Hosted System Center Remote Managed Services
1/1/ :29 AM Scalable Easily scale to manage multiple SMB customers Out-of the box managed services functionality Secure Secure connection over the internet Remote troubleshoot without using credentials Comprehensive & Knowledge driven Must be simple – quick to install not heavy Easy to use Hosting mailboxes or CRM that talks to the monitoring tools Must be extensible Why does this sit in relation to SCE - more mature people in the EPG end - in mid market they have less servers, less IT staff or less maturity. Therefore less robust IT. Where there is an IT generalist – they may run SCE themselves. But where 24.7 support is required or need holiday, illness coverage etc. More than just monitoring Knowledge that reduces your problem resolution time Extensible Rich customizable reporting based on SLA Connectors to accounting/billing and trouble ticketing © 2006 Microsoft Corporation.
