Is Your Department a Candidate for Managed Services?
Wondering whether Functional Managed Services is the right fit for your institution? Consider these questions…
- Is the department consistently meeting its goals and objectives? A pattern of underperformance might indicate that external support and expertise are needed to enhance performance and reliability.
- Do you have the necessary skills and knowledge to keep up with technological advancements and industry best practices? If skill gaps exist, managed services can provide access to a deep bench of specialized expertise.
- Are you experiencing frequent technology-related disruptions or downtime that impacts productivity? Persistent disruptions may be a signal that you need help. Managed services can help stabilize and improve the department’s use of technology.
- Is your current department strategy aligned with your long-term goals and objectives and your institutional strategic plan? A managed services partner can offer thoughtful guidance to ensure that your investments align with your department’s objectives and meet the institution’s needs. Departments are part of an ecosystem so top performance within the department is just as important as interoperability between departments.
- Do you have difficulty attracting and retaining skilled talent? High turnover or unfilled positions may indicate a need for managed services to ensure continuous and reliable employee or management support.
