IT Managed Services That Go Beyond SLAs

Modern managed services shouldn’t be judged by response times alone.
The right MSP helps your organisation
reduce disruption, improve experience, strengthen security, and move forward strategically — not just meet contractual metrics.

"Overreliance on SLAs and transactional performance metrics limits the ability of organisations to drive outcomes beyond basic cost control. Instead, rethink metrics toward outcome-based performance models that incentivise innovation, business value and continuous improvement."
 
Gartner, 14 January 2025

According to Gartner

30-40%

of organisations improve operational efficiency by utilising a 3rd party Managed Services provider

70%

of organisations value outcomes over SLAs

>50%

of internal IT teams still spend the majority of their time reacting to issues instead of improving services.

Desired Outcomes

Measurable Service Improvement

Success is defined by fewer recurring issues, improved stability and reduced disruption — not just faster responses.

Proactive Preventative Delivery

Patterns are identified early, risks addressed before impact, and improvements recommended as part of the service.

Business-Aligned Service Outcomes

Managed services are measured against outcomes that matter to leadership, not just operational performance.

Transparent, Outcome-Based Reporting

Clear insight into trends, risks and improvements builds trust and supports a genuine partnership.

Beach Watermelon Moment

Current Postion

SLA Metrics Look Healthy

Response times, uptime and ticket closure rates appear strong, but these metrics often hide ongoing disruption, repeat issues and poor user experience.

Reactive Support Model

Issues are resolved quickly but not permanently. Root causes are rarely addressed, leading to recurring incidents and unnecessary operational noise.

Disconnected From Business Goals

Managed services operate around infrastructure metrics, with limited alignment to productivity, risk reduction or strategic priorities.

Limited Visibility Of Improvement

Reporting focuses on activity, not progress — making it hard to tell whether services are actually improving over time.
