You have an IT person. Maybe even a small team. They're good—but they're overwhelmed. They can't be experts in everything. And you can't afford to hire specialists for every need. This is where co-managed IT comes in.

What Co-Managed IT Is

Your internal IT stays in control. They know your business, your users, your systems. A co-managed partner provides:

•       24/7 Coverage: After-hours support without hiring night staff

•       Specialized Skills: Security, compliance, cloud—expertise on demand

•       Overflow Capacity: Help when your team is swamped

•       Strategic Input: vCIO perspective alongside your internal vision

 

Good Candidates for Co-Managed IT

•       50-500 employees

•       1-5 person IT team

•       IT director drowning in tactical work

•       Security or compliance gaps you can't fill internally

•       After-hours support needs

 

The 62% Problem

62% of companies with internal IT teams report needing additional resources. Internal teams are 40% understaffed on average. Co-managed IT bridges the gap without replacing what works.
