Frequently Asked Questions
A Managed Service Provider (MSP) is a third-party company that manages and assumes the responsibility of a defined set of IT and technology management services to its customers. It is a strategic method of improving operations that is commonplace among large corporations as well as small and medium-size businesses, non-profit organizations, and governments. As an MSP, the CHR Team can act as the client’s IT Department or can simply augment the IT staff that is already in place.
Businesses of all sizes and in all industries use Managed Services for a variety of different reasons. Small to medium size companies use MSPs to provide full IT services so they can focus on their core business and maintain operational cost control. Larger companies may use an MPS to augment the in house IT staff, having the MSP handle the more day to day tasks freeing up resources to complete more strategic projects. Companies that need 24x7x365 monitoring and alert will engage an MSP to assist with that coverage
Customers can reach our Help Desk 24x7x365 and receive help from a live technician. Response times to specific issues depend on the severity of the issue the client is facing. Our goal is to meet your enterprise needs by maximizing uptime and addressing issues as soon as they occur.
