Empower Your IT Team With Co-Managed IT Services

Augment Co-Managed IT is the perfect fit when your in-house team needs specialized assistance, additional experts on call, or off-hours coverage.

At Exigent, our co-managed IT services are designed to empower your internal IT team with the technical support, technology tools, and remote monitoring needed to elevate your operations. Whether you're looking for cloud services, managed security services, or help desk support, our team acts as a strategic partner to support your business goals—without the heavy upfront costs or long onboarding delays.

Often ideal for larger organizations, the hybrid approach of co-sourced IT support enables internal IT teams to divide roles and responsibilities based on technology, skill gaps, or expertise – getting the most value and enhanced support from Exigent.

Co-Managed IT provides alternatives to hiring additional staff or specialists, offering cost savings and enabling organizations to be more agile with IT support, projects, optimization, and special tech requirements. 

Why Choose Augment for your Co-Sourced IT Support?

Many businesses struggle to keep up with modern cybersecurity threats, ever-evolving IT systems, and the need to manage multiple devices across multiple locations. With Exigent as your MSP partner, our team becomes an extension of your internal resources, ensuring predictable pricing, reduced cybersecurity risks, and optimal cost savings.

Benefits of Co-Managed IT

Co-sourcing IT support can have a significant impact on a business’s overall operations. By outsourcing IT responsibilities to a managed IT service partner, companies can enhance internal IT productivity, support organizational efficiency, and receive a tailored approach to meet their unique needs. 

Some key advantages of co-managed IT services include:

  • Improved IT management
  • Increased security
  • Enhanced business productivity

Many companies turn to co-managed IT services when facing specific long-term challenges such as managing big projects, addressing escalated issues, and handling security breaches that may overwhelm their in-house IT teams. 

By partnering with an MSP, businesses gain access to a team of experts with specialized knowledge and skills, allowing them to better manage their IT infrastructure while also reducing the risk of cyber threats. 

Additionally, co-sourcing IT can provide cost savings, as businesses can avoid the upfront costs of hiring and training internal IT staff. With a predictable monthly fee, businesses can budget more effectively and avoid unexpected IT expenses. Ensuring regulatory compliance is also a critical concern, as it helps align IT operations with business goals and addresses security gaps or regulatory requirements.

How do Co-Managed IT Services Differ From Fully Managed Services?

In a fully managed IT model, your MSP does it all — from end-user support and infrastructure to proactive monitoring and project work. This model typically includes:

  • Help desk support
  • Server and workstation maintenance
  • Email filtering and endpoint protection
  • Remote monitoring and management
  • Technology roadmapping and procurement support

This comprehensive approach ensures that all services managed by the MSP are tailored to meet the unique needs of your business, providing flexible and adaptive IT support. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and ideal for businesses without internal IT staff.

With co-managed IT, your business retains internal IT talent—whether it’s a tech generalist or a full department—while partnering with an MSP in a partially outsourced, collaborative model that fill gaps, scales support, and provides higher-level expertise.

Some organizations rely on their internal team to lead projects while the MSP handles day-to-day service tickets. Others manage user support in-house and outsource cybersecurity or infrastructure management. The beauty of co-sourced IT is its flexibility and strategic alignment—you define the roles, and your MSP complements your team.
