Many organizations are grappling with the scenario of having spent years evolving their digital strategies only to find those good-faith efforts have actually led to inefficient application sprawl, hiring and retainment hurdles, and seemingly insurmountable maintenance challenges. For today’s fast-paced, distributed workforce, cloud deployment is high on the list of IT modernization priorities for competitive enterprises. A recent [Forrester study](/en/resources/analyst-reports/forrester-content-services-tlp) found that 80% of leaders describe their content management strategy as cloud-first, and just 3% of ECM solutions are predicted to be run on-premise by 2025. However, managing a cloud-first strategy can be overwhelming for in-house teams that were either not designed for the task or whose time is needed elsewhere to meet competing business priorities. [Hyland’s Managed Services team](/en/solutions/services/managed-services) specializes in helping our customers find the cloud-enabled success they envision for their Hyland solutions. ### About Hyland’s Managed Services for cloud deployments [Hyland’s Managed Services](/en/solutions/services/managed-services) offers a proactive and predictable approach to the management of your Hyland solutions, including [Hyland Cloud](/en/platform/cloud) deployments.

Hyland’s cloud message has been consistent for years: Deploying your Hyland solution in the cloud allows for increased speed, agility and innovation. This stands true, and with the shift away from office-based work and the advancement in solutions around [automation](/en/platform/process-automation) and [AI](/en/platform/content-intelligence), the cloud’s moment has fully arrived. Today, cloud deployment is table stakes for staying competitive. But that same speed of change also creates a business case for managed services. Let's explore why Hyland customers are opting to offload the complex management of their cloud-based solutions to Hyland’s experts: ### Cloud IT staffing Cloud personnel is notoriously difficult to find and keep on the payroll. With the speed of evolution of cloud computing, it’s a challenge for nontechnology-focused companies to find, bring on and retain top talent. With a managed services model, the challenge dissipates. Hyland’s team of cloud experts takes the intensive task of cloud infrastructure management off your team’s hands. ### Hyland experts for Hyland solutions Managing and optimizing the way your Hyland solutions run in the cloud can be daunting for internal IT teams. With managed services, Hyland solution experts — the best in the world when it comes to document management, workflow and Hyland platform optimizations — assure your solutions are running smoothly, with maximum impact and are ready to adapt to future needs. ### Security and upgrades Hyland Cloud infrastructure adheres to best practices to keep your content secure, but the technical oversight and time required to do so can be difficult to provide for organizations without a large team of cloud and security experts. With Hyland’s Managed Services for cloud, Hyland can monitor the cloud environment and raise flags at potential threats. Additionally, our managed services teams keep upgrades on schedule, so your solutions are as up to date and secure as possible. ### Time for innovation Handing off cloud management responsibilities gives your team the time, attention and energy it needs to innovate for your business priorities. [A recent Forrester study](/en/resources/analyst-reports/forrester-content-services-tlp) found that 63% of ECM decision-makers are investing in innovation imperatives, and with Hyland’s Managed Services for cloud, innovation can thrive when time-consuming administration is no longer taking up resources.
