Managed IT Services handle all aspects of a company’s IT needs, effectively acting as an outsourced IT department. In contrast, Co-Managed IT works alongside your internal IT team, providing support in areas where your in-house team may need additional resources or expertise. It’s a more collaborative approach, allowing businesses to retain control over specific IT operations.

Businesses often find that their internal IT teams need specialized skills for specific projects. Co-Managed IT provides a cost-effective way to supplement your team’s capabilities with expert support, ensuring all IT operations run smoothly. This is especially useful for handling complex cybersecurity, cloud migration, or compliance management tasks.

Absolutely. Cybersecurity is a critical area where Co-Managed IT services can significantly strengthen defenses. We implement advanced security measures such as multi-factor authentication, firewalls, real-time monitoring, and regular audits. This helps protect your business from cyberattacks, data breaches, and ransomware.

At WatchTower IT Solutions, we understand that each business has unique needs. We work closely with your internal IT team to assess where additional support is required, whether for routine tasks, specialized projects, project management, vCISO services, or compliance.

Yes! Co-Managed IT is ideal for supporting remote teams. With our cloud-based tools and secure remote access solutions, we can ensure that your employees stay connected and productive from any location. This is especially useful for companies transitioning to hybrid or fully remote work models.

While Co-Managed IT services can benefit businesses of all types, industries such as finance, healthcare, law, and retail often see the most significant impact. These industries typically have stringent compliance requirements and handle sensitive data, making them ideal candidates for enhanced IT support.
