Why Managed Services? The Data-Driven Case

The global managed services market is booming, reaching $278.9 billion in revenue in 2022 and projected to hit $116.25 billion in the U.S. alone by 2030, growing at an annual rate of 10.82% (Statista). This surge is fueled by organizations seeking to:

  • Reduce operational costs by 25–45%
  • Boost productivity and focus on core business
  • Mitigate risks through expert cybersecurity and compliance
  • Access specialized, high-output talent without the overhead of in-house hiring

As Robert Peterson, CEO of Infrascale, notes:
“Businesses are moving away from reactive IT management and toward proactive, managed services. MSPs provide not just support, but strategic value — offering cybersecurity, cloud management, backup and disaster recovery that keep businesses running smoothly and profitably in an increasingly complex digital environment.”

Managed Services Benefits: What Sets Us Apart

  • Case Study: A U.S.-based marketing agency reduced administrative overhead by 58% and reallocated savings to client acquisition, resulting in a 35% increase in new business within six months.
