## Short answer

Co-managed IT means your internal IT staff keep ownership of your users, systems and priorities, and TRNSFRM fills the gaps: 24/7 security monitoring, patching, backups, help desk overflow, after-hours coverage, projects and compliance work. It fits Cleveland area companies with one to a few IT people who are stretched thin. Pricing is per user per month, quoted after a short assessment.

## When co-managed IT fits

Most companies we talk to in Northeast Ohio have one IT person who knows everything about the business and has no backup. They handle password resets, the ERP, the phones, the printers and security alerts, and when they take a vacation, nobody does.

- Your IT person is buried in tickets and cannot get to projects
- Nobody watches security alerts nights and weekends
- A customer, insurer or prime is asking for CMMC, HIPAA or FTC Safeguards evidence
- You are growing past what one or two people can cover
- You want a second set of hands for a migration, office move or new location

## How we split the work

We agree on a written responsibility matrix during onboarding, so nobody duplicates work and nothing falls through the cracks. A common split looks like this, and we adjust it to your team.

- Your team: users and departments, line of business apps and ERP, vendors, budgets and priorities
- TRNSFRM: 24/7 monitoring and alerting, endpoint detection and response, email security, patching, backup monitoring and restore tests
- TRNSFRM: tier 1 help desk overflow and after-hours coverage, so your IT person is not on call every night
- TRNSFRM: documentation, compliance evidence, and project engineering when you need extra hands

## Your admin access stays yours

Your internal team keeps full administrative access and visibility. You see our tickets, alerts and reports, and we document everything in a shared system so your IT person always knows what changed and why.

## Local backup when your IT person is out

Our office is in North Royalton, so when your IT person is sick, on vacation or leaves the company, our engineers can be on site in the Cleveland metro the same day and already know your environment.

## How onboarding works

1. 1.
   ### Assessment
   We meet your IT team, review the environment and agree on what you want to keep and what you want to hand off.
2. 2.
   ### Responsibility matrix
   We write down who owns what, escalation paths and response expectations.
3. 3.
   ### Tooling and access
   We deploy monitoring, security and backup tools alongside what you already use, without taking away your access.
4. 4.
   ### Steady state
   Shared ticketing, regular check-ins with your IT lead and a quarterly review of projects and risks.

Leave with a written 1-page risk snapshot, scored against 47 controls, ranked by what an auditor checks first.
