The introduction of the internet created new opportunities and moved the IT sector in new directions. A need for problem solvers has emerged due to the expanding internet user population and associated difficulties. Value-added resellers (VAR) and managed service providers (MSP), among other IT solution providers, were involved. They provided the sector with their products and services, including infrastructure management and cloud servers. A vendor who offers solutions to all of your IT demands is known as a solution provider. These MSPs battled not only to get business from small and mid-sized businesses but also to meet all of their clients’ needs with affordable solutions.

What do they have in common?
They have increased the range of potential IT solution options after increasing cloud computing in the IT industry. Today’s solution providers provide on-demand services including desktop as a service (DaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IAAS). The cloud service provider either develops and maintains its own cloud services or suggests (resells) the offerings of a public cloud provider like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure.
An IT solution provider, a value-added reseller, or a managed service provider all offer the same thing under the guise of a solution: they merely resell software, services, and pre-bundled packages. For instance, they will give you the antivirus of any XYZ business if your PC is infected by viruses. Upon putting it into place on your machine, if the product key is not working or you suffer from data loss, the solution provider is not responsible. The same applies to most MSPs as they resell the cloud and infrastructure management services from a public cloud provider. If you face a technical issue, the provider plays the middle man forwarding your concerns to the original service provider while you are rendered helpless. These are not managed security services by any means as they lack the infrastructure to solve or eliminate any potential threats by themselves and rely on the end-managed services network.
These solution providers and MSPs are just selling pre-bundled package solutions designed to attract most consumers and solve their percentage problems. The point to note is that no two clients are the same. Small-scale and mid-scale enterprises have their own set of requirements and issues. They switch to managed services companies as they are the most efficient options in the market compared to setting up your own data center infrastructure management (DCIM). Conclusively, the IT managed service companies follow the product-centric approach to design a product and sell it to as many people as possible rather than the customer-centric approach to design a specific product for one particular client.
