Support Your Internal IT Team Without Replacing It
Many St. Louis businesses already have internal IT staff—but that doesn’t mean they have all the time, tools, or specialized expertise they need. Co-Managed IT Services from CNETS are designed to work alongside your internal team, providing additional support, strategic guidance, and specialized resources when and where they’re needed.
Whether your team is stretched thin, managing too many priorities, or needs help with specific initiatives, we step in as a true partner—not a replacement.
What Is Co-Managed IT?
Co-Managed IT is a shared IT model where your internal team and an external provider work together to manage your technology environment.
Instead of outsourcing IT entirely, you:
Keep your internal IT team in place
Extend their capabilities with outside expertise
Gain access to additional tools, processes, and 24/7 IT support
This approach gives you more flexibility while reducing the risk of burnout, gaps in coverage, or stalled projects.
Not sure if Co-Managed IT is the right fit?
We’ll walk through your current setup and show you where additional support could make the biggest impact—without disrupting your team.

When Co-Managed IT Makes Sense
Co-Managed IT is a strong fit for organizations that:
Have one or more internal IT staff members
Are growing and outpacing current IT capacity
Need help with cybersecurity, compliance, or infrastructure
Want to reduce pressure on internal teams
Have strategic IT initiatives that aren’t moving forward
If your internal team is constantly reacting instead of planning, Co-Managed IT can help restore balance.
How CNETS Works Alongside Your Team
We don’t replace your internal IT—we integrate with it.
Every engagement is flexible. We can take on specific responsibilities or act as a full extension of your team.
Where CNETS Co-Managed IT Services Add the Most Value
Reducing IT Bottlenecks
When internal teams are overwhelmed, routine tasks and support requests pile up. We help clear the backlog so your team can focus on higher-value work.
Providing Specialized Expertise
Not every internal team has deep experience in areas like cybersecurity, compliance, or cloud infrastructure. We fill those gaps when needed.
Improving Coverage and Continuity
Vacations, turnover, and unexpected issues can leave your business exposed. Co-Managed IT ensures consistent coverage.
Supporting Strategic Initiatives
From infrastructure upgrades to cloud transitions, we help move projects forward that might otherwise stall.
Co-Managed IT vs Fully Managed IT
Not every business needs to outsource IT completely.
Fully Managed IT is ideal if you want to hand off all IT responsibilities
Co-Managed IT is ideal if you want to keep your internal team and strengthen it
If you’re unsure which approach makes the most sense, we can help you evaluate your current environment and recommend the right model. Learn more about Co-Managed IT vs. Fully Managed IT »
