An IT team of one
When Your IT Team Is One Person
Co-managed IT doesn’t replace the person who knows your business. It gives them the bench they’ve never had.
The situation
What One-Person IT Looks Like
Plenty of good businesses run on one IT person. They’re usually excellent, and they’re always exposed.
They know every system, every workaround, and every password. They’re also on call permanently, can’t take a real vacation, have nobody to think a hard problem through with, and spend the whole week on tickets rather than the projects that would stop the tickets from happening. It works until they’re sick, on leave, or gone. Then the business finds out how much of its operation lives in one person’s head.
How we approach it
How Co-Managed IT Works
We design it with the person already doing the job, and they set the split.
One Shared Queue
Your IT person works inside our ticketing system alongside our team, so there’s one view of the work instead of two.
You Draw the Line
Some businesses hand us overflow and after-hours only. Others keep the daily relationship and use us for security and projects.
Coverage That Holds
A queue that doesn’t pile up during a vacation, and weekend and after-hours calls covered, so your IT person can actually be off.
A Bench to Ask
When something unfamiliar comes up, there are engineers across four markets who’ve probably seen it before.

Each site gets set up by whoever is there at the time, so nothing matches and growth keeps making it worse.

A regulator, an insurer, or a large client hands you a list that assumes you already have someone whose job is security, and nobody on the team holds that role.
