Transition your IT infrastructure
from Managed Services to Shared Services

Many businesses are making a moved from managed services to shared services, as they enjoy the benefits of cost reduction associated with centralizing tasks and managing the delivery within their organization. That, coupled with the flexibility to compare their practices with those they choose to outsource, yielding the best service to their company is the reason Derex is excited to provide this service to support their transitions.


The difference between managed services and shared services is simple :

  • Shared Services - IT org becomes the internal service provider to the rest of the company; common IT functions are consolidated, rather than spread across and enterprise in siloed systems
  • Managed Services - Combined business processes and IT outsourcing are all done under one roof—somewhere other than the company—but with one outsourced vendor. Most businesses are leaning towards shared services, as they find it beneficial in identifying the strengths of their internal IT departments, and value of their services. New shared service clients also enjoy the presence of an internal SLA, which is offered to manage the progression of the transition.
