How Co-Managed IT with Snap Tech IT Helps Businesses Achieve Success
Insights from real clients on the transformative power of co-managed IT partnerships
IT leaders have to be incredible jugglers. From regulatory demands, complex tech stacks, and the increasing need for 24/7 cybersecurity, it can feel like there isn’t even room to breathe. For companies with internal IT teams, finding the right partner to share the load can make or break operational success. Whether you need a lot of assistance or just a little, finding the right MSP to partner with in a Co-Managed IT relationship is essential!
During Snap Tech IT’s webinar, we chatted with a few of our Co-Managed clients from various industries—including aerospace, nonprofit, and manufacturing. As the discussion unfolded, they shared firsthand how Co-managed IT with Snap Tech has become a cornerstone of their growth and resilience.
What Is Co-Managed IT?
As Ted Hulsy, Chief Revenue Officer of Snap Tech IT and host of the webinar, described:
“Lots of organizations struggle with the decision on whether to outsource or not when they have an internal team… Co-managed IT is that perfect balance of internal resources supported by external experts.”
Instead of replacing internal IT teams, Snap Tech IT becomes an extension of them—filling in skills gaps, boosting cybersecurity posture, and handling projects that would overwhelm limited in-house staff.
Why do Businesses Choose Snap Tech for Co-Managed IT?
Cost-Effective Expertise:
Nate Ankrom, President, CIO, CSO, & CVO of Genuine Machine Products, emphasized the math behind his decision:
“Bringing everything in-house would’ve cost us six figures a month. It was a simple math problem. Snap Tech delivers the expertise without breaking the budget.”
Flexibility & Scalability:
Nick Hulsey, Director of IT at Mission to the World, highlighted the need for adaptability:
“Snap (Tech IT) moves on a dime with us. We went from legacy infrastructure to fully cloud-hosted… during a pandemic. Snap Tech helped us pivot fast and smart.”
24/7 Cybersecurity Coverage:
Aaron Zabel, IT Manager at ERG Aerospace, put it bluntly:
“We can’t afford to build our own Security Operations Center. But with Snap Tech, I don’t lose sleep wondering how we’ll handle a breach. They’ve got us covered.”
Strategic Benefits of the Partnership
- Compliance Made Achievable: Especially in regulated industries, compliance frameworks like CMMC are mandatory for winning contracts. Nate Ankrom shared how Snap Tech helped them go from a negative cybersecurity score to being “higher than anyone else [their OEMs] had ever audited.”
- Shared Tools and Clear Communication: Clients praised Snap Tech’s use of tools like ConnectWise Streamline IT, which enables both internal and external teams to share tickets and updates in real time.
- Quarterly Business Reviews: Snap Tech doesn’t just “set and forget.” They meet regularly with clients to review metrics, project progress, and cybersecurity outcomes.
Advice for Businesses Considering Co-Managed IT
Nick Hulsey offered a word of caution for those shopping for an MSP:
“There are a lot of rigid MSPs that only want to do things their way. Make sure you choose a partner who’s flexible and listens—Snap Tech does that.”
And perhaps Nate Ankrom summed it up best:
“Snap Tech’s not just a vendor—they’re a partner. They’ve got your back. And that gives us the confidence to grow.”
