Where co-managed IT fits
01

Project backlog competes with the daily service queue.

Internal IT teams are often asked to keep users moving, maintain infrastructure, and advance planned initiatives at the same time. The result is a backlog that grows even when the team is working hard.

02

Senior technical coverage is hard to keep available.

When complex tickets, infrastructure issues, or after-hours needs depend on the same few people, support routes can become inconsistent and key staff lose time for higher-value planning.

03

Responsibilities can drift.

Without a clear co-managed plan, monitoring, patching, user support, vendor management, and project-support ownership blur across internal and ACS teams.

Key capabilities

Help desk and defined on-site coverage

Basic user support through advanced technical escalation, integrated with shared ticketing workflows or ACS tools, plus onsite support when planned with your team.

Shared operating foundation

Shared operating building blocks.

Shared service desk

Define which requests stay with your team, which route to ACS, and how issues are triaged, routed, and reported.

Tool-stack management

Integrate ConnectWise, Addigy, IT Glue, Passportal, documentation, remote access, monitoring, patching, and device tools around the service approach.

Operational reporting

Establish ticket, environment, infrastructure, and service-review reporting so both teams can see what is happening.

Project-support work

Migrations, deployments, office moves, cabling management, buildouts, major architecture work, and other projects can be planned alongside the co-managed working model when they are identified early.
