Co-managed IT services can provide significant benefits to a business' IT managers and staff. These services allow IT managers to partner with a managed service provider (MSP) to share the responsibilities of managing their organization's IT infrastructure. This can help IT managers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their IT operations while also reducing costs and improving security.

 

Keep Technical Resources Focused on Business Goals

One of the main benefits of co-managed IT services is that IT managers can offload certain tasks to the MSP. This can include tasks such as monitoring and maintaining servers, managing backups, and providing technical support to users. By outsourcing these tasks, IT managers can focus on more strategic activities, such as developing new IT projects and initiatives. Cortavo manages all of the business’ routine technology tasks so your IT Managers don’t have to, and your Virtual IT Manager will lend their expertise to help you with project planning. 

 

Ongoing Support With Your Cybersecurity Strategy

Another benefit of co-managed IT services is that MSPs can help to improve the security of an organization's IT infrastructure. As the cyber threat landscape evolves daily, MSPs typically have experience and expertise in the latest security best practices and can help to identify and address potential security threats before they become a problem. Additionally, MSPs provide regular security updates and patches, which can help to keep your organization's IT infrastructure up-to-date and secure. Cortavo will do all of the above along with proactive network monitoring and ensure your staff is trained on cybersecurity best practices so you can sleep soundly knowing your business is secure.
