Co-Managed Services is an IT model that blends the convenience and strategic framework of an internal IT manager with the support, tools, and comprehensive knowledge of a “behind the scenes” Managed Service Provider.
Key Benefits of Co-Managed Services
Improve Security and Reduced Burden
Co-managed services and partnerships come with access to the latest technology and IT best practices. This reduces the burden on your in-house staff of having to stay abreast of emerging IT security threats and ensures that your company has the best protection possible.
Increase Speed and Performance
With a co-managed partnership, we can create efficiencies by streamlining your back-office IT functions. We can reduce redundancies across systems and speed up system updates, improving network performance.
Lower Costs
Co-managed services will allow your IT person to maintain autonomy and accomplish more with fewer staff members while keeping costs below regular managed-service contracts. Because most co-managed IT partnerships are for a fixed fee, they offer better predictability in terms of fixed expenses. Additionally, we bear the expense of all the latest and greatest tools so you can sit back and relax.
What Do Comprehensive Co-Managed Services Look Like?
We have developed a platform that allows us to delegate access to dashboards and portals to allow you to manage your users and devices. Co-ManageCentric is a comprehensive set of Integrated Tools, Software, and Services for Small IT Departments.
