Got an IT team? Leverage co-managed IT
Employing a comprehensive IT staff can be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses. If your company has IT staff, they likely wear many hats with too much to do and not enough time to do it. They may be overwhelmed by support tickets and spend their days trying to keep employees happy without time to undertake higher-level projects. If this sounds familiar, taking advantage of a co-managed IT partnership may benefit your organization.
What is co-managed IT? Will existing IT employees lose their jobs?
Co-managed IT is a partnership between your existing IT team and dedicated resources from a managed services provider (MSP). The goal of the partnership is to increase your IT capabilities, efficiency, and agility to help your business achieve its goals. A co-managed IT resource can take on the barrage of support tickets and allow your in-house employees to undertake value-added projects. Or the resource can be employed for a specific area of IT. Each co-managed IT arrangement is tailored to your needs and existing in-house expertise.
Co-managed IT is not a replacement for your in-house IT employees. Resources provided in co-managed IT partnerships are considered force multipliers—they provide complementary skills that help round out your existing IT operation and maximize your existing IT employee investment without bloating your headcount. The goal is to help you streamline day-to-day IT demands so that in-house staff can focus on the overall IT strategy for the organization.
