Tailoring Co-Managed IT Solutions For Your Team

Machado’s co-managed IT offers three service types, depending on your business needs: project-based (handling specific IT projects vs. day-to-day), ongoing support (continuous, proactive monitoring and assistance), and hybrid (the company’s internal IT team working alongside the external provider). Whichever service type you are looking for, we offer a variety of solutions to keep your technology infrastructure running smoothly, including:

  • Developing a streamlined network architecture that adapts to growth
  • Protecting sensitive data with cybersecurity services
  • Reducing costs and maximizing efficiency with cloud services
  • Minimizing downtime with proactive technical support

To ensure you are using Machado’s co-managed IT solutions to your full advantage, it’s important to assess and plan your business goals. From there, we’ll support you in achieving those goals.

Future Proofing Your Business

Machado strives to not only address the security threats of today but also strategize on how to embrace future challenges. New technological advancements like AI, IoT, and 5G, when not properly secured, can create more potential risks for cyber attacks. However, our team of expert IT technicians stays informed on changes and trends within threat intelligence, continuing to monitor and plan around emerging technologies and aligning strategies with all of your business goals.

Making The Transition to Implement Co-Managed IT

Machado offers our clients a smooth transition when they decide to implement co-managed IT services into their infrastructure. Our co-managed IT services are proactive, meaning we help your internal team stay ahead of threats, find potential gaps in your IT support system, and create a proactive plan that will prepare you for your next cybersecurity audit. We’ll create an IT roadmap from the ground up, by first determining the complexity of your business, developing a customized plan that is compliant, and maintaining that compliance. From the beginning of this process, we establish open lines of communication, providing training and addressing any concerns that might come up. Enhance your IT performance and enlist the help of Machado’s co-managed IT services.

The IT Landscape Evolves Daily and For a Small Internal Team, It Can Be Hard to Stay on Top of Everything

Cyber threats, software, and protocols change—often daily. Keeping internal software and hardware up-to-date can keep your internal IT team or pro from tackling the big problems. There are three main issues small internal teams face today, including:

IT Can Never Catch Up

Your entire company is relying on the IT team to assist with everything technology. This results in never-ending IT support to-do lists, keeping them from focusing on more strategic intitiatives that could propel your business forward.

Missed Opportunities—And Threats

Once your company grows to a certain size, your IT needs can expand exponentially making it difficult for your internal IT team to figure out and focus on what’s important to the business. Often, important technology projects get delayed, and sometimes small, but critical technology threats can be overlooked.

Key People Leave
