10 Reasons to Consider Managed Services for Microsoft 365

A managed service provider (MSP) is an invaluable asset when it comes to supporting and optimizing your Microsoft 365 systems and applications. An MSP provides well-informed advice to help you determine what you need, designs your ideal cloud solution, manages the migration, and then provides ongoing management and optimization support. From consulting to migrations to operations management, you'll reap the benefits of cloud adoption with managed Azure services based on DevOps, automation and cloud-native application design. Using the best features of Azure, you can design solutions - whether they are IaaS, PaaS or SaaS offerings - to meet your unique business requirements.

As a one-stop shop for customers, an MSP provides a common support, provisioning and billing experience, all with a flexible pay-as-you-go business model. But why should you consider managed services for Microsoft 365? Here are 10 reasons:
