Whether you need 24/7 monitoring, patch management, M365 governance, or strategic guidance, we fill the gaps so your IT leaders can focus on the initiatives that drive your business forward.

Co-managed IT is a partnership where an external IT provider works alongside your internal IT team, sharing responsibility for infrastructure, monitoring, security, and strategy. Unlike fully managed IT — which replaces your internal function entirely — co-managed IT extends your team's coverage and adds specialized expertise without removing the people who already know your business.
While many companies value the convenience of an in-house IT team, maintaining one is not always practical or cost-effective, potentially leaving critical gaps in your IT infrastructure. Having the proper tools and finding enough time to perform management, maintenance, and security is essential. When your IT team partners with Tabush Group, you gain access to the expertise and tools your company requires to effectively manage increasingly complex IT.
Edge Co-Managed IT Services combine the flexibility of having your own IT team with the expertise of a managed service provider, working together using the same proven tools and processes to provide your company with both strategic guidance and the customized solutions you need to keep your technology running.
Co-managed IT is structured as a shared model. Your internal IT lead keeps ownership of business systems, end-user relationships, and strategic decisions for the firm. Your co-managed partner takes on the operational layers that are hard to staff for around the clock — 24/7 monitoring, patch management, threat detection, identity and Microsoft 365 governance, and after-hours coverage.
The arrangement is modular. You select only the services you need, and the partner integrates with the tools your internal team already uses. Reporting is shared, alerts are routed to both sides, and quarterly strategic reviews keep priorities aligned.
For professional service firms, the model solves three predictable problems: an internal team too small to cover every domain, gaps in specialized expertise (especially cybersecurity), and tools or coverage that don't scale with the firm. With co-managed IT, you keep direct control over what matters internally and gain coverage and depth in the areas where a partner moves faster than hiring.
Co-managed IT is not a service tier sold to firms with no internal IT staff. That is fully managed IT. Co-managed assumes you already have IT in place — and you want to make it stronger.
| Dimension | Co-Managed IT | Fully Managed IT | In-House IT |
|---|---|---|---|
| IT control | Shared between internal team and partner | Owned by external MSP | Owned by internal team |
| Specialized expertise | Added on demand from partner bench | Full partner bench available | Limited to in-house staff skillset |
| Strategic planning | Joint between internal leadership and partner | Partner-led with client sign-off | Internal team only |
| Cost model | Per-user-per-month, modular by service | Per-user-per-month, full-stack pricing | Salaries, tools, benefits, and recruiting |
| Best for | Firms with a lean internal IT function that need to scale coverage and expertise | Firms with no internal IT staff who want a complete external IT function | Large firms with budget for a deep, multi-discipline internal IT bench |
Your IT team is busy with day-to-day support and keeping your technology running, so they may not have enough time to perform proactive maintenance or updates. Or perhaps some tasks need to occur outside of business hours, stretching your team too thin.
Technology is constantly evolving, making it difficult to always have access to all of the expertise and skills your company requires for every scenario. When your team is missing specialized knowledge, it can hinder the team or the company’s success.
Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent, posing a significant risk to companies of all sizes. Access to enhanced cybersecurity tools is becoming essential to a company’s toolkit.
Your IT team must prioritize daily operations, which leaves less time for strategic planning, yet strategic alignment with the business is imperative for productivity and growth.
IT is the lifeblood of all companies, but underutilizing or not having access to the right technology tools puts your company at a disadvantage.

Co-managed IT is the practical way to layer enterprise-grade cybersecurity onto an existing IT function without growing headcount. Edge brings Guardian, Tabush Group's managed Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS), which identifies and isolates threats in real time and alerts your internal team to take action. Behind Guardian sits managed detection and response (MDR), patch cadence enforcement across servers and endpoints, threat hunting that goes beyond automated alerting, and incident response support if something does land. The internal team keeps visibility through dashboards and shared reporting, and the partner carries the after-hours and specialized load.
Microsoft 365 has become the connective tissue of professional service firms — and one of the hardest layers to govern without dedicated effort. Edge handles licensing optimization, security baseline enforcement (conditional access, MFA, identity protection), data loss prevention policies tied to your firm's actual data classifications, and identity hygiene across leavers, joiners, and external collaborators. The result is an M365 environment that stays clean and secure as the firm grows, rather than drifting into the configuration chaos that creates audit findings and breach exposure.
The Tabush Group 2026 Law Firm Technology Survey collected responses from more than 230 law firm leaders on cybersecurity confidence, AI adoption, and IT investment. The findings include a doubling of reported breach rates from specific cybercrime categories.
