Co-Managed IT Services

Boost your IT team's efficiency with outsourced IT services.

Your IT resources must be capable of scaling with your organizational growth – but there's a lot that can get in the way.

Does your IT team experience any of the following challenges?

  • Pro-growth projects take a back seat to putting out fires and management of the day-to-day 
  • Your organization demands enterprise-level solutions, but your tech stack isn't quite there
  • There's little flexibility within your IT department for time-off, vacation, or illness 
  • Finding qualified IT professionals to expand your team proves challenging

How does co-managed IT work?


Co-managed services can be thought of as "hybrid" outsourcing. We learn your company's processes and practices, and act as a seamless extension of your IT team.

Our co-managed support model is tailored to each organization’s unique needs, but here’s the framework:

  • Your company's employees contact Collabrance for IT support via live-answer phone, email, or desktop chat
  • The Collabrance technician creates a support ticket and begins troubleshooting the issue, adhering to agreed-upon SLAs
  • Out-of-scope issues are quickly escalated to your internal IT team
  • Collabrance meets with your team regularly to ensure ongoing alignment

The issues most commonly resolved by Collabrance are tier 1, which, on average, account for 50% of support tickets.
