What is included in a managed IT services agreement?

Managed IT services agreements typically bundle network monitoring, help desk support, patch management, backup oversight and strategic technology planning into one flat monthly fee. Rectitude’s managed IT scope covers proactive monitoring, security oversight and engineering support, replacing reactive, per-incident IT calls with continuous coverage across a client’s network environment.

Core components of a managed IT services agreement:

  • RMM (remote monitoring and management) software: Tracks device health, security patches and performance metrics across every endpoint on the network.
  • Help desk support: If an employee cannot access email or a shared drive, then a ticket routes to a support technician for remote or onsite resolution.
  • Patch management: Operating system and application updates are scheduled and applied on a defined cycle to close known security vulnerabilities.
  • vCIO (virtual chief information officer) advisory: Recurring technology roadmap reviews align IT spending with business growth plans.
  • NOC (network operations center) monitoring: Continuous oversight of servers, firewalls and network hardware flags outages before they affect staff.
