Microsoft Dynamics Managed Services
Beyond basic support
Managed Services vs. basic support: How are they different?
While there are many differences between the two, the primary difference is that basic support, also referred to as break fix support,
refers to fixing an issue after it has occurred, while Managed Services includes predicting a
possible disruption and taking proactive actions to remediate it.
Basic Support
- Can be availed in-house or be outsourced
- Ensures uptime of Dynamics applications
- Dynamics applications stay current and optimized
- Regular Microsoft updates
- Platform advisory services
- Guidance on Dynamics licensing
