How does co-managed IT work?

Co-managed IT provides the best of both worlds: control over IT strategy and backup when you need extra support.

We can handle business IT support functions, such as network monitoring, backups, and helpdesk support, while your team focuses on the big-picture goals that drive your business forward. It’s flexible, transparent, and easy to scale up or down as your needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between managed IT services and co-managed IT support?

Fully managed services replace your IT team entirely. From day-to-day support to long-term strategy, they are responsible for all IT. Co-managed IT support, on the other hand, is a partnership. Your internal IT team continues to manage certain aspects and the strategy, while your external team brings additional expertise and tools to support your IT team. We help add to and improve your team’s capacity, not replace it. Contact us to discuss your IT support needs.

Is the co-managed IT model cost-effective?

Yes, it can be a cost-effective solution because you’re only paying for what you need when you need it. Outsourcing helps reduce the overhead costs that come with hiring additional staff, while still ensuring your business has efficient and secure IT.

Do co-managed IT services take over my entire IT setup?

No, your existing IT team stays in control. Co-managed IT providers fill gaps where you need help, such as after-hours monitoring, project support, or access to licensed tools. Your team leads strategic planning and decides how much or how little involvement you want from the provider.

Can I choose which support services to get help with?

Absolutely. Every co-managed plan is tailored to your needs. Pick what you want help with and keep the rest in-house.

What are the benefits of the co-managed service model with MSP Blueshift?

We don’t just offer IT services. We become part of your team. You’ll get proactive support, advanced monitoring, and the flexibility to scale as your business grows.
