IT Managed Services Provider - Quick Reference Guide
What is a Managed Services Provider (MSP)? 
A managed services provider (MSP), is an information technology (IT) services provider, who manages and assumes responsibility for providing a proactive set of defined services to their client’s IT infrastructure. Managed services are often looked at as a way for small and medium sized businesses to outsource their IT needs at a lower cost than building an in-house IT support department.
