Co-Managed IT Services,
Your Team, Extended.

Keep control of your IT while Altanora covers monitoring, after-hours support, specialist skills and the work your team never gets to.

Talk to Us About Co-Managed ITWho Does What

What Are Co-Managed IT Services?

Co-managed IT is a partnership where your internal IT team keeps ownership of the environment and Altanora takes on agreed responsibilities, such as 24/7 monitoring, patching, escalations or specialist platforms like Citrix. You decide the split. We fill the gaps, so your team can focus on projects and the business instead of firefighting.

Altanora works alongside IT teams in healthcare, finance, government, telecom and manufacturing across Canada and the United States.

Co-Managed IT Services FAQ

What is the difference between managed and co-managed IT?

With managed IT, Altanora runs the environment for you. With co-managed IT, your team keeps ownership and Altanora covers agreed parts, such as monitoring, after-hours support or specialist platforms.

Who is co-managed IT for?

Organizations with an internal IT team that is stretched, lacks specialist skills such as Citrix, or needs 24/7 coverage without hiring.

How much do co-managed IT services cost?

It depends on scope. Managed services that replace an in-house engineer start at $2,500 a month, and support-only plans start at $750 a month.

Can we change the split of responsibilities later?

Yes. We review the responsibility matrix with you regularly and adjust it as your needs change.

Existing clients can open a ticket through the client portal, by emailing support@altanora.com, or by calling 514-849-1100 and choosing option 3. For general or sales questions, email sales@altanora.com.
