What Is Co-Managed IT and Is It Right for Your Business?

What Is Co-Managed IT?

Co-managed IT is a flexible partnership between your internal IT team and a Managed Service Provider (MSP). Instead of outsourcing everything, you get strategic support where you need it most—whether that’s cybersecurity, helpdesk, cloud management, or compliance.

It’s not about replacing your team. It’s about empowering them.

Who Is It For?

Co-managed IT is ideal for various types of organizations:

• Growing organizations that need more IT capacity but aren’t ready to hire full-time staff.

• Internal IT teams that are stretched thin and need backup or specialized expertise.

• Healthcare clinics, nonprofits, and logistics firms that want enterprise-grade support without enterprise costs.

  
  

Benefits of Co-Managed IT

Co-managed IT offers numerous advantages:

• Flexibility: Scale services up or down as your needs change.

• Cost Control: Avoid the overhead of hiring while still expanding capabilities.

• Scalability: Add new tools, security layers, or cloud services without overloading your team.

• Continuity: Your internal team stays in control, while Tamar fills in the gaps.

  
  

Real-World Examples

Let’s look at some real-world examples of how co-managed IT works:

• A church network with one IT coordinator uses Tamar for cybersecurity and cloud backups.

• A multi-location clinic relies on Tamar for HIPAA compliance and remote monitoring, while their in-house tech handles day-to-day support.

• A warehouse operation partners with Tamar to manage network upgrades and endpoint protection during peak seasons.

  
  

How to Get Started

Getting started with co-managed IT is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Assess your current IT capacity: Take a close look at what’s working and what’s not. Understanding your current situation is crucial.

2. Identify gaps: Look for areas where you need help, such as compliance, security, helpdesk, or cloud services.

3. Schedule a discovery call with Tamar: This is your opportunity to explore a tailored co-managed solution that fits your needs.
