There are many factors necessary for a successful business like a proper infrastructure, investment and the most important is human resource. This is the necessary element of any kind of business either new or old. HR is the equity of every business but the upcoming technologies and the modernism is going to change the way of hiring and selection of the human resource. Human resource plays an important role without which you cannot run the business properly.

Hiring process in every organization varies according to their rules and regulation and also depending on the type of work they have in their organization. This process is very expansive and as we are living in a global era so everyone is moving towards online businesses for which they need resources to do their work online. This is because online businesses are easy to handle, they do not require any this type of selection and this process is cost effective and time consuming too. In manual selection or hiring there are many factors to check like short listing, interviews and trainings while online method is easy and quick. The problem in manual selection is that when a company has a large project and they have to do it in a very short period of time then they look for the most reliable human resource rather they hire new people so they go for the option to work for part time if the employees get ready then they start working if not then the company think about the new hiring process for the business requirement.

Presently the solution for this problem is hiring a reliable outer party for the extra work. This need can be satisfied by any online or real source. Another name used for this out source is managed services provider. Managed service provider has the function to manage the work of different companies in order to take benefit and manage their business. Third parties provide monthly services against the charges. Shortly speaking managed service providers get the projects of service provision from other companies and get profit in return.

The basic work of managed service providers includes the maintenance of the old data, keeping the backups and the IT related services like security protections, web designing etc. There are a lot of work related to IT and they work for different companies at a time.

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.

Some positive points of managed services provider make it preferable over the recruitment of new employees. The companies facing the hurdles of money and space shortage problems usually do not want to make separate IT departments and can avail the virtual IT services from the managed services provider. Another advantage is of minimization of cost and saving of enough time to complete the work instead of hiring and training of the work force. Service provider run a whole broader system that can provide the thorough information and guidance related to each and every issue, but the one or two employees cannot manage that alone. A psychological need of managed service provider can provide better results for you i.e. they have to provide best services in order to retain their customers.

Although some companies still prefer to have in-house IT departments but most of them are moving towards getting the third party’s services to make their outputs quicker and cheaper. By looking its advantages it could be said easily that in future there will be very difficult to find even a single company that has their own IT department in their setup.
