Co-managed IT

Updated November 15, 2026

Your IT staff stay in charge. Networx works behind them.

Short answer: Co-managed IT keeps your own IT person or team in charge of day-to-day decisions and projects, while Networx adds monitoring, patching, backups, security and help desk support behind them. Networx IT Solutions, independently owned since 2006, offers it to businesses with 5 to 100 employees across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Northern Kentucky.

  • Backups, with copies kept in an off-site backup data center

  • Security, including endpoint protection and threat monitoring

  • Help desk support where your team needs it

  • Cover when your IT person is out

  • A dedicated account manager

Co-managed or fully managed IT?

If you already employ an IT manager or a small IT team, co-managed IT usually fits: your staff keep day-to-day decisions and projects, and Networx adds monitoring, patching, backups, security and help desk support behind them. If nobody on staff owns IT, fully managed IT fits: Networx becomes your IT department and handles the whole job. See what a managed IT plan includes.
