Co-Managed IT

When Co-Managed IT Makes Sense

Too small or overworked: Due to increased business demands, IT departments can easily become overworked. Also, when an IT employee is out of the office, the organization is usually not able to replace them for the absence. Hiring new employees can prove to be costly and time-consuming. This is especially the case if the position is just needed temporarily. That’s when managed IT services come in. You get to hire an expert for the desired time you need while reducing employee downtime.

New projects: Instead of hiring new internal employees, outsourcing portions of the job is the most efficient solution. Your resources are already stressed under the current work pace. With co-managed IT, you can use the services as long or as short as you need. The flexible and customizable options allow you to optimize productivity while controlling costs. This helps your team get adjusted to the pace and nature of your new projects. 

Knowledge Gap: Trained technicians are equipped with the latest IT trends and knowledge. Sometimes, an internal IT team needs up-to-date assistance. This helps you bridge the gap and perform the job in a timely manner. It could cost unnecessary time for your IT employees to learn new software and network practices. With co-managed IT, your team can get acquainted with new practices and transition into the future. 

What does managed IT services include 

Information security: the practice of preventing unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, inspection, recording, or destruction of information. Security includes common threats such as viruses, trojans, hacking, keystroke loggers, denial of service, and especially nasty ransomware. Security can also address employee theft such as downloading customer information and emailing personal financial information. 

Network Security: the process of taking physical and software preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure. This creates a secure platform for computers, users, and programs to perform their permitted critical functions within a secure environment.
