A managed desktop service allows an IT service provider to manage the applications, data, hardware and software for multiple users within a business, organization, or government entity.  There are a variety of services that can be provided and it’s important to evaluate the service provider, pricing structure, and security protocols to determine which provider can best serve your business.  While software companies like Microsoft and or providers like AWS provide a certain level of managed services, these solutions are not always holistic in nature.  A managed service provider can go one step further by evaluating all the applications your business may use and how they are integrated, and data is protected.  This is where a strong technology partner can be of tremendous value.
