Co-Managed IT

Additional technical capacity for organizations that already have internal IT but need escalation, project or operational support.

When this helps

When clients bring us in

  • Internal IT is overloaded
  • Infrastructure work competes with daily support
  • Specialized network/security skills are needed periodically
  • Projects keep being postponed
  • Vacation or coverage gaps create risk
  • The team needs a second set of hands without outsourcing everything

What we can take on

  • Escalation support
  • Project assistance
  • RMM and endpoint operations
  • Network and firewall support
  • Documentation cleanup
  • Cloud and identity assistance
  • Security remediation support
  • Vendor coordination

How we handle the work

We map users, devices, accounts, vendors and recurring support demand before changing the process. The goal is to remove repeated friction and make ownership easier for both staff and the people supporting them.

What you receive

We document account ownership, recurring procedures, device and service dependencies, and the information needed to support users without relying on memory.

We do not intentionally create lock in by withholding routine knowledge, credentials or documentation. Customers receive the access and SOPs appropriate to the environment and the agreed support model.

What should improve

Outcomes matter more than tool names.

More capacity

Internal IT can focus on priorities without losing operational coverage.

Access to broader skills

Infrastructure and project work can be supplemented when needed.

Shared ownership

Roles and escalation paths are defined instead of overlapping unpredictably.

Ways to engage

We can handle this as a project, alongside your IT team, or as ongoing service.

Operational augmentation

Recurring support for selected responsibilities.

Escalation partner

Use Orbiwest for complex issues or infrastructure work.

Project partner

Add capacity for migrations, rollouts and modernization.

Flexible ownershipCustomers can ask Orbiwest to manage the environment or keep work in house. We provide the agreed access, documentation and SOPs rather than creating dependency through hidden knowledge.
