If your IT team feels stretched thin, you’re not alone. Between managing critical updates, fending off cybersecurity threats, and driving business innovation, the workload can quickly become overwhelming. And when time is consumed by routine tasks, long-term goals often fall by the wayside.
Co-managed IT solutions offer a practical way to bridge the gap. By pairing your internal team’s expertise with trusted external resources, this collaborative approach tackles IT challenges head-on. Omega Systems has seen firsthand how this partnership transforms organizations like AAA Central Penn, enabling them to scale operations, improve efficiency, and strengthen security.
It’s no secret that IT teams are under immense pressure. Cybersecurity threats are growing more sophisticated, compliance requirements are tightening, and managing complex infrastructures demands specialized knowledge. Yet many organizations are operating with limited IT resources – and the problem is only getting worse.
Consider this: the global IT skills gap continues to widen. By 2025, experts predict that less than half of quantum computing jobs will be filled, and demand for skills in cybersecurity, AI, and cloud computing far outpaces supply. For understaffed teams, this means more strain, higher burnout risk, and less time for innovation.
This is where co-managed IT steps in. Instead of leaving your team to face these challenges alone, consider a mutually beneficial partnership that can help you:
Co-managed IT isn’t about outsourcing; it’s about collaboration. With a tailored approach – and with the right partner – your team retains control while gaining the resources and expertise to thrive.
AAA Central Penn knows what it’s like to feel stretched thin. Misaligned ticket prioritization processes, mounting cybersecurity concerns, and growing compliance demands were taking a toll on their IT operations. While they already relied on Omega Systems for infrastructure hosting and 24×7 help desk support, they needed a more comprehensive solution.
Working closely with Hector Lopez, Vice President of IT at AAA Central Penn, Omega Systems helped develop a co-managed IT strategy to tackle their most pressing challenges.

As Hector Lopez shared:
“We don’t have the luxury of building and hiring a 30-person security team to watch our systems day in and day out… but our relationship with Omega Systems puts us at that caliber and flexes a muscle that we otherwise couldn’t afford or build on our own.”
This partnership didn’t just address immediate pain points – it gave AAA Central Penn the tools to scale and succeed long-term.
