Myths debunked
It’s a “best of both worlds” approach that can help your business leverage an external IT service provider to fill IT gaps without sourcing, training and retaining qualified, expensive talent. However, misconceptions about co-managed IT can make it difficult to make informed decisions. In this blog post, we’ll bust four common myths about co-managed IT to help you understand the benefits of this approach and how it can help your business succeed.
Without further ado, let’s debunk the top co-managed IT myths:
Myth #1: My business won’t be able to afford co-managed IT
One of the biggest misconceptions is that co-managed IT is too expensive. In reality, it’s cost-effective, as you can reduce costs by sharing the workload without sacrificing quality. Additionally, the cost of downtime due to internal IT dealing with unexpected issues can be much higher than the cost of co-managed IT.
Myth #2: My business isn’t big enough to need outsourced co-managed IT
Many believe only large enterprises benefit from outsourced IT services. However, businesses of all sizes can benefit. Co-managed service providers can customize services to fill identified gaps and meet specific business goals. Even smaller businesses are vulnerable to cyberattacks, making advanced security solutions essential.
Myth #3: An outsourced IT specialist is less vested in my business’s success.
This is false. A good IT service provider aligns with your business goals. In a co-managed model, the provider becomes an extension of your team while the internal team controls the relationship. This ensures the IT provider is working to help your business succeed.
By now, you probably see that co-managed IT is a great option for bridging the gap between in-house and outsourced IT. However, choosing the right partner is crucial. A good partner understands your business needs and tailors their services accordingly. That’s where we come in.
