One of the key benefits of this approach is how cost-effective this hybrid approach can be.

Co-managed IT is the best of both worlds – you retain your in-house expertise while gaining access to an external team of skilled IT professionals.

Benefits of Co-managed IT Support From Techcare

Co-managed IT support is a powerful way to get more from your team by working in tandem with an outsourced team of professionals. We handle the overflow while your in-house team retains their core responsibilities, providing your business with a comprehensive service that spans from day-to-day support to cybersecurity strategy.

Round-the-clock support & maintenance

Our out-of-hours services ensure you are protected every hour of the day and every day of the year. We deliver 24/7 response and rapid support, supporting your IT team to maintain uptime, perform upgrades and ensure your business is protected.

  • Around-the-clock support for urgent issues
  • Ongoing maintenance services
  • Upgrades and improvements out of hours
  • Maintain optimal business uptime
  • Stay up-to-date in line with Cyber Essentials

Strategic focus

Give your team the breathing room to focus on the future of the business, and let us handle everything else. Maintaining a strategic focus is challenging when day-to-day tasks require the attention of your in-house team. We provide support in the areas that matter most to give your in-house team the time to focus on strategic planning.

  • A flexible outsourced team that provides cover for all IT services
  • Scalable support at the level you need, when you need it
  • Allow your internal team to focus on their strengths

Back-up and Coverage

Co-managed IT is a practical way to ensure you have comprehensive coverage for IT requirements regardless of holidays or sickness. Our team is ready to step up to handle anything you require, including supporting day-to-day operations, providing helpdesk support and keeping projects moving. We deliver full wrap-around cover for your skilled employees.

  • Coverage for short-term and medium-term leave
  • Flexible service covering a range of roles, from support coverage to specialist expertise
  • A reliable back-up for sickness and sudden absence

Cost Efficiency

Working with an external company to supplement your existing team is a cost-effective method to gain expertise in more than one way. The flexible scalability means you have access to IT support on your terms, meeting temporary ebbs and flows in demand, without the ongoing cost of a permanent hire.

  • A cost-effective alternative to hiring in-house
  • Ideal for variable IT requirements
  • Access to niche expertise for as long as you want it

Co-managed IT support is cost-effective in comparison to hiring additional staff, but still resolves short-staffing issues and provides additional brain power.

Teams are freed up so they can focus on strategic initiatives, and the rest of your employees still receive top-notch IT support so they can get on with their day-to-day tasks.

FAQs

Co-managed IT Support, answered

What is co-managed IT support?

Co-managed IT support is a partnership between your internal IT team and an external IT service provider. It’s designed to complement your in-house expertise by providing additional resources, tools, and support to ensure smooth and efficient IT operations.

Who typically benefits from co-managed IT support?

Businesses with existing IT teams that need extra help, such as handling a growing workload, filling knowledge gaps, or covering for staff absence. It's ideal for companies looking to enhance their IT capabilities without fully outsourcing, so internal teams can focus on overall technology strategy and transformation projects.

How does co-managed IT differ from fully outsourced IT?

In fully outsourced IT, the external provider manages all aspects of your IT infrastructure. Co-managed IT, on the other hand, works alongside your internal team, offering support for specific tasks, projects, or areas where additional expertise is needed.

Will we lose control over our IT systems?

No, co-managed IT allows you to retain full control over your IT environment. The external provider, such as Techcare, would work as an extension of your team, offering support where needed without overriding your existing processes or systems.

Can co-managed IT help with cybersecurity?

Absolutely. Co-managed IT providers offer advanced cybersecurity tools and expertise, including threat detection, firewall management, and vulnerability assessments, to help protect your business from cyber threats.

Is co-managed IT scalable as our business grows?

Yes, co-managed IT is highly scalable. You can adjust the level of support based on your business’s needs, whether that’s handling a major project, expanding your IT infrastructure, or scaling back during quieter periods.

How long does it take to implement co-managed IT support?

The implementation timeline varies depending on your specific needs but typically takes a few weeks. This includes onboarding, system assessments, and setting up workflows to ensure seamless collaboration.

What types of businesses need co-managed IT support?

Co-managed IT support is beneficial for many types of businesses. We have a wide range of specialist knowledge in numerous industries, enabling us to adapt to your specific requirements.

What if we just need help with one IT project?

If you require ad-hoc IT services for a single project, our team at Techcare can help. We also offer co-managed services as a limited-time solution alongside long-term partnerships. Speak to our team directly to discuss your needs.
