“Managed Services” – Have you seen/heard the term lately? I’m pretty sure if you’ve sat in on a webinar, seen a technical presentation, or visited a website that is describing IT, Enterprise GIS, and/or infrastructure services to be managed via cloud platform(s) – often in collaboration with a third-party managed service provider – then it likely sounds familiar. If not, it will be in the very near future!
In our world (by this, naturally, I’m speaking of GIS, Geospatial, and Geo technology), I’ve seen managed services discussed more often recently. Case in point, Esri can manage and host your services in their cloud (see Esri managed cloud services), as can other enterprise solution providers like Esri business partner CloudPoint Geographics and GEO Jobe.
Managed services is the practice of outsourcing on a proactive basis management responsibilities and functions and a strategic method intended to improve operations and cut expenses. ( Wikipedia)
Recently, GEO Jobe shared details of their GEOPowered Cloud managed services. COO David Hansen (@dhansen601) described this as follows, “Host your ArcGIS Enterprise license using our GEOPowered Cloud Managed Services. It’s all the power of ArcGIS Enterprise with none of the hardware hassle. We set it up for you, and you use it how you want!” Hansen notes how, for the customer, this means 100% access to all the power of ArcGIS Enterprise leveraging Amazon EC2 technology combined with access to our experts (setup and support). Yes indeed, this means you don’t have to wear multiple hats and also be an AWS expert; that’s where David and the team of experts comes in.
When asked what does the client/customer need to get started, Hansen comments, “All you have to bring to the table is the required software licensing for the solutions you wish to implement.”
