That Back Up Your Team
Keep your IT people. Give them a bigger bench.

Got IT techs? Great. Let’s work together.
Our co-managed IT services in Tampa are built as a true partnership. Your internal team stays in charge of the day-to-day decisions, and ShowTech adds the tools, coverage and experience that are hard to build in-house. Think of us as an extension of your IT department, not a replacement for it.
- 150+ years of combined tech experience
- Dedicated Level 4 techs
- Flexible service levels
Is Your IT Team Stretched Too Thin?
Small IT departments carry a big load. If any of these sound familiar, a co-managed partner can help.
- Your IT person is buried in tickets and never gets to the big projects.
- You need enterprise security tools but can’t justify buying them on your own.
- Vacations and sick days leave your business without coverage.
- Migrations, moves and network upgrades are piling up.
- You want deeper monitoring and reporting without hiring more staff.
Let’s Work Together.
Contact UsWhat Is Co-Managed IT?
Co-managed IT is a partnership model where a managed services provider (MSP) works alongside your existing IT person or team. Instead of handing everything off, you share the work: ShowTech fills gaps, handles overflow and brings tools your team may not have access to, while your staff keeps the institutional knowledge and control. Read our full guide on how co-managed IT works.

Hiring Another Tech vs. Co-Managed IT
Adding headcount is one way to get more IT capacity. Co-managed IT is often a faster, more flexible way to get there.
Hiring another IT staffer
- Recruiting, onboarding and training costs
- One more person’s skill set
- You still have to buy and manage the tools
- Coverage gaps when someone is out
Co-managed IT with ShowTech

Co-Managed IT Services FAQs
What is co-managed IT and how is it different from fully managed IT?
With fully managed IT, an MSP takes over responsibility for your technology. With co-managed IT, ShowTech works alongside your existing in-house IT person or team, filling gaps, handling overflow and providing enterprise-grade tools your internal team may not have. For a deeper look, see how co-managed IT works.
Who is co-managed IT a good fit for?
Businesses that already have at least one internal IT person but need more capacity, more specialized expertise or better security tooling than they can build on their own.
How does co-managed IT work with our internal team?
We agree up front on who handles what. Your team keeps ownership of the areas they know best, and ShowTech covers the rest, from escalated support and monitoring to project work, using a shared ticket system so nothing falls through the cracks.
Will co-managed IT replace our IT staff?
No. The goal is to make your IT staff more effective, not to replace them. We add tools, coverage and senior expertise so your team can focus on what matters most to your business.
What tools does our team get access to?
Co-managed clients can get access to our security and audit tools, SOC / SIEM integration, and full auditing and reporting. We’ll walk through which tools fit your environment during an initial conversation.
Can we adjust the level of support we receive?
Yes. Co-managed agreements allow for flexible service levels, so you can scale support up or down as your business needs change.
Can ShowTech help with IT projects?
Yes. We help with small and large projects, including IT room moves, Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migrations, Azure Virtual Desktop cloud migrations, network buildouts and teardowns, and wireless and firewall upgrades.
How do I know if my IT setup is holding my business back?
Many owners don’t realize how much time is quietly lost to slow systems, repeated issues and workarounds that have become routine. Our post on IT support mistakes Tampa businesses make covers the warning signs.
