services are based on an agreed Service Level Agreement where we guarantee that we will fix the problem within a specified amount of time or else you get your money back.

“…We wanted to implement an offsite ‘Disaster Recovery’ plan that would allow us to recover our IT systems in the event of a catastrophic equipment, technical or facility failure. We met with the ERS professional services team and they presented the options available and explained the features of each solution. We found their advice to be invaluable and the decision to pick the right solution was straight forward. Deployment of the solution was performed with minimal disruption to our business and we can now rest easy that we can recover from any unplanned event. It was a pleasure dealing with the team at ERS and would recommend them highly to any business…”
