Local angle
Why East Kern teams pair with us.
01
One person, a lot of ground
Out in East Kern, the IT person is often the entire department. We add monitoring, security tools and a team they can call any time.
02
Public agency know-how
As a CSDA Business Affiliate, we help agencies with audit prep, Brown Act meeting technology and cybersecurity planning.
03
Remote first, on-site when it counts
Most issues get fixed remotely in minutes. When a project needs hands on site, we make the drive from Tehachapi.
The reality
One IT person covering a lot of ground.
California City teams are lean and spread out, and their IT person often handles everything alone. Co-managed IT adds a full team behind them without adding headcount.

Is it a fit?
Who co-managed IT works best for.
Great fit
Agencies and businesses with roughly 25 or more employees, an IT person wearing too many hats, rising security requirements or a major project on deck.
Better fit: fully managed
Under about 25 employees or no internal IT staff? Fully managed IT services in California City 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 backs your IT person up. They stay in charge, with more support behind them.
Who do our users contact?
Your IT person typically stays the first contact and brings us in as needed. If we handle the help desk, we answer first. We'll agree on it together.
How much does co-managed IT cost?
Usually less than fully managed IT and less than a new full-time IT hire. Call 661-750-8402 for a real number.
