Definition
Co-managed IT is a partnership where BRITECITY augments your existing IT department with specialized expertise, overflow support, and after-hours coverage. Your team stays in control. We fill the gaps, whether that's help desk overflow, cybersecurity, cloud migration, or strategic planning. Think of it as adding 35 engineers to your bench without adding 35 salaries to your budget.
We Get It
We've heard every concern. Here's the truth.
"Will they try to replace me?"
No. Our entire model is built on making you more effective. We report to you. We use your tools. We follow your processes. You present the wins to leadership.
"Will my team feel threatened?"
Your team will feel relieved. We take the 2 AM alerts, the password resets during your project sprints, and the vendor calls nobody wants to make.
"What if they don't know our systems?"
We onboard into YOUR environment. Your documentation, your ticketing system, your naming conventions. We learn your way, not the other way around.
"Will quality drop on outsourced tickets?"
Your SLAs. Your CSAT scores. We track everything transparently. If resolution quality dips, you see it in real time and we fix it.
Capabilities
Pick what you need. Leave the rest. Every service integrates with your existing environment.
