We Work With Your Internal IT Team
Your IT team knows your organization. What they often lack is capacity, tooling or a specialist for every problem. We add all three, while your team keeps ownership and control.
What co-managed IT actually gives you
The right MSP makes your internal IT team stronger, not redundant.
Capacity without adding headcount
Take helpdesk overflow, patching, onboarding and offboarding off your team so they can spend their time on projects and priorities. You add capacity without the hiring.
Specialists your team does not have
Security operations, networking, Azure and Microsoft 365 are deep specialisms. We bring them in when you need them. Larger Microsoft 365 projects are delivered with Regroove, our sister consultancy.
Cover for absences and busy periods
When someone on your team is away or buried in a project, your staff still need support. We cover the gap, and critical issues still get a response within 30 minutes during business hours.
Shared tooling, shared visibility
Your team can use our monitoring, patching, security and documentation tooling, or we work inside yours. Tickets and documentation are shared so nothing falls between teams.
Your team stays in control
Co-managed IT only works when roles are clear. Your IT lead sets priorities and owns the decisions. We agree in writing what we handle and what stays with your team.
The same baseline and reporting
Co-managed clients get the same security baseline and monthly reporting as fully managed clients, so your IT lead has one clear view to take to leadership.
How we build the partnership
Roles, tooling and escalation paths are agreed before we touch anything.
Discovery with your internal team
We start with your IT lead and team. We want to understand what they own, where they are stretched, and where the gaps really are.
Defining roles and responsibilities
We write down clearly who handles what. No ambiguity. Your team knows what stays with them and what Ceifa picks up. This document evolves as things change.
Tooling integration and access setup
We get access to your environment, set up monitoring alongside your existing tools, and make sure our systems and yours are talking to each other properly.
Collaborative onboarding
Your team and ours spend time together getting aligned. Shared documentation, escalation paths, and a clear communication rhythm get established.
Regular coordination cadence
Regular touchpoints with your IT team and a monthly report keep everyone aligned. We flag what we are seeing, they flag what is coming up, and we plan together.
Quarterly scope review
Every quarter we review whether the split of responsibilities still makes sense. If your team wants to take something back or hand something off, we adjust.
