Extend Your IT Team
with Co-Managed IT

Take your current IT management system to the next level with CIO Solutions co-managed IT services.

Empower your IT staff to focus on their areas of expertise and rely on our team for whatever’s missing. 

Round Out Your Existing IT Department

We extend your IT team

Depending on your current technology needs and business size, you may already have an internal team in place to manage your IT. 

This may be a support team on staff that fields daily IT requests or an IT administrator who oversees and maintains the network.

As you continue to develop your IT solutions gaps may become apparent.

We can offset that and fill those gaps to help your business develop a complete system of IT management!

CO-MANAGED IT 

Sometimes, rather than spreading your IT department across all responsibilities of managing IT, it makes sense to off-load a specific responsibility to a trusted partner.

This allows both teams, yours and ours, to focus on what they excel at.

WHAT CAN BE DELEGATED? 

Start by identifying which tasks your internal resources excel at. Then identify areas that they are frustrated or overwhelmed with.  

Maybe end-user support is taking up all their time and they can’t focus on maintaining the network (or vice versa).

Identify areas where there is a lack of clarity or instability. 

Maybe backups or security are areas of concern. 

These are areas where you could benefit from Co-Managed IT. 

OPTIONS FOR

Patching

We offer options for enterprise tools and business intelligence dashboards to make both parties more productive and provide equal visibility 

Are your next IT steps unclear?

Companies with 
75-300 users
and an 

internal IT staff of 1-4
commonly reach this point of introspection regarding their IT services. 

That’s where we come in!  

There are different ways a business might find itself at this crossroads.

It could be that the internal IT team has hit a point of overwhelm. Or that the leadership has identified IT as critical to company progress but isn’t sure how to move it forward. 

Whatever the discomfort, there’s a common trend. The feeling of uncertainty in the IT plan or system.

This can be paralyzing- not knowing if there are major gaps in the system vs minor structural issues, and not wanting to compromise the current IT plan by making overhauling changes.
