When an e-mail server crashes, a network hub goes on the blink or a mission-critical application fails, companies with limited or overburdened IT staff often depend on a managed service provider (MSP) to come to the rescue.

The transition to hybrid and remote work models places considerable strain on legacy network architectures, forcing organizations across the globe to address increased demand for bandwidth, cloud access and borderless security. Eight in 10 organizations report they are struggling to meet current business requirements with their existing infrastructure, according to a recent IDG study.
Businesses across all industry sectors are eager to leverage automation, analytics and other next-generation technologies to create new opportunities and efficiencies.

All present significant challenges for IT organizations dealing with staffing and budget limitations while trying to handle an increasing of day-to-day responsibilities.
