Successful business needs some elements to be in without which a business can’t survive. When you start a business it needs some investment, tools and technology and the major part of the business that is the human resource. It includes all the employees working in different departments of the organization. Human resource is the most important part of every organization. With the passage of time the need of having more human resource is decreasing and this is just because of the reason that we are moving towards the e-business. E-business includes the online work and some organizations prefer to complete their work from some online sources so this has changed the hiring process.

Today the outsourcing of businesses is becoming very common and preferable by the businessmen. It is done for being cost efficient in proper way. Companies usually incur huge costs in recruiting the staff. Recruitment is a long procedure having being divide in certain steps i.e. short listing of candidates, walk in interviews, selection committee, hiring of employees and at last their training sessions. This long procedure can affect the business in any possible negative way. Time limitation in completing a huge task instantly is the big challenge for a company. The company faces a problem when there is small time limit for completing a big project. The best thing at this stage is to discover a best alternative for performing the required task timely rather than striking head in useless and unreliable procedures. To ask the pet employees to work as part timers can be a solution for the company. And if they agree, there could not be any other best alternative than this. On the contrary; company would have to go for another way if workers disagree.

Now a day the most commonly used way for getting the extra work done is giving the responsibilities to the third party. That third party could be an online company or any real one. That third party is usually known as a managed services provider. Managed services provider works as a third party for other companies, they usually works with lots of companies at a single time to maintain their business as well as to get profit. Managed services provider mainly works on monthly packages and they get the monthly charges from the companies, to which they used to provide their services. More precisely we can say that they generate their income and profit from getting projects from other companies by providing their services in return.

Managed services provider majorly provides IT related services like technical assistance for any business, maintenance of their old data and making their backups, providence of full fledge security protection for their computer systems, designing and maintaining their websites, designing their logos for different products, server management, maintenance of customer's records, who have visited the website and found any query regarding any product, and lots of other IT related assistance.

Companies realized after analysis of expenses incurred by company’s IT department and the outer service that the costs are minimized in hiring the services from outside. Hiring them as the IT department save the company from unnecessary wastage of time and cost

There are certain advantages of managed services provider that make it more commonly used service rather than recruitment of new employees. The most important benefit is that the companies who don’t want to establish a new IT setup due to space or cost constraints could easily get their work done by the managed services provider. Secondly, it’s a cost effective and time saving process of hiring services provider instead of hiring new employees. Managed services provider can provide all type of IT related guidance and solutions that one or two employees might not be able to handle with at a single time. The overall benefit of managed service provider is that they will always provided you the best and timely work because they have to maintain their trust relation with all companies as it’s the only way of their survival.

Though this is really a good way to reduce your cost and work burden but still there are companies who are not following this strategy because they are not that comfortable or flexible with this. Looking into the benefits this seems to be very successful step for future companies.
