How Ascendant Co-Managed IT Support Works
Ascendant Technologies starts with an initial consultation at no cost to you. They will use a comprehensive responsibility matrix to identify technology gaps. The team will split responsibility whether its handled internally, passed to Ascendant, or a mixed responsibility (specific functions outsourced to Ascendant).
Every engagement produces a different relationship. Some clients just need server support or management, and others need full network management and support. No two businesses are exactly alike. Your IT strategy shouldn’t take on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Defining the Split
Depending on the amount of IT staff you have, your relationship with comanaged services may look different. If your internal team is small, you may have more gaps than you would expect. Each technician’s technical skill set can only cover so many topics and depths. Bringing in a specialized team will close this gap.
Day-to-Day of Working With a Co-managed IT Support Provider
Your IT team works tightly alongside Ascendant’s team. Maintaining your hardware and tools that are already in place. Ascendant Technologies co-managed IT models typically include a regular onsite presence at your office. The technicians walk the halls, know your staff personally, and understand your business. Your staff benefits from a full helpdesk. They can call in directly and receive IT support without waiting in call queues, waiting for a callback, or relying on an overseas support desk. Proactive monitoring your IT environment 24/7 so we can flag issues before they disrupt your staff. Our co-managed IT services are designed to remove the repetitive tasks from your day-to-day so your team can work on what moves your business forward.
How Co-Managed IT Services Help Internal Teams
Most companies in New Jersey with their own internal IT team are facing the same problems. There’s more work than technical staff to support the business. Co-managed IT services address this without the need to recruit and hoping you have the “right guy”.
The same environment your team built will be supported. We aren’t in the business of coming in and ripping and replacing the IT environment. Ascendant will preserve the investment in the hardware and software that you already have.
The result is getting your internal IT department that isn’t reactive to IT issues. A co managed IT services plan that offers predictable monthly costs that you can budget against. Your department is now fully staffed. You can breathe again: vacations, overnight on calls, and being the only guy would be a thing of the past.
Co-Managed IT Providers in New Jersey
There’s plenty of co-managed IT service providers in New Jersey. Most will sell the same thing, helpdesk services, cybersecurity services, IT consulting, and more. When you work with Ascendant’s co-managed services, the similarities end there. You want an MSP that can be in your office, whether it’s in Somerset, Morristown, Princeton, Jersey City, or Newark, the same day. Not the IT services firm that is working from a call center that’s a time zone away. You need an MSP that fits into your existing IT environment without hassle. This is what Ascendant Technologies has been doing for New Jersey businesses since 1994.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is comanaged IT different from fully managed IT?
Co-managed IT services are for mid-sized businesses that already have IT staff but are constrained for time or expertise in specialized topics. Managed IT services are for small and medium businesses without any in-house IT staff that are looking to outsource their entire IT department.
Does co-managed IT replace our internal IT staff?
No. Co-managed IT services are designed to add resources to your existing IT staff, never replace them. It’s a collaborative effort between the two parties to accomplish more in the IT department.
How is pricing handled for co-managed IT?
Co-managed IT services pricing is unique to the business needs. Your costs depend on the scope of work. If you’re curious what pricing looks like for co-managed services for your business, Ascendant Technologies will provide a free, no-obligation proposal.
What if our IT manager leaves the company?
IT Managers have institutional knowledge, passwords, and relationships that are tied to them. Having a comanaged services plan in place offers redundancy so the institutional knowledge doesn’t walk out the door with them. Your business will never be left short-staffed again.
Can we keep our current IT tools?
Yes. You maintain ownership of your hardware and software that you’ve already invested in. Co-managed IT services bring the resources to support it.
Is IT support available after hours?
Ascendant Technologies IT support services operates 24/7/365.
