Carefully Deciding From Managed Services

By Edward Benton

Business owners often find themselves dealing with various challenges in keeping their operations efficient and profitable. Many of the challenges that owners face are focused on the inability to manage all aspects of the operation on an individual level which typically leads to lack of profit and major issues that must be overcome in order to move forward. Any owner that is facing some kind of complication with any phase of their operations should know the basics of selecting from managed services.

A managed service provider offers the expertise and personnel required to help companies deal with their operational deficiencies. Most owners are interested in this form of professional attention when trying to feel certain their difficulties are worked through appropriately while being able to create as much profit as possible. The hiring decisions made from the various companies are often quite difficult to make when needed.

People that are focused on this kind of assistance have a multitude of options to sort through. Most people are unaware of all that is needed when attempting to be certain their needs are successfully managed. The right selection is often quite easy when various considerations are carefully weighted.

Testimonials are among the most noted facets of insight offered to anyone making this decision. The testimonials that have been created by former clients are among the most noted facets of insight offered to anyone trying to determine what professionals are equipped to provide the best solutions. Selecting from the providers that have received the largest number of recommendations are often the safest to consider.

The actual needs of the business should also be focused on when making this selection. Each business is reliant on a specific kind of oversight and guidance at various stages of their operations which can be complicated to weigh in when being assured issues are sorted through in a comprehensive manner. Matching the needs of the company to what is offered from the provider is helpful in making sure the election made is the most appropriate.

The format of guidance that is offered from the company is an essential part of this process as well. Guidance formats are quite varied among companies and can be challenging to weigh in when trying to make sure that the most convenient solutions are actually uncovered. Virtual or direct guidance considerations should be carefully weighted when available.

Obtaining access to short and long term solutions is also quite pertinent in this process. Many companies are project based and only provide short term solutions to clients while others are more permanent and guide owners through longer term complications. Obtaining both kinds of guidance is helpful in avoiding lacking results.

Deciding from managed services is also inclusive of a pricing assessment. Businesses are now commonly dealing with margin issues and are unable to spend the cash needed to make this kind of hiring decision. The lowest priced solutions that are offered with the best improvements help owners make the best decision in the end.

Another Visitor This Time from New Zealand

I have just had visitors last week from Sydney, Australia, but at the same time, another friendly chap from New Zealand has contacted me through email, telling me that he is stopping by Kuala Lumpur on this weekend, and asked if he could join in my shutter therapy session. As usual, I attack the streets on Sunday mornings, and it was my greatest pleasure to have yet another visitor from abroad to join my street shooting session. We met up with Tom from New Zealand at Masjid Jamek, together with the usual suspects, we ate light breakfast, and braved the streets of Jalan Masjid India and of course, my all time favourite, Chow Kit, KL. 

I found out that Tom was not exactly new to Malaysia, and he has been here at least once a year for many, many years. He has grown to love the local culture and food, and I was surprised when he told me that he loves "belacan" !! Belacan is some sort of sauce made of thick paste based on prawn, which has very strong smell, and not many non-locals can take it. The fact that Tom loves belacan, speaks some local dialect, including basic Malay, was truly something I did not anticipate at all. Tom uses Olympus PEN system, and just recently acquired the lovely Panasonic 14mm F2.5 lens, and he was all out to give the lens a test in this shooting session. Chow Kit area was rather new to Tom, so it was indeed a great place to explore local people, culture and food as well.

The sun was harsh in the morning, and the sky was clear. Our walk was quite a long one, starting from Masjid Jamek, walking through the small streets of Jalan Masjid India, leading to Chow Kit territories. The final target was the wet market, and I was delighted to find Tom loving that place. I believe if you truly want to see a lot of things about Malaysia, you have got to at least go into one of the wet markets, there is so much to see, touch and smell (not all things smell good, but still a must try). The market is so alive, full, of people, buzzing with activities, and the local produce on sale there, vegetables were so vibrant in colours and variety, one can get lost shooting that alone. There are of course many other things to explore, and we did spend some time in the market. 

Since this was a "be Toms guide and show him around" session, I was not fully focused on shooting, hence the photos in this entry were not shot in my best condition. Nonetheless, I was not too stressed or pressured about this, because the main thing that I had in mind was to make sure Tom had some good shots to bring home to, and by doing so, I surely have good subjects to photograph myself. Indeed, Chow Kit never disappoints me, and I always return with plenty of good photographs. 

All images in this entry were taken with Olympus DSLR E-5 and Zuiko Lenses: 11-22mm F2.8-3.5, 50mm F2 macro and 25mm F2.8 pancake, unless otherwise mentioned.

The people here are genuine, they are real. That is the reason why I like this place so much, rarely can anyone find a place where all the major races come together, and do what they do everyday, being themselves. This is Malaysia at its most natural state, away from modernization, away from steel and glass structures. When they smile, they truly smile to you, and everyone is very friendly. Tom did point something out to me that I have not exactly thought of before, the culture in Malaysia is very different from those that are found in other countries. People here are generally very approachable, and you have no problem striking up a conversation with anyone, hence it is only natural that you make contact, and talk to the people you photograph. It is the culture here to shine your generous smile, and be courteous among one another. 

The very "strict and pure" street photography rules were not invented in Malaysia, but in western countries where situations on the streets may be completely different, and some places privacy is highly prioritized, and people get paranoid when you point your camera at them. What I am doing may not exactly qualify as street photography by the rules, but I have been capturing Malaysian culture on the streets, and I believe that is more important, because I was shooting what was real, and what was TRUE. I did not "change the shooting conditions" just in order to fit into the categories of "what street photography should have been". Yes, it is not difficult to shoot real street photography where the subjects should not be posed, and the scenes should be completely undisturbed, but that is completely the opposite of what Malaysia represents. To truly capture the essence of the local Malaysian streets, you have got to establish that friendliness of the people here, the willingness to connect, the generosity of smiles (hence I have a lot of smiling portraits) and the kindness to strike up a conversation. You have got to represent what was there, and not twist it around to suit what you thought was right in the books of street photography. I would rather shoot what I felt was right in my heart, and show the world what Malaysians are.

Some street photographers said that they prefer their portrait subjects not to smile because it reveals more character, I disagree with that !! When my subjects smile, their emotion just bursts out of the frame, and that is exactly what I wanted. They smiled, because they wanted to smile, and I did not ask them to. If that is NOT natural, I do not know what is. Smile is probably the most human thing for anyone to do, and it is a universal language that transcends all kind of barriers.

It was great having you with us Tom !!

Roast Pork for Lunch. *slurp

After shooting, we walked (quite a distance) to Dang Wangi, and had lunch at a Hainanese Kopitiam, Yut Kee. We had their famous Roast Pork, and the food was heavenly after hours of shooting under Malaysian hot sun. 

I surely hope Tom has had a great experience on local Malaysian streets. More importantly, I hope he has got good shots. 

On a separate note, Olympus OM-D E-M5 is already available in many countries by now. How do you find the E-M5 so far? If you already have one, I want to hear from you !!

Night Shooting with a Visitor from Brisbane Australia

About a week ago, a stranger added me on Facebook and asked me for the recommended place to develop film and digital scans in KL. Since I have almost zero knowledge on film photography, I asked around some of my friends (amazingly many of them) who do shoot film, and I gave the preferred shop for film development to him. On late last Saturday, he messaged me again through Facebook, saying that he went to Chow Kit earlier on the day, and he has sent his film for development. I was shocked when I found out he was at Chow Kit, because on that very same Saturday morning I was also shooting there with my friends !!

Shaun (now no longer a stranger) from Brisbane, Australia is a very dedicated Olympus shooter, he has been shooting with Olympus, starting from the OM4-Ti days, and when Olympus went digital, he has had almost tried and owned all the incarnations of 4/3 system DSLR bodies, going all the way back to the first generation E-300. It was indeed very refreshing to see another person so crazy into Olympus stuff. He also had recently acquired the OMD, which unfortunately had to be sent away to Olympus Service Center for servicing (something is wrong with the sensor, producing only horizontal lines), but the good news was, Olympus Malaysia was very kind to offer him help, though the OMD was purchased in Australia. Another great fact that I found out about Shaun was that his favourite gear setup was the Olympus DSLR E-5 and the beautiful Zuiko Digital 50mm F2 macro, which happens to be my staple weapon of choice these days on the streets. He strongly commented that he has spent about ONE full year shooting with just the E-5 and the 50mm, and he had produced many amazing photographs with the setup during his travel, as well as his underwater adventures. 

Please check out Shauns beautiful blog here: http://www.footlessfish.com

Knowing that Shaun loves street shooting and he is an Olympus fan much like myself, we met up at Pavilion last night, together with some of my usual shooting friends, Luke and Kelvin, and of course, we had a brief shutter therapy session at Bukit Bintang streets. 

All images were taken with Olympus DSLR E-5 and Zuiko Digital 50mm Macro F2

I also found out that Shaun has been to Malaysia very often during his work trips, and he has spent a great deal exploring the local places and food. That saved me a lot of trouble introducing him around, and we went right on to shooting. He carried around with his two camera bodies, the PEN E-PL2 and the film OM4-Ti (since his OMD was in service center). It was my first time seeing an Olympus OM4-Ti, and my goodness, it looked so much like the OMD E-M5, which based its design largely on the OM4-Ti. 

Shaun shall be away but he will return again next week, and I look forward to bringing him into some of my usual street hunting grounds. Thanks Shaun for being there with us, and we shall attack the streets again soon.
