What is the difference between Break/Fix Services and Managed IT Services?

These are both the two leading models in the area of IT business support. Break/fix is the process of offering IT service support through a fee-for-service model. Under this model, the client is serviced on demand and billed only for that specific service received. Whereas, Managed IT Services refer to the shared responsibility pertaining to the organizations entire ecosystem. Unlike on-demand assistance in break/fix services, MSPs work off-premise to keep the client's systems and networks well maintained, monitored, secured, and updated on time well before the need arises.
