Co-Managed IT
A NEW And Superior Approach To IT Support
Co-managed IT, also called Co-MITs, is a customized set of ongoing IT services, support and tools we offer to companies with IT departments to help “co-manage” all aspects of IT support. Not only does this save your organization money (usually between 10% and 50%), but it also enables your IT team to be more effective and efficient, giving you greater peace of mind, better IT support and protections against downtime, cybercrime, ransomware and IT-related compliance violations.
It is NOT
- It is NOT about taking over your IT leader’s job or replacing your entire IT department.
- It is NOT a one-off project-based relationship where an IT company would limit their support to an “event” and then leave your team behind to try and support IT
- It’s also NOT just monitoring your network for alarms and problems, which still leaves your IT department to scramble and fix the problems.
It IS
- It IS a flexible partnership where we customize a set of ongoing services and software tools specific to the needs of your IT person or department that fills in the gaps, supports their specific needs and gives you far superior IT support and services at a much lower cost.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY GROWING
COMPANIES ARE MOVING TO A CO-MANAGED IT APPROACH:
- A significant reduction in IT-related problems, faster support and greater productivity for everyone. We don’t replace your IT staff; we make them BETTER by filling in the support gaps, giving them professional-grade tools, and training and assisting them where they need help. That means your entire office sees a significant reduction in IT issues, making everyone more productive.
- You don’t have to add to your head count. Finding, hiring and retaining TOP talent is brutally difficult and expensive. With co-managed IT, you don’t have the cost, overhead or difficulty in staffing a large IT team. We don’t take vacations or sick leave. You won’t lose us to maternity leave or an illness, or because we have to relocate with our spouse or we’ve found a better job. You can flex the support you need as your company’s needs change.
- Your IT team gets instant access to the same powerful IT automation and management tools we use to make them more efficient. These tools will enable them to prioritize and resolve your employees’ problems faster, improve communication and make your IT department FAR more effective and efficient. These are software tools your company could not reasonably afford on its own, but they are included with our co-managed IT program.
- You have instant access to “9-1-1” IT support. In the unexpected event your IT leader was unable to perform their job OR if a disaster were to strike, we could instantly step up to provide support and prevent the wheels from falling off.
- You get a TEAM of smart, experienced IT pros. No one IT person can know it all. Because you’re a co-managed IT client, your IT lead will have access to a deep bench of expertise to figure out the best solution to a problem, to get advice on a situation or error they’ve never encountered before and to help decide what technologies are most appropriate for you (without having to do the work of investigating them ALL).
- You’ll stop worrying (or worry less!) about falling victim to ransomware, a cyber-attack, outage or data-erasing event. We can assist your IT leader in implementing next-gen cyber security protections to prevent or significantly mitigate the damages of a ransomware attack or security breach. We can also assist in providing end-user awareness training and help you initiate controls to prevent employees from doing things that would compromise the security and integrity of your network and data. Critical proactive maintenance will actually get done!
- We provide your IT leader and team free workshops and training. We offer ongoing workshops and webinars for our co-managed IT clients so they’re more informed on critical topics such as cyber security, disaster recovery, compliance regulations, best practices and more.
- NO LONG-TERM CONTRACTS. We’re a flexible workforce you can expand and contract as needed.
- Keeping IT knowledge current is EXPENSIVE. Your in-house IT staff are busy supporting your business, you cannot afford to send your in-house IT personal away to attend multiple industry training, certification and events that take place all over USA and Canada every single year. Failure to maintain current tools, knowledge and skills leaves your business at risk of a major breach. We send our people to these events, we keep our knowledge, tools and certifications current so you do not have to worry about this, or the expense of sending your own people to obtain these.
