Why choose Aligned for
Co-managed IT Services?

Your technology partner, not just another vendor

Your technology partner, not just another vendor

The term Managed Service Provider doesn’t cut it for Aligned. We prefer Managed Service Partner — that’s what we think of when we call ourselves an MSP. Creating that partnership-level bond with clients requires trust, the first thing we build before any Aligned IT solution is in place. Building that trust means knowing the people depending on our expertise, knowing who we are working for. Only then can we accurately determine your organization’s needs and design, develop and deploy a solution — one that works from the start, and is able to adapt to the future.

A single point of contact for Technology issues

A single point of contact for Technology issues

As your IT partner, we work closely with vendors on your behalf. No need for you to maintain a list of who to call for what issue. We maintain these relationships, act as a front end to any action requests, and track their progress until the desired outcome is achieved.

FAQs
Need clarification?

How does co-managed IT work?

Co-managed IT combines the strategic framework and convenience of your in-house IT team with the support, knowledge, and expertise of a managed service provider (MSP). It allows your internal team to augment their service capabilities, fill security gaps, and focus on core business initiatives. 

Are co-managed IT services worth the investment?

Yes. In fact, managed IT services are one of the most cost-effective ways for small or medium-sized businesses to maintain their IT environment. Partnering with an MSP gives your business: 

  • Affordable talent to supplement your day-to-day operations 
  • Security & compliance-focused experts 
  • Faster project completion 
  • Predictable service fees 
  • Internal training 
  • And more… 

When should our business consider a co-managed solution?

Consider co-managed IT when: 

  • There are knowledge gaps in your team. 
  • You need to delegate day-to-day tasks to focus on business initiatives that drive revenue. 
  • You are experiencing growth, or have seasonal peaks, that require expanded support; but you don’t want to hire a larger team or can’t find the talent you need. 
  • You are looking for ways to reduce costs while still maintaining critical IT coverage. 
  • You want to mitigate risks by boosting your cybersecurity and/or want to ensure compliance in a regulated industry. 

What is included in managed services?

Your team can take advantage of: 

  • Help desk services 
  • Robust cybersecurity stack 
  • Proactive systems monitoring 
  • Security awareness training 
  • Technical planning 
  • And more… 

Will there be a Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

Yes. It is a crucial aspect of how we operate. An SLA sets the expectations for co-managed IT services. It clearly defines the metrics by which the effectiveness of the process is monitored and approved.  

What are the challenges of a co-managed IT environment?

Challenges arise when a co-managed IT partner does not do their due diligence. Thoroughly reviewing governance is a crucial aspect of a co-managed environment. Clear communication must be at the core of the relationship to ensure: 

  • Everyone understands their responsibilities. 
  • There are documented processes and escalation paths. 
  • Thorough understanding of the business goals and how they are being reached.
