What Is Co-Managed IT?
Co-Managed IT: The Smart Way to Extend Your IT Team
Co-managed IT lets your internal team stay focused on what they do best—while outsourcing time-consuming or highly specialized tasks to a trusted IT services partner. It’s like adding expert staff without the cost and complexity of hiring, training, and managing new staff.
What Are Co-Managed IT Service Providers?
Co-managed IT service providers deliver a comprehensive range of additional technology support tailored to your organization's needs. From extended help desk support and cybersecurity to network management software renewals, and more, they offer expert assistance that helps your IT departments work smarter, not harder. Best of all, co-managed IT services provide these benefits at a fraction of the cost of handling everything in-house, helping you enhance your IT capabilities without stretching your budget.

Why Choose a Co-Managed IT Model for Your Business?
Overloading your IT team is a fast track to costly mistakes and missed opportunities. When they’re stretched too thin, critical errors rise and growth-driving initiatives fall by the wayside. With co-managed IT services from Far Out Solutions, you can ease the burden, sharpen your focus, and give your business the support it needs to truly thrive. Here's how.
Emotional Burnout
Your in-house IT team is overwhelmed. Vacations, sick days, and unexpected absences are creating serious disruptions, and the signs of burnout are becoming impossible to ignore.
Driven by Success
You want your team to focus on high-impact projects that drive the business forward, but routine tasks are consuming their time and holding them back.
Maintenance Burden
Crucial proactive maintenance is falling through the cracks as urgent issues constantly arise, pulling your team away from essential patching, updates, and system monitoring.
Fast-Track Growth
Your business is growing fast, but limited time and budget make hiring new staff difficult. You need flexible, short-term support to scale efficiently and reach the next level.
Modern Hybrid Workspaces
With most of your workforce still remote, you’re unsure whether your current services—especially security policies and practices—are truly up to the task.
Lack of Professional Knowledge
You're dealing with major skill gaps in key areas, and sourcing qualified IT professionals is more challenging than ever. With high demand and rising salary expectations, finding top tech talent feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The Business Benefits of a Co-Managed IT Model
The main advantage of co-managed IT is its ability to fill in any gaps within your team. This allows you to concentrate on long-term objectives and strategic initiatives that enhance productivity and efficiency across the organization, while we handle the tasks your team hasn’t had the capacity to manage.
Here’s a straightforward list of practical benefits:
Budget-Friendly
Attracting, developing, and keeping skilled IT professionals has become increasingly time-intensive and costly, often feeling unattainable.
Risk Management
Many organizations lack the budget for dedicated cybersecurity experts and the advanced tools required to ensure robust protection.
Project Execution
In-house IT teams are often overwhelmed by daily operations, leaving little capacity to take on new initiatives.
Advanced Tools and Experience
Gain direct access to a wide range of experts, including solution architects, CIOs, CISOs, Microsoft and Apple technicians, and cloud IT consultants. It benefits from top-tier tools Like Kaseya 365 and ITGlue, along with 24/7 security monitoring, cloud backup solutions, managed data centers, and much more.
What Does Co-Managed IT Cost?
How much would it cost to hire every resource needed to fully staff your team? Can you really find all the expertise you need in just one or two new hires?
Or would it be smarter to invest in a flexible suite of services that fills your critical gaps?
Here are some average salaries to think about, along with recommended staffing levels. This doesn’t include overhead/labor burden (around 20%-30%) or technician utilization (around 70%).
From our experience, many companies have grown to a point where they need a professional IT department but can’t justify the cost of full-time specialists and enterprise-grade tools, especially when those skills and resources aren’t needed full-time.
With Far Out Solutions’ co-managed IT services, you gain 24/7 access to our team of experts. Whether it’s cybersecurity, help desk support, software deployment, or more, we provide your IT team with the reliable support they need to keep your operations running seamlessly.
