In most cases, it is impractical for enterprises to hire and retain in-house teams to perform all of the above tasks.

Network technologies are increasingly becoming complex and involve the integration of solution components from a diverse set of hardware, software, and bandwidth providers. Invariably, implementing a sophisticated network connectivity backbone for optimal business application performance will involve a mix of third-party vendors and OEMs who specialize in different aspects of the solution.

Coordinating troubleshooting involving multiple vendor entities can be a big drain on the internal IT team productivity and can even compromise routine tasks that the IT team is primarily responsible for due to lack of time.

The problem of accountability and finger-pointing among providers is pronounced when there is no single entity to take ownership for all solution components – a role, managed network service providers are suitable for.
