FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are co-managed IT services?
Co-managed IT is a partnership where OCMSP works alongside your internal IT staff, covering specific layers — like monitoring, security, or after-hours support — while your team keeps ownership of the rest.
How is co-managed IT different from fully managed IT?
With fully managed IT, we handle everything. With co-managed IT, you keep an internal IT person or team and we augment them — filling gaps in coverage, tooling, security, and specialized expertise.
Will you replace our internal IT person?
No. Co-managed IT is designed to support and strengthen your internal staff, not replace them. We handle the load they can't cover alone so they can focus on higher-value work.
Can we choose exactly what OCMSP covers?
Yes. The split is flexible. We define together which responsibilities OCMSP takes on and which stay in-house, and adjust as your needs change.
