Too Many Competing Priorities
Internal IT teams often balance support requests, infrastructure maintenance, security concerns, and long-term projects at the same time. Urgent problems can push essential preventive work further down the list.

Co-Managed IT Services FAQs
What Are Co-managed IT Services?
Co-managed IT services supplement an existing internal IT team with outside tools, expertise, and support capacity. Your staff keeps its role and institutional knowledge while Dragonfly MSP handles agreed responsibilities. The arrangement can cover daily support, monitoring, cybersecurity, projects, or strategic planning.
How Is Co-managed IT Different From Fully Managed IT?
Co-managed IT shares responsibility with your internal team, while fully managed IT places broader day-to-day ownership with an outside provider. We define the division of work around your staff’s strengths and current workload. That structure helps avoid duplicated effort or unclear accountability.
Can You Work with a Small Internal IT Team?
Yes. Co-managed support can work well for businesses with 5 to 100 employees that have one or more internal technology resources. We can fill specific skill gaps, absorb support volume, or provide additional capacity for projects and ongoing maintenance.
What Can Dragonfly MSP Handle in a Co-managed Arrangement?
The scope may include help desk support, remote monitoring, IT asset management, cybersecurity, cloud services, backup planning, network management, and technology projects. Responsibilities are selected around your current capabilities and priorities. We document the working model so both teams know what happens next when an issue arises.
How Quickly Do You Respond to Support Requests?
Dragonfly MSP uses response targets of 30 minutes for standard requests and 15 minutes for urgent issues. Actual resolution time depends on the issue, access requirements, and whether outside vendors are involved. We keep your team informed as work progresses so requests do not disappear into a queue.
How Does Co-managed IT Pricing Work?
Pricing depends on the systems, users, responsibilities, and support coverage included in the engagement. Available structures may include tiered packages, flat-rate monthly services, and hourly or project-based billing. After reviewing your environment, we provide a clear plan outlining recommended services and pricing.
