✓ Bakersfield IT, backed up
Your IT person stays the quarterback. We're the bench.
Local angle
Why Bakersfield IT teams pair with us.
01
Field offices to front offices
Bakersfield IT teams juggle field crews, plant floors, clinics and public meetings. We take monitoring and security off their plate so they can focus on the people in front of them.
02
Local backup, not a call center
When your IT person needs another set of hands on site, we can be there. When they need an answer, a real person picks up the phone.
03
Special district savvy
Kern County water, healthcare and cemetery districts with a lone IT person get CSDA-savvy help with audits, Brown Act meeting tech and security projects.
The reality
Your star IT person can't be everything.
Expecting one person to be an expert in cybersecurity, cloud, help desk, strategy, vendor management and compliance is like asking your CFO to also run sales. Co-managed IT fixes that without replacing anyone.

Is it a fit?
Who co-managed IT works best for.
Great fit
Organizations with about 25 or more employees, a talented but overwhelmed IT person, growing security or compliance requirements, or a big project on the horizon.
Better fit: fully managed
Under about 25 employees or no internal IT staff? Fully managed IT services in Bakersfield will likely serve you better and cost less.
How we roll it out
Weeks 1 to 2: meet your team and learn your environment. Weeks 3 to 4: design how we'll work together. Weeks 5 to 8: start with low-risk services like monitoring and help desk overflow. Weeks 9 to 12: expand into projects and strategy as trust builds.
Will you replace our IT person?
No. Co-managed IT is about collaboration, not replacement. Your IT person stays in charge and becomes more effective, not redundant.
Who do our users contact?
Usually your internal IT person stays the first point of contact and brings us in as needed. If we're handling the help desk, we become the first contact. We set this up together.
How much does co-managed IT cost?
Co-managed services typically cost less than full managed services and less than hiring another full-time IT employee. Call 661-750-8402 for a real number.
Do you offer fully managed IT in Bakersfield too?
Yes. If you'd rather hand us the whole thing, see managed IT services in Bakersfield.
