What is ITaaS? IT as a Service is a technology delivery method that treats IT as a commodity, providing an enterprise with technology solutions and support at a predictable monthly fee.
5
What are the Benefits of ITaaS? ITaaS Benefits Economics - Reduce cost of current IT spend with a predictable monthly fee Productivity: Focus on core strategic business initiatives rather than dealing with IT tasks and problems Scalability: Eliminate constraints caused by a lack of internal capabilities and limited resources Agility: ITaaS can quickly adapt as your IT requirements change Availability – Reduced downtime across your entire infrastructure
6
Is ITaaS a Fit for My Organization? ITaaS Candidates Plan to move to the cloud or have already done so Need to centrally manage all devices, including mobile phones and tables Support BYOD Would like to supplement or outsource day-to-day end-user IT support or the entire IT support department Require dedicated engineering design, implementation and IT support for projects Target / Use Cases Multi-location customers Every end-user, regardless of type Frustrated / Overworked IT Looking for a gradual transition to the cloud Mobile workforces Need supplemental technology support
7
Supporting BYOD Bring Your Own Device Employees expect the ability to work from anywhere, on any device IT Administrators are now required to support employee owned devices, straining IT support resources IT has not traditionally had a powerful portal or management software to properly administer multiple types of devices (Tablets, Smartphone, Laptops (MAC)) IT does not need to stand up mobile device management platform onsite, saving time and reducing capex RMM enables the administration of devices using a centralized, cloud-based interface. Smartphone or Tablet (iOS or Android) Windows based devices Linux based devices Mac based devices
8
Managing Mobile Devices Defining the Problem Mobile devices requiring IT support has more than doubled No time or focus on strategic business initiatives such as: Security Compliance Disaster Recovery IT Departments must learn how to manage new devices rapidly in order to support the employees Support windows have increased since workers are working all hours via mobile, straining and frustrating IT teams Employees and their devices may be off premise

14
What ITaaS Doesn’t Cover While ITaaS can offload the majority of support for organizations, on premise support may still be required for items such as: Print toner needs to be replaced CFO smashes and breaks space bar on keyboard Monitor falls off desk and breaks Run new cable drops Fix the projector Upgrade workstation memory Setup new AV in conference room User training for the new CRM software
15
How the Cloud Supplements ITaaS Moving to the cloud supplements ITaaS by providing: The ability to rapidly deploy new users from gold images On premise hardware failure typically involves replacing a thin client Data in the cloud is backed up frequently Environments are highly available and may be accessed from anywhere No more liability if a laptop is stolen No more large capex for hardware with limited scalability No more stressing when the CEO asks for a new project or additional server/desktop capacity
