A co-managed IT services model is one in which the business has its own IT team, but still contracts with an external managed services provider for certain services. It offers businesses various benefits such as the ability to-

1.Save on IT costs as supplemental IT support via an MSP would cost much less than adding staff to the in-house IT team  

2.Leverage the MSP’s hands-on industry experience and IT thought leadership  

3.Enjoy the benefits of a 24/7 IT support team at a fraction of what it would cost to have an traditional 24/7 in-house IT setup  

4.Support an in-house IT team effectively during a crisis or even during a sudden increase in the IT load  

5.Retain control over critical IT decisions

 6.Enable the in-house IT team to focus on new technology that can make the business more efficient
