Managed and co-managed IT refer to different types of relationships that customers can have with their IT providers.
- Managed IT:
- Hands-off support: The IT provider handles everything, including 24/7 monitoring, security and support.
- Best for: Companies without internal IT teams or those who want complete care from a trusted partner.
- Co-Managed IT:
- Teamwork approach: You share IT responsibilities with a provider for specific needs (e.g. special projects or security needs). The provider will fill in the gaps left by your internal IT team.
- Best for: Companies with existing IT teams or resources seeking targeted support or specialized expertise.
