Frequently Asked Questions

What is co-managed IT?

With our co-managed IT services, your team will be strengthened with additional experience, expertise, resources, and support as needed. While your team stays in control, we simply serve as a dependable partner you can turn to when you require extra support.

Co-managed security services are a collaborative partnership that enables us, as the external provider, to work alongside your internal IT department. We share tasks and responsibilities, supplement existing staff with expertise and experience, or fill any service gaps you require.

A co-managed IT partnership reduces your team’s workload by handling routine tasks and ongoing maintenance, allowing your team to focus on business initiatives. While your team retains ownership of your IT, we offer the flexibility and support that can scale up or down as your needs evolve. A co-managed model lowers burnout among small IT teams, offers proactive insights into changing cyber risks, and provides access to advanced tools and training to enhance your team’s skills.

Our team offers a comprehensive range of tools and solutions to help you achieve the best possible results in cybersecurity. With our support, you will experience a smooth process, gain a better understanding of new technologies, and have organized workflows to make tasks more efficient.

Rather than hiring, training, and retaining new staff, co-managed teams provide access to a variety of experiences for IT professionals, with a predictable operational expense (OPEX) model to simplify financial planning and avoid unpredictable costs. For smaller IT departments, this allows you to extend your capabilities, access proactive support and training, and boost efficiency without draining your budget.

Yes, we offer 24/7 support to ensure your systems are protected against cyber attacks, outages, or errors at all times. Our fully available service desk provides your team with quick access to experts whenever needed.
