What Is Co-Managed IT?
Co-managed IT services involve keeping an IT staff in-house but also adding to those internal resources with outsourced services from a managed service provider (MSP). Co-managed services can offer the best of both worlds if your business is large enough to support an internal IT team: You decide how much you want in-house and what you want from a MSP.
Here are some of the possibilities:
- Your in-house IT team handles day-to-day IT maintenance while leaning on the expertise of a managed service provider for assistance and advice.
- Your MSP becomes your outsourced CTO (sometimes referred to as a virtual chief information security officer or VCISO). These strategies are carried out and your systems are managed by your own IT team.
- Your IT leadership is in-house but directs an outsourced managed IT team to execute those strategies.
