Co-managed IT for MSPs: Resources and Upcoming Events

For managed service providers (MSPs) looking to identify new revenue streams and evolve their service offerings, consider co-managed IT. Co-managed IT is the practice of teaming up with and supporting a business's internal IT team to achieve its IT goals. In a co-managed IT model, MSPs provide services that fill the gaps of a business's IT team to provide a holistic approach to IT.

If you're new to co-managed IT, don't fret. We've partnered with Bob Coppedge, a channel expert specializing in co-managed IT services, author of two educational books on the topic, and CEO of Simplex-IT and CoMITs4MSPs, to provide MSPs with access to the expanded resources they need to offer co-managed IT services to their clients.

Incorporating an entirely new service into your managed services offering is no easy feat, so in partnership with Bob, we'll be providing educational resources in the coming weeks and months to empower MSPs to take the leap with co-managed IT. MSPs can expect:

  • Live training series: Multi-part workshops that will educate MSPs looking to offer co-managed IT services to help grow their business
  • Webinar series: Webinars on various topics related to co-managed IT. The next webinar in this series is scheduled for April 15th at 2 PM EST. Sign up here!
  • Blog posts and short videos: Coppedge will be contributing his thoughts and insights on the co-managed IT market here on the MSP Beat blog
  • Datto events: Coppedge will speak at select Datto events to discuss and share his experience on co-managed IT topics
