Most Managed Service Providers (MSP) provides only very limited services that the clients request.    Clients normally do not understand that there many other services needed to support their information technology infra-structure, such as security and technical support.   Avant-Grade-Technologies Umbrella MSP subsidiary provides comprehensive manages services.  Only premium managed services are provided so that its clients receive a full range of IT services at a fixed price.   The normal subscription for MSP services start at $20,000 per month and increase as more resources are needed. 

 

 

The Umbrella MSP was started to allow businesses to systematize all their processes and focus on their business issues.  By using Umbrella MSP business clients do not need a IT department, since all of their IT requirements are provided.  This offers these businesses substantial cost savings by not having to pay for hardware, software and highly skilled IT professionals.  Most of the Umbrella business clients have between 120 to 800 employees.  Larger companies are welcome to become UmbrellaMSP clients, but often have their own IT infra-structure.

In addition to comprehensive managed services for IT, the best  security possible is handled by Umbrella MSP.  This is done by having multiple security software technologies, training to avoid social engineering attacks, SIEMs, and constant monitoring 24 hours every day.   For example, no client has ever experienced a ranson attack or major security incident.

Most MSPs provide services for only specific components of an IT infra-structure.  It is something like outsourcing specific functions.   There are many components that require the appropriate skill-set to do it well.  The Umbrella MPS was created to provide a holistic IT function for companies.  The company does not offer specific services, but rather provides all the IT services needed by a good IT organization to achieve business objectives.  

 

The most frequent individual services provided by most MSPs include:

  • Managing IT infrastructure
  • Adding cybersecurity hardening to IT systems
  • Remote storage
  • Software as a Service
  • Help Desk for technical suppor
  • Offering technical support to staff
  • Managing user access accounts on clients’ systems

Most MSPs are provided by a few technical experts in specific niche areas. This is good enough  for very small businesses that are unlikely to see much growth, but it is not suitable for any company that expects future business growth. 

The MSP uses cloud services for all hardware and software. This infrastructure strategy will solve a great many of the location-related problems. All our clients need is a reliable, high-speed internet service. Taking the cloud route immediately rules out locations where the Internet is not constantly available.

Using a cloud infrastructure for your MSP also provides solutions for your staffing problems. Cloud hardware is accessible from anywhere, so it can be accessed by home-based technicians just as readily as it would be available to any staff, in an office.  The Cloud infra-structure used by the Umbrella MSP allows business clients to eliminate in-house technicians to maintain hardware and software,  network monitoring, security, application performance management, database administration, DevOps, and many others essential functions.

UmbrellaMSP objective is to offer technology services cheaper than what it would cost an enterprise to do itself, at a higher level of quality, and with more flexibility and scalability. This is achieved through efficiencies of scale.  UmbrellaMSP is able to hire specialists that smaller enterprises in particular may not be able to justify.  This often involves automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.   Most medium sized businesses can’t afford to hire people with these skills and the technology needed to implement them.

UmbrellaMSP is very different outsourcing companies.  It directs its resources toward the end results needed by an enterprise to improve its business.

 

 

 

What differentiates UmbrellaMSP from outsourcing companies is its focus on the end results needed by an enterprise.  An outsourcing company, whereas outsourcing focuses on the specific IT jobs by using less expensive personnel.   It is almost a very bad decision to use outsourcing  for many reasons, including poor design of DevOps, Security, enormous maintenance costs and many others.   The cost for outsourcing may appear to be less than using the UmbrellaMSP software engineers, but it will cost many times more resulting from factors mentioned.
