Factors of production play an important role in the advancement of a business. The strength of a business depends upon its human resource. Human resource is though considered the important key for any business but the technological development has changes the scenario in today’s world.

As the businesses are becoming more virtual or online day by day so some employers are also moving towards getting some part of their businesses done from online sources or from the third party. The major reason of doing this thing is to cut the cost in a way that it couldn’t affect the profitability and operations of business. As we all knows very well that companies usually have to invest a huge amount in hiring process. The hiring includes time consuming processes from short listing among the huge number of candidates to their test, interviews, hiring and finally their training. So it wastes lots of time, energies and cost too. The main problem comes when the company gets the big project for once and it has to complete it in a limited time period. At that time companies used to look at the most reliable and cost effective way rather than hiring new people and trained them. The one option that could be taken in this regard is to ask the employees that either they are able to serve the company as part time workers or not. If the workers get agreed to the management’s proposal then it would be the best option for management rather than hiring new staff. But if the workers don’t want to avail that opportunity then the management has to think something different to meet their business requirement.

As there is a trend of online companies who are taking the responsibilities of doing your work as the third party so they are called the managed service providers. Their work is to work with many companies simultaneously and they get profit of it. They charge the companies for the work they do on monthly basis. Their basic work is to get the projects and earn money and profits.

Having enough expertise in the related area, these service providers are becoming the IT departments of some companies, as this leads the companies to minimize the costs of making its own IT department. Hence companies hired them as their IT department to mange whole IT needs efficiently.

Managed service provider is very useful having many benefits like this is very cost effective process for those companies who can’t afford to maintain or even build their separate IT setups and it reduces the cost that would be incurred in hiring new IT staff. Managed service provider will always facilitate you with the best ever and timely IT solutions because they have to maintain their credibility to make more profit.
