The Pressures Facing Your Internal IT Team 

As an IT leader making the most of your limited resources and budget, do the following pressures sound familiar? 

  • An expectation from your organization to always maintain operational continuity.
  • A constant edge-of-your-seat battle to defend your organization against rising cybersecurity threats.
  • The daily scramble to support your end users in a timely fashion.
  • A struggle to find time for strategic planning and innovation. 

So, how can you withstand these pressures all while grappling with shrinking budgets, limited headcount, and increasing complexity? 

VC3 understands your challenges. And we are ready to help you solve them. 

 

Don’t Go It Alone! We’ll Work Alongside Your Internal IT Team to Fuel Your Organizational Goals 

Our co-managed model is modular and flexible, allowing you to choose exactly where you need help—without losing autonomy over leading your team. We ensure that you: 

  • Maintain control of your team while gaining flexibility
  • Scale support as your needs evolve
  • Access advanced security and compliance capabilities
  • Avoid single points of failure when key staff are unavailable 

Here are some of the best reasons why IT teams choose a co-managed partner to help them. 

1. Empower Your Internal IT Team

Co-managed IT services complement and augment your internal capabilities. VC3 provides a collaborative approach, offering additional expertise, resources, and support when needed.

2. Focus More on Core Competencies

Offload routine or time-consuming tasks to VC3, freeing up internal resources so that you can concentrate on projects that directly impact your organizational growth and innovation.

3. Gain Specialized Expertise

Access a team of professionals with diverse skill sets and extensive knowledge across specialized IT domains—leading to enhanced efficiency, improved security, and optimized operations.

4. Reduce Costs

Compared to hiring additional full-time staff, partnering with VC3 can significantly reduce expenses associated with recruitment, training, salaries, benefits, and infrastructure investments. A predictable, scalable cost structure gives you better control over your IT budget.

Create Your Own Co-Managed Offering

Your organization is unique. We know a cookie-cutter co-managed solution won’t work for you. 

We’ve designed our co-managed services as a modular offering. Choose exactly the support you need, maintain control of your IT team, and scale as your needs evolve. 

 

Co-Managed Infrastructure Support

24x7 monitoring, maintenance, and support to keep your servers and network infrastructure running smoothly. 

For organizations that: 

  • Find themselves pulled away from proactive infrastructure maintenance due to a high focus on end user support issues.
  • Need additional resources to monitor and support infrastructure 24/7.
  • Want to supplement internal skillsets to help maintain modern servers and infrastructure. 

Co-Managed End User Support

With 24/7 end user support, we triage and resolve basic service requests while working with your team to resolve more complex issues. Also includes patch management and workstation monitoring and maintenance. 

For organizations that: 

  • Have specialized team members primarily devoting a disproportionate amount of time toward end user support instead of higher value initiatives.
  • Need a cost-effective way to increase the capacity of their internal helpdesk team.
  • Require true round-the-clock support without overburdening internal staff. 

Co-Managed Cybersecurity Services

24/7 cybersecurity team, strategic cybersecurity guidance, and enterprise-level solutions at an affordable price. 

For organizations that: 

  • Want to strengthen their cybersecurity posture with additional expertise and resources.
  • Need an affordable alternative to building an internal SOC.
  • Seek greater agility when responding to cybersecurity incidents. 

Data Backup + Disaster Recovery

Prepare for worst-case scenarios with offsite data backup solutions that get you operational again within hours. 

For organizations that: 

  • Need recovery plans for major incidents such as natural disasters and ransomware
  • Must become operational within hours, not days or weeks, after an incident
  • Require real-time monitoring to quickly address data backup issues 

What Our Clients Are Saying

We hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.

I was pleasantly surprised by VC3’s remote IT support and how well it served our city. We learned the hard way that we needed a vendor that helped us stay secure from ransomware and cyberattacks, update and patch everything constantly, and stay on top of IT issues. With VC3, everything is getting done. You don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never seen it before—and we hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.
