The role of the Systems Engineer in a managed service provider

Advancements in technology are so fast, we need to be ahead of the game for our clients so that we have the absolute latest knowledge and qualifications to be able to advise them on the best solutions, specific to their individual business requirements. No one wants to make a large investment in their IT infrastructure, only to discover a few months later, there was actually something more suitable they could have had, if only their advisers had known about it. 

Clients are definitely more inquisitive about IT now than when I first entered the industry. Top of their minds now are security issues and how they can best digitally optimise their business systems to enable them to work more swiftly, more cost-effectively and wherever and whenever they like. They see the business case for putting more resources into their IT budgets. 

And as an IT Engineer, I’ve seen some really positive changes in the industry. Backup solutions have vastly improved. Advances in technology mean we can recover a client’s data so much more quickly than before –  I’m really interested in DRaaS – Disaster Recovery as a Service. The growth of virtualisation has enabled many options when it comes to disaster recovery and backup solutions. More and more businesses are turning to hosted clouds and as a managed service provider, it makes it much easier for us to manage resources and hardware on behalf of the client.  

I think within five years we won’t see many servers sitting in the corner of Guernsey offices; they’ll all be sitting in the cloud. And I think a large percentage of businesses IT department’s will be spending more time managing specialist providers. The pace of technological change will make it more cost-effective, secure and efficient to lean on outsourced service providers who are managed by the IT department or work alongside them.  

When you use a managed services provider, you’re getting the most up-to-date collaborative,  and comprehensive IT knowledge base for a fixed price, tapping into specialisms which may not be available in-house. And with the colossal rise in cyber breaches it’s a total no-brainer to have access to the very latest and best IT knowledge.’
