Shared and Managed IT Services

The Forum's Small/Medium/Local Government Agency Committee is hosting two similar sessions on Shared and Managed IT Services - May 6th session in Saratoga Springs targeted for Local Governments and May 7th in Albany targeted for NYS Agencies.

Tight fiscal times and rising customer expectations are facing today's IT organizations. These challenges create opportunities for synergy. Whether its collaboration or consolidation, shared or managed, there are costs and benefits to each approach.

Overview of Managed Services in Government
Dale Strange, Director of Services, Dell Public Accounts
Managed Services is the process by which organizations outsource certain day-to-day IT tasks, organizational functions or business processes to a third party who is expert in that particular area. Managed Services relationships typically allow government organizations to focus on core responsibilities, while the ongoing services effort of monitoring and maintaining select computers, networks and software is provided by a Managed Services Provider (MSP).
Dale Strange will discuss managed services best practices and applications in State and Local Government environments, drivers, benefits and challenges.
