Hosting a technology department to support IT services is resource-consuming for small businesses. A viable solution is to outsource managed IT service tasks and responsibilities to a Managed Service Provider. MSPs offer industry-specific implementations, high availability, and comprehensive management.
Managed IT services are tasks that are handled by a third party, most commonly in the context of business information technology services. The managed services model is a method of offloading general tasks to an expert in order to reduce costs, improve service quality, or free up internal teams to work on business-specific tasks. A managed service provider (MSP) is a company that provides these service offerings (MSP).
Managed IT services benefit both large and small organizations, as well as new and established businesses. The following are some of the advantages of using managed services:
Managed services can be good for teams that don’t have the time, skills or experience to manage certain business functions on their own. Relying on an expert to provide a service allows your teams to focus on innovation without getting bogged down in routine task-to-solutions.
An MSP can focus on perfecting delivery of their specific service. You can worry less about outages because they are responsible for keeping the service available. Services and IT support are provided under an SLA, so it is clear what to expect from MSPs.
Many managed services are dependent on variable cloud costs. These services can help you save money on personnel and training. It may be less expensive to hire a managed service provider rather than build in-house IT operations. Costs can also be more predictable, which aids in budgeting.
Not all MSPs will offer all kinds of services. An MSP might include all the following services or specialize in just one. Regardless, it’s good to know what infrastructure is available if your business wants to utilize an MSP.
IT managed services providers cover several verticals. ZZ Computer’s diverse background combines knowledge of information technology support and IT consulting services. Here are some industries that should consider investing in IT managed services.
As the healthcare industry evolves and expands into the digital age, it is critical to maintain HIPAA compliance and protect PHI.

Technology provides students with easy access to information, accelerated learning, and enjoyable opportunities to put what they’ve learned into practice. It allows students to explore new subjects and deepen their understanding of complex concepts, which is especially useful in STEM. As data from student records and financial information is stored online or in the cloud, institutions must maintain FERPA compliance.
Government agencies are tasked with paying for tech, too. Managed services providers can house and support systems in order to greatly utilize a local government’s workforce. We work closely with our clients to create and maintain networks that meet Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for security.
E-commerce growth is showing no signs of stopping. Retailers must ensure their data centers have the resilience, security and scalability to handle their business needs. As a managed services provider, we offer 24x7x365 support. We also provide security and regulation expertise surrounding Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
Real estate and property management services would benefit greatly from a managed services provider.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
