Re: Will Dell’s ProManage Derail Your MPS Strategy?

maxr — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:27:13 -0000

You guys are either going paranoid or just trolling for blog content. Managed Services is a concept not a product. It is applicable to any thing that can/needs to be managed to increase utilization. But dont take my word for it our good friends at wikipedia define it as

Managed services is the practice of transferring day-to-day related management responsibility as a strategic method for improved effective and efficient operations. The person or organization who owns or has direct oversight of the organization or system being managed is referred to as the offerer, client, or customer. The person or organization that accepts and provides the managed service is regarded as the service provider.

The problem or disconnect occurs on the defining of MPS. Often it is thought of as a product or service. However is it, like Lean Sigma, a CONCEPT.

I must be missing your point here Greg. When is cost savings NOT important to the prospect? Furthermore, the last time FUD was used as an effective way to motivate people to buy was the whole Y2K fiasco.

Okay I get it. You would feel better if you actually had to pay MONEY for buggy applications and poor customer support. I wonder if such a company actually exists.

What color is the sky in your world?
"In ways they didn't 36 months ago..." Did you ever read the back of a cereal box when you were a 7 year old and find a 1-800 number for questions or concerns? Matchbox race car? Bottle of mustard? Companies have always solicited customer feedback. The difference today is the pervasiveness and exposure of the feedback.

great insight Kenny boy. you are accumulating very valuable experience working for a SMB, getting acquired by an enterprise size company, assimilating the SMB into the enterprise size company, and i am sure next step will provide the experience of you representing the enterprise company as you assimilate another SMB.

Somewhere in here should there not be discussion of why information is exploding? One reason could be because access to information is so readily available and in various formats.

Step 1 - start updating resume
Step 2 - drafting cover letter
Step 3 - set up alerts on job boards
