Co-managed IT

Your IT rests on one person, and stops when they are out.

  1. Network & Wi-Fi, which this is about.
  2. Laptops & EDR, which this is about.
  3. Backups, which this is about.
  4. Email & DMARC.
  5. Logins & MFA, which this is about.
  6. Files & access.
  7. Staff & training.
  8. A cyber insurer and clients ask about these layers.
Co-managed IT works on Network & Wi-Fi, Laptops & EDR, Backups and Logins & MFA.

What's included

  • Cover when they are out, sick or on leave
  • A second pair of hands for projects
  • They keep admin access and the lead
  • A monthly review together

Before and after

The hand-offs the project removes.

  1. Today, by hand: a request is printed, re-typed into the spreadsheet and emailed on, about 6 hours a week.
  2. After the project: one request form, one staff directory and access set by role, about 1 hour a week.
An example: setting up a new hire today, by hand, on the left, and after the project on the right. Re-typing into the spreadsheet is the step the project removes first.
