Managed IT: what you need to know
Managed IT services (infogérance) means entrusting your IT infrastructure management to a specialized provider. For an SME with 10 to 200 workstations, it's the most reliable way to access CIO-level expertise without hiring internally. 24/7 monitoring, preventive maintenance, fleet management, user support: a managed IT contract covers all standard IT needs.

What are managed IT services for an SME?
Managed IT services involve outsourcing your complete IT management — servers, workstations, network, backups, security — to a specialized provider. For SMEs with 5 to 200 workstations, this replaces a full-time IT manager with a comprehensive, structured service.
How much does a managed IT contract cost?
A managed IT contract for SMEs averages between €50 and €150 per workstation per month depending on scope (ECLAUD IT data, 2025). This includes monitoring, preventive maintenance, support and updates.
