Co-Managed IT Services

Co-managed IT services involve a partnership between an organization’s internal IT team and an external managed service provider (MSP). This model allows businesses to supplement their in-house IT capabilities with the expertise and resources of an MSP. Co-managed IT services can include help desk support, cybersecurity, network management, and strategic IT planning. This approach provides flexibility, allowing organizations to scale their IT support based on current needs and fill any skill gaps within their internal team. By collaborating with an MSP, businesses can access specialized knowledge, advanced technologies, and best practices that may not be available internally. In addition to co-managed options, organizations may also explore fully managed IT services, where the MSP takes complete responsibility for IT functions, or cloud managed IT services, which leverage cloud technologies for enhanced efficiency. Co-managed IT services enable organizations to focus on their core business activities while ensuring that their IT infrastructure is well-managed and secure. Effective co-managed IT services require clear communication, defined roles and responsibilities, and a strong partnership between the internal IT team and the MSP.
