MSP Pie's directory in Melbourne currently includes 95 Managed IT and helpdesk providers. Worth knowing: managed IT means outsourcing day-to-day IT operations — helpdesk, monitoring, patching and maintenance — to a single provider on an ongoing contract, rather than calling someone only when something breaks. Some background: comparing managed IT providers usually means checking response-time SLAs and after-hours coverage, and whether support is unlimited or capped, rather than price alone.
