The Emergence of Managed Services

Small business owners recognize that information technology is a business enabler. In the best and worst of economic times, critical decisions are made to balance IT infrastructure and support spending versus core business investment. These decisions are often made without the required technical expertise and often lead to higher than necessary IT costs without achieving expected results.

Small businesses across the world are awakening to the value of a collaborative partnership with a technology expert to help them plan their IT growth through investment in outsourced services versus internally sourced capital and personnel. This managed services approach is widely prevalent representing a new paradigm in small business IT service delivery. It is deemed a growth market for the Managed Service Provider (MSP). It is growing because managed services have shown the potential to save small businesses money, lots of money, while allowing more time to concentrate on their core business.

 

Managed Services Integrator

There are many Valued Added Resellers (VAR) that have evolved from selling hardware and projects, to offering managed services. Some provide best in class services in one area while falling short or not offering important services in many others.

SBT Partners takes a different approach. We are not a VAR or an MSP. We use our expertise acquired from years of experience within both of these business models to connect small businesses with the services they require to run their business today and grow their business tomorrow.

As a Managed Services Integrator (MSI), SBT Partners seeks to provide best in class services through a network of relationships with partners that have proven leadership across a spectrum of managed services. We become your planning and implementation partner using a solid, proven methodology.

SBT Partners connects your small business to just those services you need, when you need them, serving as your single managed service integration contact.
