Hi friend,

Summer often feels like the ideal window for strategic IT projects. Whether it’s a quieter business season, students and staff stepping away for break, or simply fewer day-to-day interruptions, many IT teams start June and July with a healthy dose of optimism: this will finally be the time to focus on the initiatives that are harder to tackle during the rest of the year.

But summer’s change in pace also means well-deserved time away for your team members, shifting schedules, and fewer overlapping windows for people to collaborate. Maintaining momentum on strategic work can become more challenging, even on projects that are carefully planned.

One thing we’ve learned over 20 years of working alongside IT teams: the teams that make the most progress in any season are often the ones that build flexibility into their operating model.

By extending their internal capabilities with trusted expertise, these teams maintain continuity on key projects while creating more room for their people to focus on what matters most.

It helps build a more resilient IT environment—one that can withstand changing schedules, time away, and the demands of back-to-school without derailing important work.

If keeping key projects on track while creating more capacity for your team is one of your goals this year, we thought this recent blog was worth sharing. It explores five signs that a co-managed IT approach could help your team stay on top of priorities while supporting your long-term goals.

Is co-managed IT the right fit for your team?
